The tour was amazing. Addy and Sean were fun, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. They made sure we saw plenty of sea life and brought us to great locations to snorkel. Highly recommend this tour!

The ride was comfy, good vibes between the music and the operators. They brought out a bubble machine for my kids! Someone found a spider crab. We saw plenty of dolphins and a pretty big turtle

The boat and the crew was very nice! We saw lots of dolphins and snorkeled in clear water. The only problems we had was the goggles, mine and my friends kept getting water in them no matter what we did. They had little holes in them

It was a great experience! The caption and deck hand were awesome! Beautiful views and dolphins! Do it!

It was ok. Didn’t see many dolphins. Where we snorkeled the water was dirty and we didn’t see any sea life. Pretty disappointing. Staff was friendly. Wouldn’t do it again. Would have liked cleaner water.
Stephanie_L, Apr 2026
Fun for all ages!! Great dolphin watching! Just the right amount of time to enjoy, but not feel like it took up the entire day.
Kara_S, Mar 2026
Easy and fun for all ages! Great dolphin spotting! Boat was clean and comfortable with good staff and good music.
Sonia_C, Mar 2026
The whole experience was great! Captain and co-captain were very helpful and nice. The Dolphin watch was super exciting. Our kids loved it!!! Process was easy and fast.

This tour should not be called a snorkel tour. It was similar to wadding in a puddle and looking at minnows. They took us to a beach about 5 feet deep, and had us snorkel there. You can see better wildlife from the shore. We drove around for 3 hours, and saw one little dolphin. I saw 5 at the beach this morning for free. Overall, very bad experience and not worth the money.
Jack_F, Mar 2026
Saw a lot of dolphins even little ones. Not much to see snorkeling but also the water and weather are to cold in March, my fault. The captain and co- captain were the best. Super personable and very nice! Didn’t know we had to pay for the snacks!
Tracy_H, Mar 2026
Do not go In March. The water is freezing cold and most people couldn’t even get in. Wish they would have told us that before we went.
Lucilla_T, Mar 2026
We all had a wonderful time. Will do it again. Loved the dolphins 🐬. We saw jelly fish, dolphins were jumping out of the water, the weather was raining and fog and sunny. Stayed on the 70s
Sarah_T, Mar 2026
My dad and I had so much fun!! We saw dolphins and one even jumped up and through a wave! Snorkeling was great - we got to snorkel in two different areas. The water was so beautiful and emerald green! I definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

Nice boat. Great Captain and mate. Fun trip. A good value. The Captain Sean really knows his way around dolphins.
Maria_P, Oct 2025
Me and my teenage daughter did our very first mother-daughter trip to Destin and we chose the Soundside Cruiser dolphin tour and snorkeling. Captain Sean was great! We saw lots of dolphins!! We even saw a few jellyfish and a couple of small sharks. After they took us snorkeling in some shallow water and we found lots of hermit crabs and some sea shells. My daughter really enjoyed it! Thank you Captain Sean for making our first mother-daughter trip so memorable! ❤️

The captain and 1st mate made the experience very enjoyable. We saw more dolphins during this trip than ever before. In addition, the snorkeling adventure helped to prepare us for a future trip.
Laura_C, Oct 2025
Great fun! The Captain and First Mate
Were first rate! We travelled to a spot to snorkel and view some fish, then headed to where the dolphins play! Drove by Crab Island and then searched for Hermit crabs so we could watch them “race” on the deck before being thrown back into the water. The music and “vibe” was great for a fun trip for all ages!

Had a great time. Captain and his mate are cool people. Best prices around. Look forward to doing it again.
Jose_S, Sep 2025

We had the best time! It was well worth it and the guys were awesome! We definitely will book again!
George_H, Sep 2025
Was riding boat for almost 2 hours and snorkeled for less than an hour. Saw dolphins for like 5 min. Snorkel location was murky and didn’t have much fish.
Irina_S, Sep 2025
Really boring and the water was dark and murky. Would not recommend to anyone. Not worth the money. A
Melody_M, Aug 2025
Awesome experience! Sean and Hagan made sure that we had a great time. Definitely worth the trip for all 6 of us.
Ashley_M, Aug 2025
This experience beat my expectations by a long shot! I wasn’t expecting to see any dolphins at all but we spent an hour watching them hop waves. The snorkeling was wonderful as we saw tons of fish and crabs. The music selection was even great! 10/10
Vicky_C, Aug 2025
Great experience! Captain went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a good time. Would definitely recommend and would do it again!

Lisa_H, Aug 2025
Great snorkeling experience! Saw a lot of dolphins. The captain and first mate were very curious and friendly.
Michelle_C, Aug 2025
It was great.We saw lots of dolphins that swam directly by the boat.We also saw huge turtles.Very nice captain and co captain. Took time to take photos of each group, if they wanted. Snorkeling was fun. Saw hermit crabs,crabs,fish, and found some shells.
Tuesday_H, Aug 2025
The boat has covering, but not completely whereas the front of the boat is straight sun exposure. An umbrella or hat/visor for shade is advisable or recommended. Both tour guides, Nate and Hagan, were very pleasant and friendly. I would recommend the venture and experience!
Kasandra_M, Aug 2025
So much fun. We had a great crew. Our daughter had a blast and really enjoyed the snorkeling. Great experience.
