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!

Great experience. You can purchase snacks and drinks on board. The captain takes you out to look for dolphins and gives you suggestions on where to eat. Snorkeling is at the end of the trip and lasts about an hour.
Really fun trip with great playlist!
Awesome, friendly staff! Trip was great with sightings of dolphins, went diving and found crabs, hermit crabs and seen lots of fish!
The captain was great! Very friendly! I recommend sitting at the front of the boat for the best views!
The boat ride was great get to see many dolphins and did a scuba dive. See a lot sea and fish . Will definitely do its again if I go visit there
It's a lot of fun! We saw dolphins while out, the captain is very knowledgeable about the area and they're a very laid back crew!
We had a Greta time snorkeling and dolphin watching. The guides were wonderful and accommodating and the boat was so clean and felt safe! Thank you for a great and memorable time
I don't think this should be marketed as a snorkeling tour. The tour made two stops. One was a public swimming beach that was very crowded. The water at both spots was dark. The second stop was better from a crowd perspective. We did see some dolphins and the stop near Crab Island was fun. If your focus is good snorkeling, this isn't the trip.
It was great! The guides were awesome! We had ages from 59-7 and it was great for everyone. The water wasn’t as clear as normal but had a tropical storm going for several days before we went.
A fun experience that is family friendly! They had some yummy snacks and drinks on the boat! All you really need to bring is your own phone case water protection if you’re wanting pics in the water and a towel, they’ve got everything else covered!
We had a good time. The ride and the hostesses were very nice and accommodating. Parking was a little difficult to understand. But other then that we would do again next year.
The captin and first mate were kind and informative, we saw plenty of dolphins during the boat ride. During the snorkeling portion of the experience we saw fish, crabs, and a seahorse despite the water being yellow and cloudy. The website claimed that bottle water was included but only cups of water were available. Over all the excursions was fun.
honestly such a good company. We booked in April when I had originally planned to book for June and the company was so accommodating and easily switched the dates for us. We ended up taking one of our kids to the Dr and they let us reschedule AGAIN. Absolutely amazing of them cause most company’s will not let you do it once let alone twice.
But it was so fun and the snorkeling was great. Saw lots of wild life and we even caught a puffer fish and got to hold it. Very family friendly. We did see some dolphins but they were further away from the boat.
What great the team captain and co worker are fun awesome and know what they are doing! Great job thank yall do much.
Captain was not interested in looking for dolphins. He was nice and so was his crew mate. However we booked this to go see dolphins, he was not interested. He did take us to two small spots to snorkel. But he used 30+ minutes of our “dolphin time” to get snow balls that are $18 at crab island. I have been on several boat tours. From Pensacola to Panama City. This one wasn’t great. It wasn’t bad either but it wasn’t great.
Not very entertaining or informative. Just drive out oh there’s a couple dolphins for like 1 minute then snorkel and the boat motor was acting up took forever to get back to dock.
The captain and first mate were nice however not near as interactive and friendly as I have experienced on these tours before. Very few dolphins were seen compared to tours we have been on before. The snorkel part was less than thrilling with in a muddy bay.
It was a great dolphin & snorkeling cruise with Samantha & Sean. We snorkeled and all found hermit crabs and had a race on the boat after, which was entertaining for all. Saw quite a few dolphins, crab island and it was a great boat ride.
Not as advertised. We did see a few dolphins before the “Captain” ran into a buoy. Bottled water according to web page was included but they charged $2 per. I asked the “captain” why and all he said was it was a mistake. They had a small dingy come to the side of the boat at Crab Island trying to sell chicken nuggets, boiled peanuts, hats and ice cream. We wanted to snorkel. Then the place they took us to snorkel was only about 3’ deep, murky green water and sand. Absolutely nothing to see. We were told to not go in deeper water because it was in the boat lane and we might die. Their words not mine. Some people went a few feet to the shore and found a couple of shells. One snorkeler found a small dead crab. Then back to the dock where the “captain” ran into the dock and then had a very hard time getting into the slip. I don’t know if he was somehow impaired. The crew was not engaged at all with the passengers. One crew member was on her phone and the “captain” was eating the snacks they wanted us to pay for. Nothing like the pictures on the web site showing blue water, sea turtles and fish. Overheard one passenger tell his wife, what a waste of money. If I could give this tour no stars I would
The dolphins were cool, the snorkel part was not very cool. We didn’t see anything and was very boring
Smooth ride to some great dolphin watching spots. Super clear and calm water to snorkel and the kids saw a lot of different types of fish.
It was fun, we saw dolphins & a school of sharks, and many large fish in the snorkeling part. Would definitely do it again.
We had a wonderful time seeing all the dolphins. They even seemed to put on a show for us. The water in Destin is absolutely stunning.
Very friendly. Made you comfortable Dolphin watching was great. Would recommend this trip to everyone
Didn't even get to go because of the construction around and there were no clear signs for this experience. I got an email with my tickets and that's it no additional information, no waivers, nothing saying what time we need to be there.... Our your was at 2pm. We were in the parking lot at 155 and the boat was already pulling away from the dock. Will not be booking through this again
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
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!
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.
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.
