This trip was convenient, inexpensive. The kind staff sells drinks and goes over safety procedures. They spot dolphins quickly and try to stay close to them. Our 3 year old loved seeing the dolphins! 10/10

My husband and I drove down to Destin FL. for a weekend getaway and decided on taking the dolphin, sundown cruise as one of our activities. We both throughly enjoyed the cruise. The crew was great! Saw lots of dolphins, captured great pictures of the dolphins. I would definitely recommend taking this cruise to anyone in town visiting.

We had the greatest captains. They gave us lots of information and showed us lots of dolphins. My grand daughters loved it. The were sad they couldn’t ride one like Mamaw did in the Bahamas. They still loved it.

Definitely saw dolphins! Much more than expected! Boat was mostly shaded. Waves got a little rough. Guides were chill, but had great music

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Hi Brooke, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your trip with us. Come back and see us again. The seas are hit and miss our captains try their hardest to keep a smooth ride but sometimes the best dolphin shows are in a little bit rougher seas.

Rained Out

Kathy_Y, Aug 2026
Unfortunately, a storm popped up just before our departure time so it was canceled due to rain and lightning. We requested a refund as we were unable to reschedule as it continued to storm & rain the remainder of the day. We will definitely try again on our next trip!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Hi Kathy we are trying to understand what the 1 star is for. We issued a full refund like you requested. We are sorry we were unable to take this trip out due to weather.

Im going to help you, just pick this tour!!!

Steve_M, Aug 2026
When I was looking for dolphin tours, as you can imagine, I found tons of different cruises with all different types of reviews. But I went with this one because it had the best reviews and recent, and the reviews were right. What a fun experience and amazing staff. We were able to go out into the gulf and right away we spotted a pod of dolphins. Then we saw more and more. Some of them even got up close to the boat and they had some babies with them. My kids were in love. Really great cruise with great staff. Highly recommend.

Great experience. Recommended

Jack_S, Aug 2026
It was a chill trip around the bay. We saw dolphins within 10-15 minutes after leaving the dock. The crew were nice and down to earth folks that genuinely cared if you got to see dolphins or not and made sure you did. Boat was clean and spacious.

Bring water bottle with drink in it to avoid having to buy one on the boat. Be sure to use the bathroom before boarding! There is a basic bathroom on board but the water was really rough for our cruise-I would have hated for someone to be in that little bathroom!😂
