      Had a wonderful time. Captain was very informative of the landmarks and various spots. The crew was super friendly and helpful. Saw and was able to get awesome photos of the dolphins. The sunset from the boat was spectacular.

      The captain and crew were very friendly. We saw a lot of dolphins and the views were incredible! Highly recommend.

      Bird poop

      Rebekah_W, Oct 2026
      We went to see dolphins but constantly was watching the birds to make sure we weren't pooped on. The passenages would not stop feeding the birds. There was a woman in a wheelchair on the bottom deck who kept constantly getting pooped on. Please tell your passengers not to feed the birds so other customers can enjoy watching for DOLPHINS.

      Loved it so much!

      Dolphins all over the place!

      Best Dolphin cruise

      Donna_T, Sep 2026
      This was three best Dolphin cruise we've ever been on, highly recommended. The sunset was amazing and the Dolphins were amusing us all, there captain and crew were awesome.

      Missed the boat

      Amanda_B, Sep 2026
      It was ok, not their fault that part of our family was running behind because of a problem with their infant, so warning to others with small children… they will NOT give you a refund if you miss the boat. We lost out on over $220 dollars. Live and learn. I’m sure it was a nice experience.

      The crew was amazing. They were very friendly and helped by pointing out the dolphins and trying to get close enough for great pictures.

      Beverly_N, Sep 2026
      The boat and adventure was great. Would go on it again. Being about to cancel and adjust number of passengers was not easy as it showed. Didn't allow but to cancel one and had to call and get the other cancelled. I also did this before the 24 hour time frame. I had to call and have still not been credited for the 2 cancelled.

      We really enjoyed our trip! Saw so many dolphins! The crew is very knowledgeable on how to maneuver the ship for everyone to be able to see the dolphins in a safe manner

      Great trip! Beautiful boat trip and saw many dolphins. Definitely recommend! Crew was great and well run!

      Fun time with family and the crew was nice and friendly. It rained a little bit before we boarded the boat.

      Somboun_W, Sep 2026
      It was fantastic we get to see dolphins and jellyfish. It was fun I’ll do it again. It was great to hang out with family. I would recommend to everyone to book the trip. Enjoy the sun set it was beautiful.

      Joyce_H, Sep 2026
      Great for price. Enjoyable and relaxing. Exciting to see dolphins! Would recommend to other travelers also!!

      Our experience was 10/10....

      Mishandria_A, Sep 2026
      Our experience was 10/10. The boat arrived on time and the crew made sure it was cleaned before we boarded. The captain was very informative and entertaining as he told us about some of the history of Destin and all about the dolphins. The crew was amazing and very helpful. From serving up snacks and drinks to taking pictures for everyone on board, they were very attentive. Overall I enjoyed our tour and will definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

      Dolphin cruise boat captain amazing

      Scott_H, Sep 2026
      The cruise and the people on the boat were amazing. Parking lot company:The parking ticket I got was not. I paid $11.69 to park and they took it out of my account. I got a $55.00 plus $10.00 handling fee ticket. I didn’t get a receipt because it was a QR code. The parking lot company was rude on the phone and you have to dispute charges. Big hassle ruined my trip to Destin. Find free parking and walk to the dolphin cruise.

      The boat is spacious and well kept. The crew was fun and the captain commentary was knowledgeable and funny.

      Terrible birthday cruise

      patty_m, Aug 2026
      On my birthday this is usually top on my list to do. Weather was fine in beginning but quickly turned bad. But captain was young as well as all the staff. So we were only ship out in the end. Too much trying to feed birds that pooped all over. I complained but to no avail. Due to weather, we were not able to see the usual number of dolphins. Disappointed and worried so much about lighting that was coming straight down.

      Not Getting what the trip offered bbshdheheheheheehehehhee

      Daniel_V, Aug 2026
      We didn’t see no dolphins lolhehehehehehehehebebebebebebebebenejdjdjjdjdjdjdjdjdjddndjdjddjjdjdjdddj

      The excursion was OK....

      Angie_W, Aug 2026
      The excursion was OK. Started at 6:30, left about 6:35(no biggie). Seeing dolphins towards the end of the excursion really made up for the entire excursion. Leaving the marina, the guide states you can feed seagulls. Unless you want seagulls vomit or poop on you, I highly don’t recommend feeding them. My guy was hit with seagull spit-up, and ruined the entire execution for him. The water was very choppy, the closer we got to the rock barrier. We came back inland, the sun was setting around 7:30, and finally seen all the dolphins!! They definitely come out when the water is calm and sun is setting! It was a family of them and so many of them all around the boat. It was wonderful to see them up close!

      Overcrowded it’s clear...

      Waffa_R, Aug 2026
      Overcrowded it’s clear it’s all about numbers for you guys not enjoyment too many people not enough seating. It felt the tool was more of promoting restaurants than Willie targeting dolphins or discussing something other than promotion for restaurants.

      Excelente

      YOANYLET_T, Aug 2026
      An excellent trip... the guide and crew do everything to make the dolphin-watching experience wonderful, and the way the boat turns for the sunset is spectacular.

      Amazing each time

      Jessica_T, Aug 2026
      This is our second cruise with this company and we had a blast! We love the history and the boats are so nice and well maintained. So worth the price

      They canceled on us after 30 minutes waiting past departure. They never let us know they were canceling via text message or anything. Terrible experience.
