The experience was great! Dolphins swimming alongside the boat was great! Saw turtles and even a shark! Snorkeled in calm water. My children had a blast!

    Loved it! Relaxing, beautiful, and saw some incredible wildlife. Dolphins chasing a massive school of fish, dozens of pelicans diving into that school of fish getting breakfast, and even stingrays. Our crew was great and the ride was so peaceful

    My family and I really enjoyed! Weather was nice and I snorkeled for the first time along with my sister. I saw fish near the greenery.

    Excellent choice!!

    Brittany_M, Jun 2026
    It was fun until it wasn’t. The driver said we could get off the boat to snorkel and that we could all touch the bottom. I am only 4’11 and couldn’t touch. I tried to swim to the boat and I couldn’t make it, had a panic attack and had to turn around and swim back to the shore, I literally almost drown trying to get back to sore. He did finally move the boat closer to the shore but I almost drown from trying to turn around and swim back. It was scary.

    Amazing experience for the whole family! Easy to get checked in and going. We saw dolphins, went past crab Island, and snorkeling in a perfect location for kids.

    Awesome 👌

    The snorkeling was a little disappointing (no fish) but the dolphins made up for it . Captain Ben navigated perfectly and Courtney did the best job . She was extra sweet and very helpful.

    Loved it!

    Saw dolphins and herons, osprey, puffer fish and fry in the sea grass, crabs! The staff was awesome and the captain was fun 🤩

    Poor service

    Lauren_L, Apr 2026
    Not easy to find where to go. Text the guy back saying we were looking for him and the boat but they left despite asking me if I was here and me confirming

    Great Adventure

    Jacqueline_L, Mar 2026
    This is a fun beginner snorkel adventure. The staff (Courtney and Addy) were fun and informative. We were able to see several Dolphins. They offer food and drink on board for $. It’s a great way to experience the water.

    Best adventure!!

    Lindsay_M, Mar 2026
    Absolutely loved this experience!! If I could have stayed on that boat and snorkeled all day I would have. Me, my husband, 15yo son and 14, 13 and 8yo daughters had a blast. Fun for all ages. I will definitely book again.

    MaryBeth_G, Jul 2025
    We saw plenty of dolphins and sharks up close on the ride. Great music and good vibes. Snorkeling was fun; we found crabs and seashells. Fun for the whole family and would definitely recommend!

    Lost time I can’t get back!!

    Maureen_M, Jul 2025
    The trip was sad. The two people that were there to make it a good time, they were to worried about their phones!!! The girl a smart as*, the so called captain was a joke. They didn’t try to interact with us. Dropped us off at the place to snorkel and just kept there backs to us! When it was time to leave they didn’t even know who if anyone was still off the boat! The pics on your site had not been the place we snorkeled. We had nothing but merky water and seaweed! Coming back to dock our captain stopped to get people ice cream if you wanted it. And sat in the way of everyone flirting with the young lady selling it! Then we had to wait til he got his ice cream and ate it. On the way back we had to hear the two talk about there sports life and again flirted heavily again! It just wasn’t good. All the other water things we did had the happiest and nicest crew. Not this! Would never recommend your company to anyone!

    Nothing I’d do again

    Cassondra_G, Jul 2025
    Snorkeling was very uneventful. Water was dirty and there was nothing to see or find. Like snorkeling in a lake.

    Fun Time in Fort Walton Beach

    Eren_T, Jun 2025
    My daughter and I took the morning snorkel and dolphin cruise & had a great time. We did not see many dolphins, but my daughter (16) loved the snorkeling! We found many small crabs and lots of different fish. The area we snorkeled was shallow and smooth, so it would be easy for young kids to participate in. The crew were fun and engaging. Overall I would recommend this excursion.

    Incredible experience at a great price

    Rusty_W, Apr 2025
    What an amazing experience for the price. The captain and deckhand were great and the atmosphere was fun and chill. The Dolphins were beautiful to watch and finding shells with crabs and schools of feeding fish was such a delight.
