Daniel and Jesse were awesome! Totally worth the money. We saw dolphins, took awesome photos at sunset, and listened to great music. Vibe was exceptional. Will do this again!

We had so much fun on the Bikini Bottom! Everyone was so nice and attentive. They let the kids (and my fiancé 😂) take turns driving the boat, took great pictures of everyone and the sunset, and we even saw dolphins! Family-owned, great people, and 10/10 worth every penny.

Overview

While waiting for those magical moment, children are invited to take the wheel so parents sit back and unwind.
  • See wild dolphins up close with an in-the-know crew on the lookout
  • Spot sharks and manatees as well as dolphins with the help of your guide

Great experience! Captain Daniel was professional, fun and skillful behind the wheel. Tanya was also excellent keeping the trip fun. The most highlight was seeing so many dolphins around the boat. I have never seen so many dolphins in my life. The sunset view was phenomenal. We took lots of sunset views. Would strongly recommend Bikini Bottom tour to friends and family.

Super energetic and friendly hosts

Araceli_A, Aug 2026
We had an amazing time, even with the rain coming down on us. It actually made for a better encounter with dolphins, I believe. Daniel and Tonya were amazing hosts! They were so friendly, helpful, and energetic. The music was great. Both were such good dancers. Would definitely book again.

Very disappointed

Denny_E, Aug 2026
Very fun and entertaining captain Daniel. Unfortunately we only got a half hour our excursion instead of 2 hours as a storm worsened and had to return. Would have been nice to have the choice to get a refund or take a chance. Then could have refunded half our money since our excursion was cancelled and had to return. If I come again will definitely make sure the weather is good think it would have been amazing!

Definitely recommend

Valerie_M, Aug 2026
Even though there were storms rolling in we still got to go see 3 dolphins and the two workers on board made sure that it was a blast

Family Owned Company!

Morgan_W, Jul 2026
Captain & Tanya were AMAZING! Hands down best tour I’ve been in Destin. Kept the crowd engaged , told us some history of the area, extremely energetic! It was also a smaller number of guests on the tour, which we LOVED. This is a family owned company/ boat which is what we love to support!

This is a family owned business and they are amazing. Great vibes and playlist on the boat. Extremely friendly and caring. Bought merch and they didn’t have a size in a design we wanted so they made it for us during the boat ride and had it ready after. 💯 worth the great experience.
