Dolphin Tour

The dolphin tour was great. Our tour guide Landon did a fantastic job making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. We saw plenty of dolphins and had free time to ride.

Great Experience!

Great Experience! Our guide Eli was awesome! Nice easy ride. We were given some free time to just goof off on the wave runners. Dolphins swam right next to us in the gulf. Next to the dolphins, traversing the waters through the jetty made the tour just as fun. You really can't beat the price for a 2 hour waverunner rental. And you get to see dolphins? Enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended.

Good for big kids/great time!

My 9 year old daughter and I did this! It was super fun and Josh was very knowledgeable. He showed us a shark, dolphins and some sting rays! A super fun time and we would do it again. Don’t forget to sunscreen because the sun will get you😅

Excellent experience

To be honest I was a little concerned that our tour guide would be on a pontoon boat, but oh my, this was one of the most amazing excursions we’ve done in Destin. We’ll still do our AJ’s dolphin tour, but will definitely do this again.

Well worth the cost

Mason asked us what we wanted to see and do. Our primary aim to jet ski close to dolphins. We accomplished that along with seeing sharks, stingrays, and spending time at crab island
