Itinerary
You’ll cruise in comfort on one of our six vessel—designed for stability, space, and perfect photo ops. With a shaded deck, open-air viewing areas, a clean onboard restroom, and plenty of comfortable seating, this is no ordinary boat ride. It’s an all-ages, all-smiles kind of cruise, perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers who want to soak up the best of the Emerald Coast. Of course, bottlenose dolphins are the stars of the show, but they’re not alone out there! Depending on the day and the season, you might spot graceful sea turtles surfacing nearby, stingrays gliding beneath the waves, and curious shorebirds like pelicans and herons cruising overhead. You may even catch a glimpse of a manatee or even some sharks if the conditions are just right. And don’t underestimate the Gulf itself—its shifting shades of green and blue are as hypnotic as the wildlife within.

Great experience. Kids enjoyed it. They put us right on the dolphins and we sat and watched them for a long time.
Great time with seeing a lot of dolphins and a beautiful sunset. Everyone in our group age 72 to 8 years gave it a 10
We had a great time the two guys did a great job looking for the dolphins and succeeding in finding them.
Clean, fun, and workers were so informative and made the experience feel so much more enjoyable. Came from Dallas Texas and definitely will recommend this one.

Capt Jeff and Will were amazing! They were determined to get our granddaughter a glimpse of a dolphin. They did not disappoint! They took a family photo of us that we will forever cherish ! Highly recommend !

we went on a dolphin cruise last year that was not nearly as good as this one. The captain was able to coordinate with another Boat next to us, and the dolphins were jumping up and doing flips and more dolphins came and joined, and it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I’ll never forget it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled this cruise exceeded your expectations and that you got to witness such an incredible dolphin encounter. Those unforgettable moments are exactly what we hope every guest gets to experience. Thank you for choosing Destin Snorkel, and we hope to see you next time on the water!
We had the best time and saw plenty of dolphins! The guys even took the time to take a sunset picture for everyone on the boat! Will do this excursion with them again!

We’re glad our crew could capture a special photo for everyone to remember the evening. We look forward to welcoming you back again, and we hope to see you next time on the water!
Definitely worth it if you’re sensitive to the direct sun and still want to see the dolphins. We were lucky enough to watch them jump into the waves the boat was making and they followed us for quite a ways.
Thank you for the great review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the cruise and your dolphin encounter. We hope to see you next time on the water!
Our Captain Cole and First Mate Gunnar were both great. Got to see an awesome Dolphin "show" as they surfed and jumped in our wake. They also let the kids drive the boat for a short time. The provider is Destin Snorkel.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad your family enjoyed the dolphins and the kids had a chance to drive the boat. We hope to see you next time on the water!
