2 Hour – Crab Island Dolphin Tour

Fantastic Time!

VERIFIED
NEW

We had 3 adults and 5 kids and wanted to get out on the water, see dolphins, and visit crab island. We booked the evening before and they reached out and confirmed right after. They gave us detailed directions to the boat with parking instructions and a map. We got there the next morning for our 10am and got out on the water. We saw a ton of dolphins and spent time in the water at Crab Island. The kids had ice cream at Crab Island. We had time left and Captain Mike gave us several other options. We decided on a tour of homes in the channel. It was a great time for all of us! The boat was spotless and the cushioned seats were very comfortable. Captain Mike shared great information about sea life and the Destin area. He was a great captain and we had a great time visiting with him. I am so happy we found them! I would highly recommend booking with them!

Unforgettable Trip!

VERIFIED

Our family absolutely loved our boat tour! We saw many dolphins, a stingray, many birds, and a favorite for us was the private island to hop off and walk the beautiful beach looking for shells. We did the 8-10 am time slot and it was perfect, low traffic, easy parking. Our captain, Mike, was amazing and he made the whole experience for our kids so memorable and taught us a lot about the area. I truly wouldn't change a thing, we made such good family memories. I'm a mom of 4, ages 9 to 9 mo, and it was perfect for us.

Stellar day on the water!

VERIFIED

5 stars for Captain Brian! Dolphins, sharks, birds, fish, crabs, sun, sand & a drink in my hand! From private beaches to party sandbars, fun was had by all!! They are very knowledgeable of the area to give us a superior experience compared to other boat companies we have used on other trips. I enjoyed seeing all the boats & homes on the water. Wayne was also very helpful! Both were very accommodating to the custom experience we wanted. We recommend a 4 - 6 hour trip. You won't regret it!
