Destin Dolphin Watching and Shelling Tour
Description
Our shelling and dolphin tour is a great way to get out on the water, search for shells, hermit crabs, and look for dolphins. Looking for shells in Destin is not the same as shelling on Sanibel Island, but you will get to enjoy the experience of shelling and participate in Destin Snorkel’s famous ‘hermit crab’ races. In addition to finding shells and crabs, many people find a variety of marine life; baby seahorses, baby shrimp, puffer fish, blue crabs and file fish. Our Captain and mate will educate the children about the various marine life. After the shelling part of the tour, our Captain will take you searching for dolphins in the Bay or Gulf.

My family of 5 recently did the Dolphins & Shelling Cruise, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Captain Cole and crew member Brandon were absolutely fantastic. They were incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone onboard. Not only did they share interesting facts about the local marine life, but they also kept things fun and engaging for both the adults and the kids. Their great personalities and enthusiasm really made the experience memorable. I honestly have zero complaints and would book this excursion again in a heartbeat. If possible, I would definitely request Captain Cole and Brandon—they truly went above and beyond to make our trip special. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re thrilled your family had such an amazing time on our Dolphins & Shelling Cruise. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Capt. Cole and Brandon, they’ll love hearing how much you appreciated their knowledge, enthusiasm, and dedication to making your trip special. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to see you next time on the water!
This was our kids first trip to the beach and they loved the boat and the chance to find their own shells. They got a pretty good haul and had an amazing time. My husband and I also enjoyed the trip. It was relaxing and laid back, and getting to experience that with our kids was the best!
Thank you so much for coming out with us! We love that we got to be a part of of your kids first beach vacation! Hope to see you next time!
Amazing experience, love the crew. The boat is clean, spacious and as dolphins were getting by/close they will tell you when and where to go. The shelling spot is amazing, definitely family friendly with small kids. And the front desk/receptionist is always nice and ready to help.
Crew answered all our questions, they were very knowledgeable about the area, Very entertaining, great music from OUR generation!!!
Thank you so much for coming out with us! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the music :)
Such a fun day! We saw so many dolphins and the shelling was the best! We felt like kids again!
Oh we love to hear this! Nothing like feeling like a kid again!
