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.

Omg this cruise was everything!! I can't remember our two captains name but they were so nice and down to earth, I will be doing another one in the future thank y'all for showing us a good time.
Got to spend time with the family, see the dolphins, and a nice sunset. The captain and first mate were pretty cool too.
It was relaxing and exciting when we saw 8 different dolphins. The naraitor was very good at explaining the local history, sharing places to eat,, have your fish cooked for you. The Captain was very helpful and experienced. A lot of fun, you get to see quite a bit of the harbor. Young and old would enjoy from being to end. Thank you
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 !
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled Capt. Jeff and Will were able to make your granddaughter’s day with a dolphin sighting. We’re also so glad they could capture a family photo you’ll always have to remember your trip. Thank you for choosing Destin Snorkel, and we hope to see you next time on the water!
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!
