2 man crew, everyone was nice enough. Stopped at 2 different places to snorkel. Snorkeling equipment was average.
We had a great time. Loved it. Kada and Oliver were great, funny and very friendly! Will definitely come back!
It was a great time! Captain Mark and Z were very welcoming, informative and made sure my 12, 11, and 4 yr old daughters were safe. My 4 year old was even able to snorkel. Definitely would recommend!
We had fun! Collected shells.
Although the weather didn't cooperate and it was rainy, we had a wonderful time. The Captain was excellent and crew, Z, was as well. We really enjoyed the adventure and they provided all we needed!
Thank you for the kind review! We're glad the weather didn't stop you from having a great time. We'll be sure to share your compliments with the Captain and Z. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you again on a sunnier day! ☀️🌊😊
It was not the best snorkeling experience due to the locations we went to. There was not much sea life in the first location and there was absolutely non at the second location. I would recommend they spend some time looking for better locations to improve the experience for the customer.
All Destin snorkel companies snorkel in the same areas. Although it is not the Caribbean, Our snorkel is very nice for north Florida. We snorkel, feed fish and sea shell hunt. 99% of our customers are happy and enjoy their trip. It is unfortunate it was not as eventful as you wanted.
Where the snorkeling took place there wasn't many fish and the shell area not populated
Thank you for your feedback—we really appreciate you joining us. We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful water and the day out on the Gulf 🌊☀️ We’re sorry to hear the snorkeling and shelling didn’t meet your expectations. Conditions like tides, weather, and recent activity can affect both fish visibility and shell availability, and we always do our best to choose the best spots each day. We truly value your input and hope you’ll give us another chance in the future—we’d love to provide you with an even better experience next time! 🐬💙
This was our absolute favorite thing we’ve ever done in Destin. My family and I exclusively go to Destin and last May we did the Pelican Adventures Snorkeling/Shelling tour and we had an absolute blast! The only drawback is the “shelling” part. We were able to get absolutely nothing as far as shell keepsakes. Destin isn’t exactly known for having tons of shells but I thought since this tour was billed as a “shelling” tour, they knew something we didn’t. But that wasn’t the case unfortunately. Still, the snorkeling and feeding the fish and the overall experience at large was great. The captain and crew were solid, very informative and experienced which made us feel safe during our time with them. There was ample time at each stop to enjoy, it didn’t feel rushed at all. They took us out in the gulf a little ways and we were able to see some dolphins which the kids loved. My wife and I went with our 11 and 8 year old and they were thrilled with it. We will DEFINITELY be adding this to our list of “must do” things every time we go, regardless of price.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review! We’re honored to be your family’s favorite thing to do in Destin—that truly means a lot to us! 😊 We’re so glad you all had a blast snorkeling, feeding the fish, and even spotting dolphins—that’s always a highlight for the kids! 🐬 It’s great to hear our captain and crew made you feel safe and comfortable and that you had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. We do appreciate your honest feedback about the shelling portion. You’re absolutely right—shell availability in our area can vary, and we’ll definitely take that into consideration as we continue to improve our tours and set expectations. Thank you again for choosing Pelican Adventures—we can’t wait to have your family back out with us again on your next trip! 🌊😊
Great experience, once again! This is our second year doing this excursion. Captain and crew are very attentive. They make sure everyone feels safe and is having fun. We had people from very young to very mature and everyone enjoyed it. Highly recommend this group and snorkeling tour.
Thank you for coming back out with us—we love our repeat guests! 😊 We’re so glad you had another great experience and that everyone, from young to young at heart, had a fun and safe time. Our captain and crew will appreciate the kind words! We truly appreciate the recommendation and can’t wait to see you again next time! 🌊🐠😊
Mark and Oliver were wonderful people to go out with. Mark the captain brings experience and Oliver is way over qualified for this position but he does it for fun and the fun and personality really shine. No matter what your ability level he has got you. And he loves kiddos. We got to see some dolphins, grab some shells and snorkel in some quiet water. What more could you want? Maybe food and drink recommendations on your way out? Ollie’s got that covered too. We hit up Beignets and Brew on our way out and that was a 10 out of 10 recommendation from our friend Ollie. You should book this tour. Good people, Good fun.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We're thrilled you had a great time with Mark and Oliver—fun, dolphins, and beignets? That’s a perfect day. Hope to see you again soon! 🌊🐬🍩
