Super fun!

Super fun adventure! We never drove the jet ski before, but it was so easy. The guide navigated us around the storm, and we still were able to see dolphins - and get to them so close. Amazing pictures and videos of the experience, highly recommended - one of the best experiences we had in Destin!

Memorable experience!

What a fun excursion! We rented two jet ski's for a family of 3, and it was just us and the tour guide, Derek. After giving us instructions on jet ski operation, we shoved off and practiced a bit outside the launch area and then the guide led the way. We traveled from the launch/marina over past crab island and the guide immediately spotted some dolphins which we gently followed for a bit before he led us through the pass into the gulf. We had smooth seas or we may not have had the opportunity to ski the gulf. Once beyond the pass we cruised west of the pass and had no luck so he led us across the pass to the east of the inlnet and there we found several dolphins. Also spied a large shark cruising the bottom! We traveled a little farther east and found a group of dolphins frolicking in the surf - probably half a dozen. The dolphins were active and we were in their midst when a pair jumped out of the water right across the bow of the guide's jet ski! What a memorable experience, not only to see the dolphins in the wild but to cruise the open gulf! Highly recommend this experience. In fact, while waiting for the guide before launch, two of the attendants asked who we were waiting on and both commented how much they enjoy doing the dolphin tours. Easily my favorite experience of our trip to Destin/Fort Walton.

Worth every cent

This is the perfect and only way to rent jet skis. Not only do you get to drive them all around the gulf with a guide, but you always get the opportunity to have some dolphin sightings. Our guide was great, there will be several opportunities to go top speed if that is what you’re looking for. It was just a beautiful experience all around. The value is top notch.

Jet skis dolphin tour

This was a great experience! My friend and I loved it! The staff were all friendly and I tour guide was very patient with us. They give good instructions on how to use the jet skis and are very helpful during the process. We did the guided tour so someone could be there with us since it was our first time. I highly recommend doing the guided tour they take you all over crab island and it is worth it. Not sure what our tour guides name was, all I remember is he is the manager there. He was very good and made us comfortable. Would recommend this to anyone.

So glad you choose our dolphin tour! We love being able to see our local wildlife! We look forward to seeing you again!
