Description

Join us for the exceptional Sunset Cruise and dolphin-watching excursion aboard the Hydrojet, which features a breathtaking tour of Destin Harbor and navigates the East Pass. Upon entering the Gulf, acceleration will occur. As we traverse the beach to the east on the Hydrojet, our crew will remain vigilant for various marine species, including dolphins, sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, manatees, and whales. When marine life is located, we will pause to facilitate photography and videography. On days with choppy waters, wave jumping will be engaged, and splashing may occur. Please remember to express appreciation for the crew's diligent efforts by providing a gratuity, as they strive to create an unforgettable experience.

Great experience on the excursion. Was a beautiful weekend in Destin. We saw quite a few dolphins and enjoyed a few high speed bumps/waves in the water. I would suggest having a QR code to tip the crew as many do not carry wallets or purses on the excursion. Definitely worth the money if you are looking for something to do while near HarborWalk.

Operator response

Thank you for the great review, TMack82! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time aboard the Hydrojet and got to see plenty of dolphins during your Destin weekend getaway. The high-speed waves are always a guest favorite! We also appreciate your suggestion about adding a QR code tipping option for the crew — that’s very helpful feedback and something we’ll definitely consider to make the experience even more convenient for our guests. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you back in Destin for another adventure soon!

I couldn't participate and they didn't reply my message because I got the wrong place and tried to cancel before the time s

Not paying in advance in my case I was in St. Augustine and booked destiny and when I tried to cancel before the hour I was not allowed to lose my money was very frustrating because it was my birthday

Operator response

Gracias por compartir sus comentarios. Lamentamos mucho su experiencia, especialmente el día de su cumpleaños. Entendemos lo frustrante que puede ser darse cuenta de que una reserva se realizó en la ubicación incorrecta. Nuestro equipo recibió su mensaje; sin embargo, se envió solo 26 minutos antes de la salida, lo cual, lamentablemente, está fuera del plazo de cancelación de 24 horas requerido para reembolsos o cambios. Debido a esto, no pudimos cancelar ni reembolsar la reserva en ese momento. Siempre recomendamos a los huéspedes que se pongan en contacto con nosotros lo antes posible para que podamos ayudarles con las correcciones o la reprogramación cuando la disponibilidad lo permita. Lamentamos mucho no haber podido atender su solicitud en esta ocasión y esperamos que considere darnos otra oportunidad en el futuro. Atentamente, Gerencia de Hydrojet Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, especially on your birthday. We understand how frustrating it can be to realize a reservation was made in the wrong location. Our team did receive your message; however, it was sent only 26 minutes before departure, which is unfortunately outside of our 24-hour cancellation window required for refunds or changes. Because of this, we were unable to cancel or refund the booking at that time. We always encourage guests to reach out as early as possible so we can assist with corrections or rescheduling whenever availability allows. We truly regret that we couldn’t accommodate your request on this occasion, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future. Warm regards, Hydrojet Management
