Description

Our dolphin and snorkel trip is the best on the Emerald Coast. As locals and veterans of the area we love sharing our beautiful Emerald Coast with everyone who comes to our area. While enjoying a cruise out to our favorite spot you'll see local wildlife and marine animals. Once we get to our crystal clear snorkeling spot you'll be able to hop in the warm waters of Choctawhatchee Bay and enjoy searching for seashells and colorful tropical fish along with the occasional sea turtle. After spending a hour here you'll get back on our beautiful catamaran and head back to your starting point.

Must Do!

It's a lot of fun! We saw dolphins while out, the captain is very knowledgeable about the area and they're a very laid back crew!

Not sure Destin is the best place to snorkel

I don't think this should be marketed as a snorkeling tour. The tour made two stops. One was a public swimming beach that was very crowded. The water at both spots was dark. The second stop was better from a crowd perspective. We did see some dolphins and the stop near Crab Island was fun. If your focus is good snorkeling, this isn't the trip.

Fun, but not “real” snorkeling

Check in process was easy! Location and directions they sent were perfect even with construction. Fun little tiki hut to hang out at before getting on the boat. Our captain was very casual and laid back. The dolphin portion was AMAZING. Only thing we were bummed about was the “snorkeling” portion. I’m not sure if it’s because of the storm that blew a few days before but the area they took us to was felt like swimming in a lake…. Not a pretty one. It was very hard to see the fish, very murky and small fish. This is NOT like snorkeling in Mexico or Turks. BUT, we had fun and made most of it.

Best excursion

It was great! The guides were awesome! We had ages from 59-7 and it was great for everyone. The water wasn’t as clear as normal but had a tropical storm going for several days before we went.

5 star experience

A fun experience that is family friendly! They had some yummy snacks and drinks on the boat! All you really need to bring is your own phone case water protection if you’re wanting pics in the water and a towel, they’ve got everything else covered!

Had a good time.

We had a good time. The ride and the hostesses were very nice and accommodating. Parking was a little difficult to understand. But other then that we would do again next year.

The captin and first mate...

The captin and first mate were kind and informative, we saw plenty of dolphins during the boat ride. During the snorkeling portion of the experience we saw fish, crabs, and a seahorse despite the water being yellow and cloudy. The website claimed that bottle water was included but only cups of water were available. Over all the excursions was fun.
