Great trip - Great time and boat was big enough and had bathroom accessibility so was a bonus for having a toddler. Saw plenty of dolphins so no issues with that either.

Dolphin Searching in Destin - We had a wonderful time, we saw way more Dolphins than I thought we would see. Feeding the seagulls on the back of the boat was an added plus.

A Day on the water with dolphins! We always wanted to do this & we were not disappointed. Great tour! - We were looking forward to taking a boat ride & seeing dolphins! We were very happy on the boat. The Captain did a great tour & told us which side the dolphins were on..we saw a baby dolphin & lots of dolphin pods. Great tour! Captain was very knowledgeable about the area & the shades of the water. The crew was very nice. Loved the picture & was very surprised to see it online! We wish to thank everyone for an awesome day!

Fun dolphin tour - Great experience. They found multiple dolphin pots, and constantly communicated their location relative to the boat deck, so we could move around the boat to see them.
