What To Expect

The trip starts with a short ride through Destin Harbor where we can view Harborwalk Village and the Destin Bridge as we get to the East Pass where we exit the No Wake zone and get up to speed. We then make our way into the Gulf of Mexico where we begin riding the waves and start searching for Dolphins and other wildlife. We cruise the coastline and see the sights until we encounter Dolphins when we will slow down to get a better view and take pictures. Once we have hung out with the Dolphins we will continue our cruise down the coastline and riding the waves until we reenter the East Pass. At this point we will go under the Bridge and check out Crab Island before going back into the Harbor and concluding our ride. Tour is for ages 5 and up due to Coast Guard height restriction.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
