Captain Cody and Lacey... - Captain Cody and Lacey were great! We saw tons of dolphins and my two kids (5 and 2) had a blast. If your kids like jokes and to go fast, this cruise is for you!

Super fun mini-excursion! - Really fun ride on the speedboat and the guide took us to several spots to see pods of dolphins as well as a few sharks and stingrays. Having a cover on the boat was essential on a very hot day. Highly recommend for a fun excursion!

Run in with a shark! So cool! - We went out to see dolphins and saw some, which was cool, but the BEST part was when a shark came up and rammed into our boat. We were never in danger, it wasn’t Jaws, but it was amazing! It was my mom’s favorite part of our whole Florida vacation.

Fun, but a little annoyed - When we originally booked it was for an afternoon slot for a birthday lunch, but that morning we were called and rescheduled for the next day because there wasn’t enough people on that time apparently. So we got a new time and showed up the 20 minutes early only to have to wait about 15-20 minutes after the departure time for the boat to show up. Okay, I understand things happen, but because they were late to pick us up, our trip was cut about 15-20 minutes short when we pay for a full hour. I figured they would keep us out on the water a little longer to make up for that, but they still brought us in after 45 minutes. The boat was fun and we saw some dolphins, but I was still a little bitter that I paid for an hour, was rescheduled, and then they were late and cut our trip short because it was the last one of the night. Just thought they could do better with that and at least acknowledge or apologize for their tardiness.

Don’t recommend this adventure in Destin Florida - Crew was friendly, ride started on time and we did see two pairs of dolphins during the hour trip. However, the boat had engine trouble half way through the trip so we turned around and idled back to dock. Can’t say this was a thrill trip as advertised. No refund was offered and they still asked for a tip. Would not recommend.
