Great time no extra charges for nets or up sale - Great time and feeding fish for the first time was great idea. We were cutting it short on time so the parking for an extra twenty was well worth it.

Beautiful and much fun! - Was first time we went snorkeling and enjoyed it very much. We changed to the earliest time due to their recommendation about the tides that day and so glad we did..the weather perfect, the waters clear..saw a lot of fish, crabs, shells..Best part was feeding them the frozen peas..too cool. Boat ride a bonus as saw dolphins along the way. Great experience, well worth doing!

Great time - I took my wife and three daughters snorkeling for the first time on the two stop trip and it was great. The first stop was a little murky do to the tropical storm that came through the day before (not Pelicans fault) but the second stop did not disappoint. We were able to collect several cool shells and see a lot of small marine life. The crew was fantastic and I would recommend this to anyone, especially if you have small children.

such fun trip! - This was my daughter's first time snorkeling. We had so much fun. Captain Georgiana was awesome. She and her crew did everything they could to make the experience fun. I knew the snorkeling would be fun, but I didn't expect the seashell hunting to be so fun. That also was a sorkeling activity, just w/o the fins. I highly recommend this activity to others!

We saw Dory! It was a great day! VERY family friendly - Great trip! Brought our 4 yr old out for her first time snorkeling. We chose to do the 2 stop trip because we wanted some variety and it did not disappoint! My first suggestion is to plan ahead for traffic bc Destin traffic is awful...my second suggestion is to go in the morning because the water clarity is much better than the afternoon. We actually went back in the afternoon to the same spots two days in a row on our own and it just wasn't as clear due to all the boat traffic and stuff. Anyways, Capt Georgina and her crew guys Ayden and Waylon were really nice. The snorkel gear is all included and they do show you how to use it. They also have nets, noodles and life jackets of all sizes. The first stop for the snorkel was near the jetties. This was a pretty busy spot as it's very popular to hang out there. That's where we saw Dory swimming around the jetty rocks. It was cool. The second stop was over in the grass beds by Crab Island. Our whole boat found some amazing shells and had a great time! It's VERY family friendly and reasonably priced for the area. Our daughter loved it!

Destin Florida, Good for tourists and retired folks. - My opinion is Destin is a busy, fast paced tourist/retirement community. I went off season and the people I met were friendly. Mile after mile of condos and beautiful houses. There are many nice restaurants. The beaches are beautiful white sand and stretch on forever with beautiful sunsets. Be cautious around the water (4' waves and rip tides) I enjoyed the Harbor walk a lot and the different sized boats for fishing or excursions. Shopping is an experience as everywhere is busy.

Not a Worth while experience - Don't waste your money. I took my kids on this 2 stops snorkeling tour ($78 each) and it is the worst snorkeling experience I ever had. First, the crews are nice so it is not the fault of the crew. The problem is there is nothing to see. it was a 10 minutes boat ride from the harbor to the other side of the sand dunes. We get to snorkel in an area that is about waist deep by the rock of about 10 ft x 20 ft, where you could just walk out from the beach and do the same thing without paying $78/each. There were some small fishes but again, nothing you couldn't see if you were already on the same beach area. The second stop was supposed to be for shelling, but the area is even worst. The water was murky because of the sea weed / sea grass that has been kicked up by other swimmers and tour boats. It was an absolute disappointing experience for the kids. There were ZERO shells to be pick which is what all kids want to do and this stop and trip gave nothing of the sort. The couple dozen shells we saw were of live crabs or hermit crabs which we aren't suppose to take home and that is understandable. I feel bad and sorry for the crew but this is just not worth the money or experience.
