  Very nice trip. We had the boat to ourselves. There were 4 of us. The kids, 8 and 10 year old boys loved the trip. We saw a lot of dolphins, some up close, we also saw eagle rays and a big turtle. The ride by Shell Island was gorgeous and we stopped to snorkel for about 10-15 minutes at the end at Shell Island. Overall, great experience. I would definitely recommend!

  We were wanting to take the kids to do an experience that would be memorable. We traveled to Destin every year in the summer and have been wanting to try new things since the kids are getting older. We have a four-year-old and a seven-year-old. I had no idea that you could swim with dolphins in the area, and when I booked it, I expected it to be in a tank of some sort. The experience actually ended up being in the open ocean with wild dolphins!! It was one of the coolest experiences, and we all had the best time! There were times that I was less than 5 feet from the dolphins! Right after, we went over and dropped anchor in front of Shell Island. At that time, we were able to freely snorkel around the boat, walk on the island and find shells to take back home. We even found a hermit crab! It was such experience for us all! The captain was super knowledgeable, and made sure that we get the best out of our experience and swimming with the dolphins. We have been recommending this trip to everyone we talked to, and we will absolutely do this excursion again!

  It is beautiful and amazing. Dolphins are quick so when the captain tells you to get on the front and tells you to get in, do it fast. It is really exciting to jump in with them and see them around you! Definitely recommend the goggles so you can see under water. Had to remind the kiddos they float with their vests and are safe, and to listen to the captain. Dale was amazing and knew everything. He's local and has done this for years. Even stopped and let us take a dip and wander she'll island beach a bit inbetween swimming with the dolphins. Very good with our youngest who wanted to sit on the front of boat seats on ride back and took waves slower for her. Highly recommend and will definitely be back someday!
