Things to Know About Destin Jet ski Dolphin Tours
We have daily guided dolphin tours on waverunners / jet skis. We runs Destin Jet Ski Dolphin Tours all throughout the day (last one is at 5). This is a very popular tour. Each waverunner seats up to 2 people but cannot exceed total weight of 400 lbs. All drivers must have a photo ID and major credit card.
We have been doing this for years and are very successful at finding dolphins but we cannot guarantee that we will find them everytime. You may not feed and/or approach dolphins in the water.
Advanced reservations are required so we know how many guides to schedule. We have a 24 hour cancellation policy or you will be charged the full amount.
Go with one of our guides and see wild Atlantic bottlenose dolphins up close and in their natural habitat. Hear the sounds they make and see how much fun they have playing! We have been doing this for years and are very successful at finding dolphins. Our find rate is over 95%. But there are no guarantees.
