Frequently Asked Questions: Dolphin Cruises and Tours

1. Are we guaranteed to see dolphins?

2. Do dolphin cruises go out into the Gulf of Mexico?

Most Destin dolphin cruises and tours will venture out into the Gulf of Mexico, if weather conditions allow. If circumstances prohibit the cruise from making it out into the Gulf, like rough seas, high winds, etc., then the search for dolphins will continue in the beautiful and calm waters of the Choctawhatchee Bay!

No matter which dolphin cruise you select, or departure time you book, there is still a near 100% chance of seeing fun and playful dolphins! Daytime tours are a great way to see not just dolphins, but also the sights of the city, while evening cruises are a great way to see Flipper, his closest friends, and a breathtaking sunset!

4. Are dolphin cruises handicap accessible?

Most Destin dolphin cruises and tours are handicap accessible to an extent. If you are in need of handicap services, it is recommended to book over the phone with a customer service representative, as they will be able to find a cruise suitable for your specific needs.

5. Are dolphin cruises family friendly?

From little kids to the kids at heart, the whole family will love a Destin dolphin cruise!
