Watch for dolphins and other marine life on a two-hour Destin sunset cruise with music and coastal views.

About this tour

Set out on a Destin Sunset Dolphin Cruise and watch the Emerald Coast glow as you look for dolphins and other marine life. With Captain Daniel at the helm, the two-hour outing pairs coastal views with a lively playlist and the chance to spot wildlife along the way.

Check in at the gift shop at Gilligans Marina, then board for a relaxed cruise with USCG-approved life jackets and safety equipment provided. There is an onboard toilet and washing sink. Kids may get a chance to try the wheel when invited by the captain, while adults can settle in and enjoy the sunset scenery. Bring your own snacks or drinks if you like, but leave glass containers behind; personal coolers are allowed. You can also purchase snacks and alcohol at the gift shop before boarding.

Arrive 45 minutes early to check in, as boarding is not allowed within 10 minutes of departure. Book your Destin Sunset Dolphin Cruise for an easygoing evening on the water, with music, marine life, and sunset views.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.96 from 312 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Destin
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.1. Top 4% in Destin means it ranks in the top 4% of tours in Destin by this score.
