Cruise from Destin Harbor into the Gulf to spot wild dolphins, enjoy free drinks, and take in emerald-water views aboard the Sea Blaster.
About this tour
Set out from Destin Harbor for a lively cruise along Florida’s emerald coastline, with the chance to spot wild bottlenose dolphins in the Gulf. Aboard the Sea Blaster, enjoy open-water views, refreshing drinks, and a splash of fun along the way.
Your trip begins with a scenic 15- to 20-minute ride through Destin Harbor, past its waterfront and marina. Then head into the Gulf as the crew searches for dolphins and shares local knowledge about the wildlife. Keep watch across the water, take in the sea air, and enjoy free beverages on board. During summer, a water cannon activity adds extra fun. Children may also get a memorable turn at the helm as honorary captain.
The cruise returns to its original departure point in Destin Harbor, leaving you close to the waterfront for the rest of your day. Dolphin sightings are likely but not guaranteed, so bring your camera, sun protection, and clothes you don’t mind getting wet. Book your Destin Dolphin Sightseeing Cruise for a refreshing way to experience the coast.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide 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 7.5. Top 27% in Destin means it ranks in the top 27% of tours in Destin by this score.
