About this tour

Set out as the sun lowers over the water on a Destin Sunset Dolphin Cruise, where harbor views, lively music, and a search for wild dolphins make a memorable outing for families. The 120-minute cruise begins with a narrated tour of Destin Harbor, then heads past Crab Island toward Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf in search of marine life.

Keep watch for dolphins playing in their natural habitat. Sightings are guaranteed; if none appear, you’ll receive complimentary tickets for a future cruise. Complimentary soda and water keep everyone refreshed, while adults can enjoy up to two complimentary beers or wines each. There’s upbeat music on board, and children can take a turn at the captain’s helm.

Plan to arrive at the booth at least 45 minutes before departure, with waivers signed before check-in. Choose a Destin Sunset Dolphin Cruise for an easygoing evening on the water, with harbor scenery and a lively crew along the way.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.99 from 91 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 8.9. Top 5% in Destin means it ranks in the top 5% of tours in Destin by this score.
