I recently booked a dolphin jet-ski tour w/ TripShock. I spoke with two different representatives on two different days. While they were both very helpful and polite, the lady I spoke w/ on the first day had a little bit of a strange personality. Not sure if she's the perfect fit for customer service. The gentleman I spoke w/ on the second day, however, was very pleasant and outgoing. They both made phone calls to attain information which saved me a lot of stress of contacting different people. All and all, it was an efficient and convenient way to book our tour. And...on the tour, after almost giving up, we saw dolphins. Bonus! Followed em' around for a bit. My kids are two and six. They loved the dolphins, but didn't care for the speed of the jet-ski. If you're wanting to get the full effect of the jet-ski, I recommend going kid-less.

This was the coolest excursion ever. We had 3 families on 5 waverunners and it was simply fantastic. I gather some are not fortunate enough to see dolphins but we saw at least 10 or more. I also saw a 5' or 6' shark swim under our waverunner which I thought was pretty cool as well but the kids didn't think so...
Overall, the best value for the money. I would do it again and again.

TripShock was very helpful with booking my activities! Very friendly and courteous! The Dolphin Tour was great also. The guide really took the time to try and find dolphins, however we actually saw more after the tour was over when we were able to take the waverunner on our own for an additional 30 min, but I think that was just coincidence. All and all everything was great!

We had a great time on this tour! This is easily the best value for waverunners in the Destin area. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins on the day we went, but I had so much fun I didn't even care! The staff were very friendly and easy to work with, they let me reschedule our trip when I got a massive sunburn with no hassle whatsoever. We will definitely visit these guys again next time we're in the area!

My family and I went on the Wave runner Dolphin Tour on spring break this year and had a great trip. We saw dolphins galore, and they where actually swimming underneath us at one point on the trip. It was a beautiful day, with the sun sunning bright, and the cool spring air made it such a pleasant day for all five of us on the trip. We highly recommend this excursion for anyone wanting to get an up close look at these graceful creatures; no other tour can match the view from a wave runner.

Great way to enjoy the sun, water and dolphins. Much better than being a a huge boat with 100 other people. Our guide was informative and took us straight to where the dolphins were. He opened up the wave runners so we were able to travel fast. After 1 1/2 hours the guide let us take the waverunners on our own in the bay. Lots of fun for us. We would recommend this company for those who are not familiar with waverunners or the location of dolphins.

Wow, what a great time we had on our dolphin tour. We were almost touching the dolphins when we drove past them. The guide was very helpful and showed us a great time. Thanks!
