We really enjoyed the aquarium!  My favorite part was the dolphin and sea lion shows!

Miss

Was very pleased with all the shows and the staff was very nice.  Great place to visit,  definitely worth going to.

Loads of fun

Great snorkeling experience; even caught a fish to show the kids. Fish came right up and ate from their fingertips. Experienced dolphins surfing behind the boat…. No words besides breathtaking! Great crew and the kids loved driving the boat. Thanks again for such great memories!

We had a great time! Spencer and the captain did a great job! They were very enthusiastic and informative. We saw a lot of dolphins, and the skies and sunset were spectacular. We were glad that we were on this cruise with fewer people and not on one if the bigger boats we saw with so many people! We were able to move around easily. We will do this again when we are back in Ft Walton with family! Thank you!

Visitor

We had such a nice time on the cruise. It was exciting to see the dolphins swimming together and the sunset was just beautiful!

We got so many great pics and my 3 yr old loved it. We will be back highly recommend

It was a great show! I am not sure the VIP experience was worth the extra money spent, they included their daughter in the show which was so cute. If we had brought our children they would have loved it. Other reviews are correct that there are sales pitches throughout the show- we didn’t mind really.  Would see again. Very interactive with the audience.

The crew was great. We loved the floats provided and had a great time at crab island.

Very fun!

This was a fun trip! The experience of everyone going out there to play in the water was fun. Misunderstood the wording when I booked, you can buy alcohol while riding on the boat before you get there. Just not once you are there unless you already open a tab. Everyone was friendly and it was fun to check out the “General Store” while you are out there. You are paying to go play in a couple of feet of water with boats all around you. Watch out for anchors or their ropes. Overall fun experience.

Crab Island

The ride was ok,there was nothing to do once we made it there,the reef burgers where ok,the fries were horrible and the music on the boat should have been a mixture
