My husband and I were visiting from AR and came across the site for the Dolphin Cruise so we booked it. The crew went above and beyond from the moment we bought tickets: they answered questions I had about the cruise, called us to ensure we weren’t going to miss the boarding, and kept us feeling safe and comfortable on the cruise. Hearing the Captain’s knowledge of the area was great and you could tell how passionate he was about the cruise. 10/10 and we will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for leaving us this wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing time and received excellent customer service from our staff. We can't wait to see you again the next time you visit Destin!

A staple for the Emerald Coast!

The dolphin cruise was so amazing!! We saw a lot of dolphins and the crew were all so informative and genuinely kind and seem to really enjoy their careers!  We actually got an extra adventure as the end of our cruise the rain was coming down hard! The Captain offered everyone a “make up” cruise even though we saw a lot of dolphins but had to end just 30 minutes early!! Super appreciative but I will be happy to pay again! My daughter and I had the best time!! Thank you for making our experience the absolute best!!!!

Thank you for the kind review! We're so glad to hear you had an amazing time on our sunset dolphin cruise even with the rain cutting the trip short. We hope you’ll take advantage of the raincheck and join us again for another great cruise!

Amazing Adventure

Tour guy was super awesome ans very knowledgeable about the area. He made sure we seen dolphins and when they was behind us he circled back around to make sure every one got to see them. It was a great experience!!

We're thrilled to hear you had an excellent experience with our Captain aboard the Southern Star! Thank you for leaving us this wonderful review and for choosing to cruise with us!

Excellent

Thanks for recommending us! It was our pleasure having you aboard the Southern Star!

Great adventure

Captain took us into a storm with strong winds and heavy rains then docked and dumped us off in torrential rains thanks a lot dude.

We’re sorry to hear the weather impacted your experience with us. Our captain makes safety-based decisions before each trip, and while we can operate in light rain, conditions can change quickly. We were able to cruise for about an hour of the 1.5-hour trip before heavy rain rolled in. For everyone’s safety, the captain returned early and offered rainchecks to all guests aboard. We hope you’ll take advantage of the raincheck and join us again on a clearer day.

Bad decisions

We had a terrific experience!  Beautiful weather and lots of Dolphins - adults and a couple of babies!  Our captain was GREAT - very knowledgeable and experienced at pointing out the Dolphins.  What a wonderful trip!  We hesitated about going and are truly glad we did!

We had such a wonderful time on our dolphin cruise. We were able to spot lots of dolphins as well as some other sealife along the trip. My children really got a kick out of feeding the birds from the side of the boat. The entire staff was not only entertaining but also very personable. The captain even allowed our children to take a photo in the Captain's seat at the end. Thank you to the wonderful staff who made our boat ride very memorable.

Dolphins in the bay

My family and I had a wonderful time. The captain was super fun and informative. The best boat ride we have been on. My 67 year old mom wanted to go again the following day, that’s how much fun she had. We had little ones as well with us and the captain lets them drive for about a minute on our way back. It was an awesome experience. We got to see the dolphins up close as well.

Review

Our cruise with **Southern Star Dolphin Cruises** was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made us feel welcome with their warm, friendly energy. They weren’t just guides—they were entertainers, ensuring every guest had a fantastic experience.  

The highlight, of course, was the dolphins! We saw so many, and thanks to the keen eyes of our captain, no one missed out. He expertly maneuvered the boat to ensure everyone had the best view, making the experience even more incredible. The joy of seeing dolphins playing in their natural habitat, with the sun glistening on the water, made for a truly unforgettable moment.  

This cruise isn’t just a ride—it’s a memory-maker. If you're looking for a fun, scenic, and interactive way to enjoy Destin’s waters, **Southern Star Dolphin Cruises is a must!

An unforgettable Dolphin cruise aboard the Southern Star

We had a wonderful family experience on Southern Star. It was clean and welcoming, easy to move about. The captain spoke to us throughout the trip letting us know what was going on. We saw tons of dolphins, it was really incredible. There were snacks and drinks on board, everyone had a really good time. We had two young children who had a great time as well, highly recommend.

I was so very impressed with how friendly and helpful everyone was.   My guide made the experience a personal one.   Very engaging  I would recommend them each and every time. 
Thank you for a wonderful birthday experience

Dolphin tour

We had a great time and saw lots of marine life in addition to the dolphins! Our guide took us to a few places to make sure we got the best views. The water was a little choppy with so many large vessels weaving in and around though. We did see a bull shark which was a little nerve wrecking so if you aren’t prepared to potentially fall in the water knowing the marine life present, maybe this isn’t for you. Would recommend, all guides seemed very knowledgeable

Beautiful waters!

All staff was awesome.  Did the 9am adventure, and it did not disappoint.  We saw some dolphins.  Loves those little swimmers.
