Great experience and great value on the dolphin tour! Captain Hal and Daniel kept the tour fun and interesting all the way through and made everyone feel welcome and appreciated. Good music was played and at a reasonable volume for listening but not being too loud to distract from viewing or socializing. Captain quickly found dolphins and positioned the boat for a great view of the sunset for picture taking, which the first mate assisted with so groups could have everyone in their shots. Alcohol can be purchased from a nearby bar and taken on the boat.

This was so much fun!!!! We rented the boat for a full day for $300. This is a little pricey but worth it. Especially considering the peak season rate. We took 8 children and 4 adults and we had plenty of room. The kids loved crab island and the trampoline park and the adults got a little bit of peace while they played. We plan on making this an annual trip! Highly recommend this adventure.

Captain Hal and Daniel did a fantastic job on our dolphin tour! They created an immersive and friendly environment on board. I liked that Captain Hal took us out to the gulf to see the dolphins, and made us feel safe with his professional handling of the boat! Id also like to thank Daniel for taking great pictures of everyone on board during sunset. I highly recommend this cruise for everyone visiting Destin.

Captain Hal and Daniel were amazing. We took the 3 hour Crab Island excursion tour out of Destin & had a great time. They were on time, professional. Once we got to crab island, Captain Hal blew up all 20 of our floats. Daniel helped us all into the water and throughout our time at crab island was so accommodating taking photos, handing us drinks off the boat, anything we asked! We had so much fun & everyone said this was the highlight of our trip to Destin.

Had a great time with Grant and Larry. They tell you it takes 25 mins to get to crab island but it only takes 5-10. If you bring floaties theyll inflate them for you. Also, bring cash to tip and for other rentals the have (jet skis, paddle board, kayak) and food. Bring your own alcohol!

I highly recommend the dolphin tour to anyone visiting Destin! Captain Hal and his first mate did an excellent job. We were able to spot several dolphins and even watch one of the most beautiful sunsets of our trip. We had a great time!

Horrible service! Save your money and go to another excursion. I had a reservation and sun ventures never called to let me know they canceled the morning of bc of “technical difficulties.” I understand if you don’t have enough people to go but to not even call?? Very unprofessional. Refunds take 10 days.I asked to speak with a manager and “no one available.”Found another place that was absolutely wonderful and very accommodating.

Nothing to do! NOTHING!No kid activities. No kid attraction. 2 floating food shacks and 1 “general store”. No kayaking. NO FLOATING BARS! Alcohol hasn’t been sold there for years (according to locals). Complete waste of time and money!The only good thing about all of this was the boat ride of maybe 20min there and back. Not going back. It was 10 of us...10/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

I recently booked a dolphin cruise for September 20th. Sunventure contacted us a hour before the cruise and canceled the cruise. They said I could get a refund for the cruise which I have yet to receive! When called and questioned about my refund they keep saying 5-7 Business days which have come and gone still no refund. I am very disappointed and I would not recommend using this company. They are very unprofessional liars and they will steal your money. Then after posting this review they went back in my account and charged me again for a cruise I did not go on. I am going to sue them for fraud because I have proof and my bank statements dont lie.DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!

The boat was full and we had to wait for last minute stragglers arriving late! I did not expect the boat to be so crowded considering the virus out there. Basically it was just a trip out to the island to hang out for a bit and then back. I was not impressed.

Absolutely outstanding! Sunventure 2 Captain Hal and First mate nick was absolutely incredible! Very informative, anyone who has never been in the ocean or is nervous they make you feel very comfortable! They tend to their customers very well! Whether its needing a towel, drink or photos they are more than willing to help. Ive been in Florida 2 weeks for vacation and this is most definitely the highlight of my trip. Also its not guaranteed but we were lucky to be surrounded in dolphins. If you are looking into going to crab island I would definitely suggest them! I will be back next month in August and already have booked 2 more trips with them. Also if you forget snacks they sell them onboard for $2. They deserve beyond 5 stars!

Too many people on this boat. Everyone was shoulder to shoulder then we just went in the same circle for 2 hours waiting on the fireworks.

When we were due to go to Crab Island on Sunday which would have been the 6th of September at 1:30 p.m. but due to the traffic and in a car accident coming out of Fort Walton Beach to Destin Beach we were left behind but we would have been there on time dude that problem we wasnt even giving back any of the money back to us but even though I read the cancellation policy just think that they didnt take in consideration that there was an accident and the traffic was held up and plus the guy that called us to see if we were coming he was very rude...

Crew were good but 250 for 5 minute ride then paying for one inflatable course for 3 with all the jellyfish a complete waste of money. I would like a full refund. Awful experience for family of 5 and all on the boat. Sorry they knew the jelly fish were bad stop the boats when they are. The worst trip for my family ever.

Review №20

Horrible. Would never recommend this place at all. Spent over $100 to just sit on a boat, was unaware that we would be in a area covered in jelly fish.Biggest waste of my time. The co captain even said “ oh well.” And she was also making personal calls while we waited for her service. She kept getting upset that the children were too scared to get into the water due to the high volume of jelly fish. I mean what do you expect lady? And I’m sure with all the children on board they just didn’t care for our group they weren’t speaking to our group at all.Biggest mistake. Do not even waste your money on this trip at all.

Booked by phone with Cynthia and she was awesome with information! She was very helpful with directions and had plenty of answers to all my questions. I received a confirmation email when I booked and also the day of my trip! My advice for this tour: BE ON TIME! Traffic in Destin is bad, plan to leave your condo an hour earlier than normal so you have time to get there. Also, bring cash if you want to use it for things at Crab Island. Most places and things dont take cards. There is no alcohol for sale at CI anymore and youre allowed to BYOB on this boat, just no glass. Capt Lowry and Deckhand Mark were awesome! So fun to talk to made sure everyone had a great time. Snacks and drinks on the boat (water, soda, etc) were $2 each, cash. You can also rent a paddleboard or kayak frm them to try out around CI! Our trip was a ton of fun and so much cheaper and safer than renting our own boat. Thank you Cynthia, Capt Lowry and Mark for a great time! We will be back!

Our family took the 10 to 1 trip... basically they took us there and dropped off boat and walked around .. we felt that 163.00 for three hours then 10minute boat ride back and drop off was pricey compared to other excursions we did that week. Nice crew but over priced ...

The Emerald Coast Parrothead Club chartered the boat for a trip to Crab Island. It was an AWESOME day!!! Captain Larry and First Mate Joe provided humor, assisted with photos and even made sure we saw a few dolphins at the end of a perfect day. If you are looking for a fun day on the water, book with this great business.

The captain and crew was amazing. This was my first time to destin and crab island. The trip was for my birthday and it was the best time ever. I can not wait to go back. This is a must for all ages to try at least once. Very kid and adult friendly place to go.

Loved this island!!! U cannot miss It:)We took a crab island excursion on Monday, July 3rd with sunventures pontoon. It was so convenient and affordable. The captain and the crew were so friendly. And the island was so amazing... we spend 3 hours there but felt like spending the whole day! Its a must visit if you are planning for destin.
