Dolphin Cruises
The 1.5 hr Sunventure Dolphin Cruise was just what we were looking for! It was a nice boat ride out to the Destin Harbor and then under the bridge to the bay. The boat was clean and we felt safe. Captain Morgan and Chris were great hosts! They were knowledge about where we would see dolphins. We were able to see a huge pod of them playing in the waves of a shrimp boat. The pod included babies and they were so cute! Captain Morgan was very respectful of other boat’s captains and knew them by name. It allowed us to have a fun and relaxing evening!
