Fort Walton Beach Dolphin Tour Safety:
If you were born on or after January 1, 1988 you MUST have a VALID boaters license to drive per Florida State Law. If you do not have a boaters license, you can take the temporary boaters safety course online here or you can take the written test on the property. We recommend taking the online test because it gives you unlimited attempts to pass, whereas the written test can only be taken once every 24 hours.
Pursuant to section 327.54, Florida Statutes, only a licensed livery operator may give safety instructions on the operation of a vessel. Due to staffing, we are unable to provide safety instruction in languages other than English at this time, nor can we permit members of the public to translate for guests. Thank you for your understanding.
Frequently Asked Questions – Dolphin Tours
Will we actually see dolphins on the tour?
While dolphin sightings are never 100% guaranteed since these are wild animals, our experienced guides know exactly where the local pods like to hang out in the Fort Walton Beach and Destin waters. We have an extremely high success rate, and most tours encounter multiple dolphins playing, feeding, and swimming alongside the jet skis.
How long is the dolphin tour?
Our guided jet ski dolphin tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours. This gives you plenty of time to cruise through the scenic waterways, search for dolphins in their natural habitat, and enjoy the beautiful emerald waters and coastal scenery of the Fort Walton Beach area.
Is the dolphin tour family-friendly?
Absolutely! Our dolphin tours are perfect for families. Children can ride as passengers on the jet ski with an adult driver, making it a wonderful shared experience. The tour is guided at a comfortable pace, so even younger children can enjoy the ride while spotting dolphins and other marine wildlife along the way.
Do I need jet ski experience for the dolphin tour?
No prior jet ski experience is needed. Before the tour begins, our guides provide a complete orientation on how to operate the jet ski safely. The tour travels at a relaxed pace with your guide leading the way, so first-time riders feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire experience.
What kind of dolphins will we see?
The dolphins you will encounter on our tours are Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, the most common species found along the Gulf Coast of Florida. These friendly and curious dolphins are known for approaching boats and jet skis, often putting on a show by jumping, surfing in the wake, and swimming right alongside you.
