Their most popular activities include:
Parasailing
When you choose to parasail, you can ride solo or head out with friends on the double or triple rigs. They use the highest-quality gear to take you high above the waves and provide the most incredible view you will ever see. Their trips happen every hour on the hour, giving you plenty of opportunities to take a ride. Although the memories will stay with you for life, you can commemorate your ride with their photo and video packages. They also sell t-shirts that will let everyone know about your awesome adventures.
Dolphin Tours
On their dolphin tours, you will hop on a three-seater Waverunner and race out from the Destin Marina toward where the pods hang out in the Choctawhatchee Bay. Your guide will lead you from place to place for about an hour, providing ample chances to take pictures of the dolphins and much more. Then, they will let you lead the way for about 30 minutes of free time.
Charter Fishing
If deep-sea fishing is calling your name, then sign up for a charter fishing trip. They provide the fishing license, bait, and tackle plus pilot the boat to all the best spots, so you can simply focus on reeling in the big ones. You may end up taking home grouper, snapper, and other fantastic catches — and get to see all the amazing sights of the open waters all around.
Once you decide what adventure you want to enjoy, you can give them a call to reserve your spot — or book your time online. They run seven days a week, often starting at 6:30 am to pack the whole day with fun and excitement.
Insider Tips:
– If you want to save money on your tour or watercraft rental, book an early spot. They often offer discounts to those who plan to head out at 10 am or earlier.
– Kids six and older can parasail with their parent’s permission, but they must weigh over 90 pounds. If they do not meet the weight requirement, parents can join them on a double or triple parasailing ride.
– Show up about 15 minutes early to get all the paperwork done, especially if bringing kids along for the ride as there are extra waivers to sign. On weekends, the parking lot can fill up fast, so allow even more time to find a spot or take public transportation here.
