How to Marvel at the Dolphins on 30A

What to know about 30a dolphins.

Do you know that dolphins are some of the friendliest creatures? Brighten your 30A stay by visiting them! They can be spotted in the waters of our beaches, including South Walton, Miramar Beach, Inlet Beach, and more. They can best be seen between May and August when the females come closer to the shoreline to mate.

Note that even though dolphins are friendly, it is strictly forbidden to touch them! Fines are in place to preserve the dolphin population and their habitat.

OVER 1,500 5-STAR REVIEWS ON TRIPADVISOR!

High recommend this cruise. Amazing experience. The captain was very informative and quite humorous. We all enjoyed it so much. Saw so many dolphins, jellyfish and a shark. Well worth the money!!! Will definitely do this cruise again the next time that we are in Destin.

My trip to Destin Florida was really good. We took sometime to do the dolphin cruise. It was so much fun spotting them. The cruise was very relaxing, and the captain made the trip really fun. Would definately recommend!

We scheduled this as a surprise for my best friend’s birthday. She loves dolphins, so I was really hoping we would actually see some. Jason was really fun and made it interesting. The water was a bit choppy, but that was fun too. We finally found a whole family of dolphins, with a baby and we had so much with them! It was a great time.

We always do this cruise whenever we come to Destin area. It's always a great time and I can't say enough about the staff. Super friendly and attentive. This trip we saw more dolphins than we have in years past. Fun for the whole family!

Our family of three enjoyed the cruise, Destin is beautiful when your on the boat you get to really see it’s water. We did see a couple dolphins and fed some of the birds. They have refreshments on board if you’d like to drink and captain hats that my son fell in love with. At the end they gave my son a small treasure. It’s a great way to end the evening watching the sunset on the cruise.

This was our 2nd dolphin cruise with Southern Star. Per usual it did not disappoint! The captain was super knowledgeable and told us all about the bay’s history as we toured the bay. He also knew exactly where to find the dolphins and made sure everyone got a good view! It was just fantastic!

This was my family's first dolphin sighting cruise and it did not disappoint. We had a charming captain and he made sure we learned the history of the area as well as saw dolphins, manta rays, all kinds of jelly fish, and sharks! The beautiful waters made it easy to see in and the size of the boat was perfect! Would recommend to anyone.

This was the highlight of our trip!! My 3 year old and I had a blast! The captain was on mission to find us some dolphins, and he found us 12-15 sharks too!! Such an amazing time. So glad we chose this tour!!

Unlike the larger tour boats that carry up to 150 people, Blue Dolphin Tours carries only 6 passengers (children included). We can have you in the water with your snorkel gear on quickly and without all the splashing and disruptions that large groups create, often frightening the dolphins away. We have 5 identical boats for larger groups, up to 30 persons limited to 6 per boat. We also have two new Large Family Cruisers that will accomodate up to 15 passengers per boat.  Sorry no pets allowed on boats.
