What a fun excursion! We rented two jet ski's for a family of 3, and it was just us and the tour guide, Derek. After giving us instructions on jet ski operation, we shoved off and practiced a bit outside the launch area and then the guide led the way. We traveled from the launch/marina over past crab island and the guide immediately spotted some dolphins which we gently followed for a bit before he led us through the pass into the gulf. We had smooth seas or we may not have had the opportunity to ski the gulf. Once beyond the pass we cruised west of the pass and had no luck so he led us across the pass to the east of the inlnet and there we found several dolphins. Also spied a large shark cruising the bottom! We traveled a little farther east and found a group of dolphins frolicking in the surf - probably half a dozen. The dolphins were active and we were in their midst when a pair jumped out of the water right across the bow of the guide's jet ski! What a memorable experience, not only to see the dolphins in the wild but to cruise the open gulf! Highly recommend this experience. In fact, while waiting for the guide before launch, two of the attendants asked who we were waiting on and both commented how much they enjoy doing the dolphin tours. Easily my favorite experience of our trip to Destin/Fort Walton.
