The steak was amazing and tender. The grouper, crab bites and twice baked potatoes were delicious! We will definitely be back!“

“Fun place for kids (if your kids want to wain about 1-1 1/2 hours) good food. The kids meals come with a bucket and shovel. We waited outside and the adults can have a drink while they wait because there is a bar. Good walking distance from Destiny By The Sea. On the way back we caught sand crabs on the beach. (we walked back on the beach) I have also been to the one in Pensacola Florida and it deserves the same amount of stars.

Also, since she knew it was our first visit, she was very helpful in making some recommendations. The croutons on the salad are really good. I ĥad Màhi fish plate and my husband had a "twisted Quigley or something" and a bowl of gumbo, which he said was really good. A little pricey but worth it, as a nice atmosphere and great service go along way. For the non-Sports Bar kind there is a quieter section!“

“If you’re anywhere near the coast and wondering whether this dolphin cruise is worth it, stop wondering and just go. It was an absolute blast from start to finish.

We saw so many dolphins. They were playful, graceful, and swimming so close to the boat you could practically hear them say hi. 🐬💦 It felt like a real-life nature documentary. The crew was friendly, funny, and full of fun facts. The views of the sparkling ocean were just breathtaking.

The breeze on the water was refreshing, the ride was smooth, and there were plenty of perfect photo ops. Hello, Instagram-worthy moments. 📸 I especially appreciated how the crew made sure everyone had a good view. Even my 5-year-old was squealing with joy.

Pros
✔️ Tons of dolphins. Like, seriously a lot.
✔️ Beautiful ocean scenery
✔️ Cool sea breeze that feels amazing on a hot day
✔️ Smooth ride with comfy seating
✔️ Friendly and knowledgeable crew
✔️ Perfect for making core memories with the family 💖

Cons
Just one. The 1 hour and 30 minutes felt a bit long for my little one. I recommend bringing snacks or small toys to keep kids entertained toward the end.

Overall, this cruise was a magical experience that we’ll be talking about for a long time. I would totally go again. 🛳️✨“
