    Review summary

    5.0
    Excellent
    6K reviews•Google Maps

    Travelers consistently rave about the crew's warmth and energy, with names like Captain Ben, Shawn, Hagen, and Hayden coming up repeatedly for their personable, knowledgeable approach. The dolphin sightings seem to be the real deal—guests report seeing pods of 20-50 dolphins on both sunset and snorkeling excursions. The three-hour snorkeling trips get especially high marks, with stops at the jetties and shallower spots where families hunt for hermit crabs (complete with hermit crab races that kids adore). The vibe is fun and relaxed, with music, dancing, and even opportunities for little ones to steer the boat and blow the horn. Multi-generational families have a blast here, from preschoolers to grandparents. Beyond dolphins, guests spot sea turtles, stingrays, sharks, and jellyfish while snorkeling. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase at reasonable prices, though you can bring your own. With free parking and special bar deals included, it's a solid value at $45 for three hours on the water. Regulars return year after year, which really says it all.

    🐬 Soundside Cruiser #1 Dolphin Cruise – Fort Walton Beach, FL 🌊 We went out today (Sept. 12, 2025 from 2:00–5:15 PM) and had an unforgettable time! We saw dolphins up close, even spotted a couple of sharks, and got the chance to snorkel and swim alongside fish. The crew made it fun and interactive — at one point they even had us collect hermit crabs for a little race on deck 🦀😂. The trip also included a stop at Crab Island, which was a blast, and the option to grab drinks and snacks on board for a small cost. Pro tip: hang out at the Soundside Waterfront Bar beforehand for a couple of drinks before cruising — the staff there is just as awesome as the crew on the boat. Overall, it was a perfect day for my wife and me. Between the wildlife, the snorkeling, the laughs with the guides, and the laid-back vibe, this is hands down one of the best things you can do in Fort Walton Beach. We both highly recommend it and will definitely be back! 🌅🍹
