Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where do dolphin cruises take place?

Depending on the charter you select, dolphin cruises will take place in either the Choctawhatchee Bay or the Gulf of Mexico. Aside from the charter company, this also depends on other factors like the weather. If the weather or waves are too rough to create a pleasant experience in the Gulf, then cruises will take place in the calm waters of the bay.

2. Where do dolphin cruises depart from?

The closest dolphin cruises to Santa Rosa Beach-Seaside will take place in Miramar Beach, Destin, or Fort Walton Beach. Santa Rosa Beach, depending on where you are staying, is about 10 miles from Miramar Beach, 20 miles from Destin, and about 25 miles from Fort Walton Beach. Please consider traffic when planning out travel time, as it can be hectic during the spring and summer.

3. Are dolphin sightings guaranteed?

Dolphin sightings are not guaranteed, as they are wild animals, but it’s highly unlikely to leave a Santa Rosa Beach dolphin cruise without spotting one!

4. Will I get seasick?

Most people do not get sick on dolphin cruises, but this will vary from person to person. While dolphin cruises can venture out into the Gulf of Mexico, they do not go in deep enough waters to cause motion sickness symptoms. With that being said, if you are prone to motion sickness, it couldn’t hurt to take precautions. Taking motion sickness medicine before your cruise is a great way to be prepared!

5. Are dolphin cruises kid friendly?

Absolutely! Kids love dolphin cruises, as they get to see Flipper and friends up-close-and-personal! Not only that, many dolphin cruises are designed with the little ones in mind. Some even offer water guns, music and dancing, and even allow the little ones to have a chance behind the wheel! Please be sure to read the restrictions prior to booking, however, as some cruises will have age and height requirements.
