Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?

I will always remember how nice Destin beaches are. The beautiful turquoise water and white sand. It’s a site you will never forget. The Crab Island runner excursion was the highlight of our trip. Let me tell you how awesome they are. My GPS told us we were 6 min away. I had to be there at 11:30. I underestimated the traffic and it took me almost 30 minutes to get there. I started to worry. I just knew they were going to leave us. I got a phone call at 11:50 from crab island excursion asking for ETA. They told me they would try their best to wait. The excursion started at 12:00 and I pulled in at 11:55. A gentleman on a scooter was waiting for me. He had us follow him to a nearby parking spot. We went straight to registration and boarded the boat at 12:00 on the dot. They could of left us, but they didn’t. They really saved the day. I could only imagine the letdown my kids would have felt if we didn’t make it. The staff offered us complimentary bottled water and had snacks for sale. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend the Crab island runner if you ever visit Destin, Fl.
