Marine Life

Dolphin Tours in Destin
Dolphins are common in Destin, Florida, and you very well might see a few playing in the surf while you are relaxing on the beautiful beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. But if you want an up close and personal experience with these beautiful sea mammels, the best way to do it is through a dolphin tour. Southern Star offers several fabulous dolphin tours on their 80-foot glass-bottomed boat. It's a wonderful way to view dolphins in their natural setting.

Gulfarium
The Gulfarium is Florida’s oldest marine aquarium, offering both educational and entertainment opportunities to visitors. The aquariums are filled with beautiful salt water fish that will delight visitors with their breathtaking colors. The shark moat features sharks, and kids will delight in watching these beautiful beasts being fed. Each day brings three opportunities to watch dolphins and sea lions strut their stuff in a live show. And if after the show you’re still haven’t gotten your dolphin fix, a dolphin interaction program allows visitors to interact and pet these spectacular creatures.
