    Great time on the helicopter ride. Pilot was very  Friendly and informative. Well worth the money and tons of fun!

    Fun ride with a very friendly and informative pilot. We'll work the money! Would recommend For anyone.

    Amazing views!!

    Another must do if you visit Destin. Friendly staff. We went on the 10 mile trip, but could've stayed for hours up there. Amazing views!!!!

    What an experience!! There is soooo much to see from up above. And these talented pilots know the sweet spots. What will you see? ! Sharks Dolphins Sandy beaches stretching for miles People Parasailing (Fly over them!) Beautiful beautiful scenery in every direction. If you have been to Destin before or or if this is your first time, you will have an experience of a life time. These guys treat you right and the pricing is spot on.

    They were amazing! To start the gentleman and sweet lady I spoke to on the phone were so friendly and informative! After we got there we only had about a 20 min wait and got to chatting with the young man that gave the fight instructions and he told us some crazy stories. The pilot was retired air force pilot who was very friendly pointed out a lot of cool places and told us some interesting facts about the marine life we saw. The only down side was I wasn't filming on my go pro and I wish we went longer!!! And lastly the owner came out of the building after our flight and stopped us to make sure we enjoyed it If you are looking to go on a helicopter ride, please choose them!

    Awesome experience from start to finish. My wife and I came to Destin for our honeymoon and wanted to do a helicopter ride (neither of us had ever been on one before). Super friendly staff from when I called until the very end. Pilot was awesome at giving a tour and pointing out sea life as well as landmarks around the area. We opted for the 30 mile route and definitely worth the extra money. Highly recommend!!

    Beach helicopter tour was definitely a blast! The couple who runs the place were very friendly and professional. Making sure we were comfortable and feeling safe. Mike, the pilot, was really knowledgeable of the area we flew over. Lots of amazing sights from up about. Sharks, dolphins, rays, tarpon, and redfish were all spotted with clear visibility. I highly recommend you knowing what the tide is doing so that you'll have beautiful water color. Things to know about this place is its first come first serve so just show up when you're ready. We went the first week of May so there was no line but I can only imagine there's people waiting during peak season. Well I hope you all will enjoy your tour as we did!

    They were very accommodating of our 6 and 2 year olds. We loved our tour and the memories with our kids.

    An interactive, fun experience for families that have young children. I even noticed preteens…read morehaving a blast. Unfortunately, for myself and my family we were sold on this idea of a pretty cool pirate ship that tours the island of Destin. Not at all with this ship does. This cruise is solely intended to entertain children while you explore a small area of the waters for example passing crab Island starting just a short distance away from Harbor Walk. We were lucky enough to see a dolphin take a quick flip above water, but if you blinked and missed it, which some people in my group did, then you missed it but it's not advertised as part of the experience so for those of us that saw it, we were lucky. I do find that there are many dolphins and you get to see them probably any day you're on the water. The ship is exceptionally clean, and I loved the laboratory facilities. Not your typical tiny bathrooms that you find on a boat. We did order the fast on boarding Tickets, which I did not feel were necessary. No one asked us for it and when we got to the ship, we were instructed to walk to the front just like everybody else and had to wait for one family to board ahead of us as they only board one group at a time. In my mind that family did not have a fast on boarding, however, who knows. We were not asked for the Pass and there was no line or sign to indicate what side to stand on if you had a fast on boarding. Maybe this is more valuable during peak season but definitely not now.

    We had a great time on the cruise! Brought the family to Destin and my girls wanted my grandson to…read moreexperience a Pirate Cruise like they did when they were little. It was outstanding. The staff were all helpful and entertaining to all onboard that I saw. Interacting with as many guest as possible. Cracking jokes, dancing with the kids, training them to be a "Pirate". I would highly suggest this place for more than just the cruise. They are outstanding believers in Jesus Christ and also support missions. I am sure your family would enjoy everything about it.

    Had a great experience with this company in Destin. A group of friends and I traveled to Florida in…read moreFebruary and there wasn't a ton of options that early in the season for boat cruises but southern star was open lucky for us! Very convenient location at the boardwalk. We booked for 7 of us ahead of time (about a month ahead of time online) with no issues. They started the cruise right on time and there was plenty of seating on a dual level boat. They took us out into the harbor for dolphin watching. The crew said there was no guarantee to see dolphins but they were very confident we would get some action and they were right! We saw SO many dolphins and they came so close to the boat, swimming in their schools. It was so cool. The crew member manning the intercom was also giving tips during the ride for how to attract the dolphins closer. We also saw a beautiful sunset. It was a great time. Would definitely recommend dolphin/sunset cruises through them!

The captain gave out great information and acted as a guide throughout the trip. The other staff were great as well. You are pretty much guaranteed to see dolphins. In fact of you don't see any dolphins on the cruise they give you an open ticket invitation to come back again with no expiration date. We were in Destin for 5 days, and this trip was the highlight of our vacation! It was money well spent! This is a diesel engine ship, and you will smell diesel exhaust at times like any other diesel engine ship. Just fyi, i know that can sometimes be an issue for some folks.
