This review is about the tubing. I can't really say I had a…read moregreat time. There were so many trees down in the water we had to constantly get out and figure out how to get our tubes free. I mean, I get it. You can't control where trees fall, but a warning would've been pretty helpful. The guy who gave us instructions in the beginning told us to go a certain way when we got to the bridge, directions which got us trapped in a huge tree in very fast moving water. In the end, we did sign the form saying they weren't responsible for us getting hurt, we just didn't expect how much hurt we were in for. As far as front desk customer service goes... helpful information, not so helpful attitudes.

I enjoyed the tubing itself, everything was beautiful. But it's hard to shake first impressions. As…read moresoon as we pulled up on the property, an employee stuck his head in our car window and before we could say anything to him he said "yeah, I'm not wearing a mask and I don't care." He gave us parking instructions and a waiver and said, "sign this about all that COVID bull crap." Our car group was not assumed. Most of the other staff seemed friendly enough and most wore masks, but they didn't not require masks worn inside the building. Then on the tubing ride a local started screaming at as from her house because "I find too much litter down there!!" We weren't doing anything wrong so I don't know why she felt the need to scream at us. The people who live on the river clearly resent the tubers.

Did a Groupon for one of the zip lining adventures for two. We came during off season so it was…read moreonly the two of us lol. Approx 1.5 hours away from Destin but the drive wasn't terrible. You sign a waiver and you have to weigh between 70 to 250 pounds for the zip line. Our two tour guides Jaeda and Spencer were amazing. As someone who's never zip lined before, they were comforting and patient. I think this zip line tour was good for beginners and kids. I think there were 10(?) zip lines that were approx 300 feet each. I'd prefer a longer one next time!

One water bottle is 6 bucks. My daughter loved the new kid play area they opened last year, well it is now closed and boarded up. The entire place stinks of pee. Some kid threw up in a pool when we were there and all they did was scoop it out and throw in an chlorine tab in and let everyone back in within 5 minutes. Before we left this God awful place we wanted to get dippin dots, well guess what? They sold out before it was even 2:30 PM. Save yourself money and don't come here. You'd be better off driving to Destin and going to the water park there.

Looked like a good place to go so we tried booking a reservation for two days (Sun/Mon). Website…read morewould not take a credit card (error messages). Called them on Monday afternoon and we were told the credit card part on the website wasn't set up. So we asked to make a reservation. We were told we didn't need one just show up. When we arrived we drove down a single lane pothole riddled clay road for a half mile. Upon arriving at the entrance we were greeted with a river crossing to actually get to the facility and parking area (picture below). If I had a truck it wouldn't have been bad but the ruts under the water surface were at least 2 ft deep. Driving a Honda Accord through this "Entrance" was not an option. So we turned around and went to the competitors canoe rental. My one star rating is only based on my attempt to get there. I did not actually get to use their facilities or services. It would have been nice to be told of the water crossing by the employee on the phone. If you do go there "ASK" about the water depth if you are driving a car.

We checked the weather before we went so that we could fully enjoy our time there. The price was excellent. I'm from New Jersey and according to Jersey prices this was almost free.

We had the best time just going to different places exploring, snorkeling and finding shells. We headed back and parked it with their patient crew guiding me into the spot. We had left the shells we found on the boat and one of the crew members followed us out to the car to make sure we had them. I'd highly recommend this place and will use again. A five star for sure!

Captain Scott McCarthy of Destin For Fun made our trip nothing short of phenomenal! He maintained…read moreconstant communication from the time we booked a month in advance, up to the minute we stepped on the boat. He made sure I knew the cancellation policy on weather conditions and I have to say, they are FAR more generous than any other company I've dealt with. He wasn't afraid to zig zag through the crowd to get us right in the middle of all the fun, which is exactly where we wanted to be. He provided a big floating mat, a beer pong game that was a huge hit with our group, a big Bluetooth speaker, as well as his photo services. He had no problems taking pics of our group for us while we had our fun. He got in the water and played football with the husbands and retrieved drinks and Jell-O shots for the ladies. We could not have asked for anything more! He will be our go-to from now on, no doubt about it!
