Navarre Beach Dolphin Cruise: Private, Group, Sunset, and Eco Tours

One of the best things we did on our trip was going on a Navarre Beach Dolphin Cruise.  To be fair we actually ended up using a company in Pensacola Beach that no longer operates because the departures worked better for us.  We had a great time and know there are quite a few good companies servicing the Navarre and Navarre Beach, Florida areas, and thought a directory of companies may be helpful for other first-time vacationers to the area.

Scheduling can be the hardest part of the process.  We did not know about TripShock, which consolidates Dolphin Cruise listings in the Navarre and Pensacola areas.  You may want to start there to see what Dolphin tour options and discounts they have available.

One money-saving tip is to always see if there is a Groupon available for Dolphin cruises in the area. Viator, a Trip Advisor company, also now books dolphin tours (although most of them leave out of Pensacola).

If you are looking for other things to do in Navarre Beach link to our ultimate guide on that exact subject.  In the meantime enjoy interacting with local marine animals. on a Navarre Beach Dolphin Cruise. You will see friendly dolphins and plenty of seagulls.  We also found some other helpful posts on dolphins in the Navarre Beach area.  Oh!  And be sure to do some research on dolphins using National Geographic or Wikipedia.

Our Navarre Beach Dolphin Cruise Experience

We were in Navarre Beach for nearly two weeks and we just seemed to keep missing the opportunities to schedule a dolphin cruise.  We were trying to schedule our family and my brothers, who live in Navarre Beach, and we just couldn’t make the timing work out.

We finally got one scheduled that worked for us.  It was the only one we did so we can’t say whether it was the best.  But, it worked for us, and we had a great time and consider it one of the highlights of the trip.

If you want a more domesticated experience you can see dolphins in captivity at the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park in Fort Walton Beach.
