HarborWalk Adventures

HarborWalk Adventures is perfectly positioned at Destin Harbor — Florida's Luckiest Fishing Village — offering families a lineup of water-based activities that make the most of the Emerald Coast's spectacular Gulf waters. With a 4.8-star rating from over 700 reviews, this is one of Destin's most consistently praised activity providers.

The dolphin cruise is the anchor attraction for families with younger kids. These guided boat tours venture out into Destin Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico, where bottlenose dolphins are spotted with remarkable regularity. Kids who have only ever seen dolphins at an aquarium are completely unprepared for the experience of watching wild dolphins bow-surf directly in front of the boat — it genuinely stops children mid-sentence.

For older kids and teens, the parasailing operation offers a different kind of thrill: soaring above the impossibly blue-green Gulf while the beach stretches out below. HarborWalk also offers jet ski rentals for families with older kids and other water activities throughout the day.

The location in HarborWalk Village means you're surrounded by restaurants, shops, and live entertainment before and after your activity. The harbor itself is entertaining for kids just to watch — commercial fishing boats, charter vessels, and pleasure craft moving in and out throughout the day.

For the genuine Destin experience that goes beyond just the beach, HarborWalk Adventures delivers activities that produce the kind of vacation memories kids talk about for years.
