Destin Snorkel (Jetty Tours)

The Destin Jetties are one of the most popular snorkel spots on the entire Gulf Coast — and the easiest way to experience them is with a guided Destin Snorkel tour. A 10-minute boat ride out of Destin Harbor drops you right over the jetty rocks, where you'll find crystal-clear water, schools of tropical fish, stingrays, starfish, and occasional sea turtles.

What's Included:

• 2-hour guided snorkel trip with crew supervision
• All gear provided: mask, snorkel, fins, and flotation belts
• Dry bags, cooler access, and restroom on board
• Expert naturalists pointing out fish and marine life
• Short boat ride from Destin Harbor — great for kids prone to motion sickness

What You'll See:

• Sheepshead, mangrove snapper, and sergeant majors darting around the rocks
• Stingrays on sandy patches between the jetty boulders
• Octopus and flounder for patient snorkelers
• Occasional loggerhead or green sea turtles
• Summer visibility often 50+ feet

Pro Tips:

• Great for beginners — water is waist-to-chest-deep at parts of the jetties
• Bring reef-safe sunscreen (required on most tours)
• Morning trips have calmer water and better visibility
• Recommended minimum age around 6 (must be comfortable in the water)
• Waterproof phone pouch = best investment for photos
