About Destin Snorkel (Jetty Tours)
Guided snorkel trips to the Destin Jetties — Florida's clearest water, easy swimming, and a reef full of fish just offshore.
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
