One of the best ways to tour Destin is aboard the AJ’s Seaquest dolphin boat. In fact, AJ’s received the Traveler’s Choice Award by Tripadvisor for 2023.
But, since we’ve been operating right on the Boardwalk for decades, we know a thing or two about all the things to do in Destin, Florida. The AJ’s dock has parasailing, private charter fishing, party boat fishing, museums, and even places to stay.
Here are a few of our favorites:
The Destin Area Chamber of Commerce is a great website to find accommodations, entertainment, restaurants, attractions, and more in Destin, Fl and the surrounding areas.
The Destin History & Fishing Museum is a great place to learn about the history of the early pioneers from the 1830s fishing industry to the vessels you see in the Destin Harbor today. It’s a great value ($10 for adults, age & Under are free) with over 5,500 sq ft of exhibit space detailing the history from early Native Americans to sleepy fishing village turned world class visitor destination.
Ocean Reef Vacation Rentals and Real Estate has been a leader in offering some of the finest properties along the Gulf Coast since 1982. They are known for Destin condos catering to couples and family getaways to Destin beach house rentals for large groups or family beach reunions, and even pet friendly Destin vacation rentals.
Fun4EmeraldCoastKids.com is a great website that lists family events, kid’s activities and parenting resources in the Destin and Okaloosa County areas.
Sun Dogs Parasail has been in business for 25 years and the only parasail company on the Harbor to take just 6 passengers on the boat so you’re not crowded and waiting on over a dozen people for your ride. Plus, Sun Dogs is the longest ride in Destin letting out 1000 ft. of line for the best views.
Charter Fishing Destin is deep see fishing at its best and located right beside AJ’s Water Adventures. The “Huntress” is an air-conditioned, 40-foot sport fisherman offering trolling and bottom fishing trips with Captain Mike.
Fly The Beach is a really cool way to experience a seaplane above the beaches of Destin and enjoy the view! Only one guest can be inside the plane with the pilot, but you do get a chance to fly it yourself if you like. They have many different flights to choose from including introductory tours and flight instruction.
