Adventure tourism is very popular these days. While people still love relaxing on the beach, they want to add some thrilling activities into their seaside vacation. Often this includes parasailing or having fun on jet skis and waverunners. Recently these adventurers have also become fascinated with whales and dolphins. It’s not surprising that guided Dolphin tours Destin area have become quite popular.
Part of the reason for their popularity is that they give people a great reason to rent a waverunner. This jet ski can seat up to three people. However their combined weight cannot total over 450 pounds. All drivers must provide valid identification with a photograph. Usually a passport or driver’s license is required. Most companies won’t allow children under four years of age on the jet skis. The cost of the tour which includes the waverunner rental is $110 per waverunner.
The experienced Dolphin tours Destin guides know how to work with beginner jet ski drivers to make them feel comfortable and keep them safe. It’s fun just getting out on the water and driving the around, but it’s even better when they find dolphins. Usually the guides can find a dolphin about 95 percent of the time. Finding the dolphins on every tour can’t be guaranteed though. When a dolphin is spotted the tour members have to remember to respect the animal. They may not go near the dolphin or feed them.
This is the perfect opportunity for parents to instill a love of nature and the environment in their older children. Even the most fidgety child who would hate visiting a museum or aquarium will have a great time on a jet ski. Jumping dolphins or dolphins just singing in the water will fascinate and intrigue anyone. Families visiting the Destin area can call Gilligans Watersports to find out about their dolphin tours. They have to remember water skis and guides are limited, so they should book ahead. When they call they can review the age and weight limits to make sure that everyone can participate. Anyone who’s ever been on a whale watching tour on a boat, will find this to be a much closer and personal experience.
