If you are looking for Family Fun things to do while you visit Destin, FL then you will want to check out this list of fun!
Water Taxi: To get to the beautiful sandy beaches, you will need to take a Water Taxi. This runs from 11:AM until early morning. (Don’t quote me, but I think they said it was around $10 for unlimited rides a day…)
Destin Snorkel: They offer Snorkel, Snuba and Dolphin Tours. I personally went on a Snorkel tour with them and they were awesome! Very friendly and professional. They provide everything you need to snorkel or snuba and the beach that they take you to has beautiful think sand. This is where I also Kayaked. I am not sure if they provided them or if someone else did, but the water was clear and perfect for snorkeling and kayaking as well!
Kitty Hawk Kites: They offer several fun adventures! I was planning to Paddle board with them but unfortunately the time slot that was scheduled for this didn’t work out due to very strong winds. The guide was extremely friendly and I know I would have had a great time on this excursion. They have a store on the harbor in Destin that is full of their awesome kites! I took a small one home to my 8 yr old who LOVES it! They are quality kites in fun packaging!
Boogie Water Sports Jet Ski Rentals: This is where we got our jet ski rentals from! Be prepared to show your Drivers License and have it on hand when you go on your jet ski. Getting one rented and playing was super easy. I was not a huge dare devil but did get it up to around 35 miles an hour. That was plenty fast for me! We did see dolphins while we were out on the jet skis! Looks like they do Parasailing as well!
Pirate Cruise: Climb aboard the pirate cruise and enjoy the fun banter of the night. Participate in dancing and minute to win it games. Definately something out of the box and fun! (Dress up for added fun!)
Shopping: There are tons of shops on the Harbour that you can shop at! I loved shopping in Del Sol. I got nail polish that changes in the sun! It’s so cool! My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Zip Line: They are putting in a new Zipline that will be open in June 2013. I hate that we missed out on that. I do love zip lining!
Kayaking: Destin Snorkel also provided kayaking for us. It was super easy. I had never done it before but would do it again in a heart beat. You really don’t need any instruction to do this…just hop in and get to work paddling!
I also saw water trampolines and other fun things to do on the Harbour.
