Each seat on the tour boat directly faces the 25′ glass viewing area so you can explore underwater without leaving your seat on your way to Crab Island. You never know what you’ll see! Once there, you can swim, float, or wade around the sandbar and see all the things that make Crab Island one of the top things to do in Destin!
