About this experience

Who doesn't love fireworks?!
To start, we will begin by giving you a tour of the
beautiful Destin harbor. From there, we will head out into the
East Pass, and wait for one of the greatest fireworks shows Destin
puts on, with the perfect jams to go with the vibe. There's nothing
like having a front row view of fireworks that light up the sky and the
water below. You are more than welcome to bring your own alcohol and food if you like as well. Must be 21+ to consume alcohol. This tour is approx 1.5 hours long.
