We booked a group outing for about 11 of us. Small wait when we arrived, but awesome experience! The kids felt safe and hope to return next year.

I just want to let everyone know that though Bonifay has closed, the new business is Premier Adventure Park and we will be open in the Spring. The dolphin tours are about 2 hours long, and on average, the trip is about 25 miles long round trip. We go cruising through the Gulf Island National Seashore passing Fort Pickens and stopping at Fort McRee where we take a short break mid point during the trip. This is ideal for people looking for something different than a typical jet ski rental that involves sightseeing and dolphin watching over a large area. We cover a lot of ground and the view is beautiful. You may see other marine life like sea turtles. No tour is the same.
If you decide to go on one with us, then please remember to bring at least two water bottles per person and you might want to bring a light snack. Space is limited, but do remember to bring, and wear, plenty of sunscreen. Coat your face really well as the UV is much more intense on the water. Its a good idea to wear a long sleeve rash guard too. They are designed to get wet and dry quickly while protecting you from sunburn as they are made of polyester or nylon. If you are planning a trip in advance, then I cannot overemphasize buying polarized sunglasses. They take out most of the glare which will allow you see dolphins moving just under the waterline. Some of my best photos would never have been taken had I not worn them.
Dolphins are extremely curious and it is not uncommon for them to swim over by us to check us out. They like to ride the bows of boats body surfing on the push of the hull, and they can do it even with small vessels like skis. But they can also be injured by boat props or collision with boat hulls so we have to be respectful of their space and their safety. Fortunately, jet skis don't have a prop exposed. Instead they have an impeller so as long as you are at idle speed all will be well. Please remember that if they do, then let them control the engagement because we have to respect their space under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. You can't feed them or swim with them and that sort of thing. They might be hunting which is cool to observe and we don't want to disturb that, but when that is out of the way, they tend to be playful and quite curious. No matter what, it is always great to observe these beautiful creatures in their natural environment.

Had a great time on the dolphin jet ski tour with Scott today. My wifes first time driving a jet ski. Scott was very helpful very safety conscious. He found us dolphins within the first 5 minutes. And for an added bonus we got to see the Blue Angels doing a show or practicing too. Scott took us to a sand bar for a short break to watch Blue Angels. We got to see and ride alongside at least 100 dolphins over the course of the tour. Money well spent great tour! Thanks Scott!! Oh and its called Premier Adventure Park now.

To whom it mat concern:
Bonifay Water Sports has closed for good. I am Scott, and worked there many years. I am the guide on dolphin jet ski tours. I hated to see my boss retire, but he earned it. A new business has now opened called Premier Adventure Park. We have jet ski rentals, kayaks, Jet ski dolphin tours, go carts, and more so if you thinking about coming by, then please do so. There has been a lot of confusion about the property and rumor lately. We are open seven days a week.

I wanted to see some dolphins, and also wanted to have some fun on jet skis, so Bonifay’s Jet Ski Dolphin Tour was the perfect match for me. All the staff we met were very friendly. On their recommendation we showed up the night before to see if my son’s safe boating card was good in FL, and reserved a spot for the next morning. While we were there we were given good info on what to bring and wear. We showed up early for the tour to pay, and they offered us loaner long sleeve water shirts to protect us from the sun, as well as a selection of waterproof cell phone cases so we could take pictures – all no charge - how many places do that? They also had zinc oxide for sale for our faces – and at a very reasonable price.
Next we filled out forms & waivers, and sat through a good safety briefing given by Scott our tour guide. This was all standard stuff, but I saw some people complaining about it online – do people really expect to rent a $10,000, 800lb, 125hp watercraft and not have to fill out some forms, listen to a safety lecture, and take a test? Good for Bonifay for taking safety seriously - way too many people get hurt on jet skis every year.
On to the tour. The equipment looked new – great condition, and great performance. Our tour guide Scott was excellent, friendly, and helpful. He gave us a walk-through of the controls, and then we were off. It was just my son & I, and Scott saw that we wanted to go fast, so he took off. What a great ride! We stopped to see the dolphins which was cool up close, then went flying around, ending up just short of Alabama! On the way back we stopped at a beautiful white sand island and climbed the hill for some photos. Total tour over two hours.
Overall an excellent trip – and excellent value when you consider all the time on the jet ski, plus the cost of a separate dolphin tour.
Scott had a waterproof camera, and took pictures of us throughout the trip, posted them on Google, and emailed me a link. Again, how many places do that - and fro free? Very nice touch!
When I come back to Pensacola I will definitely go back to Bonifay for another trip with them - wouldn't waste my time looking at any other jet ski places.

We had a great time renting waverunners here. One of us had to take a quick test to get a Florida boating certification before we could get going, but once we were on our way we had a lot of fun. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. Wished there was a larger area to ride around in on our own, but they did offer group tours that sounded like they would be well worth the money. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

Friendly staff! A great focus on safety. Nice new jet skis. They have a shower and changing room. Best pricing I could find in Pensacola Beach as well!

Had a great time except they mixed up our USB card with the other guest on the boat and we didn't know until we got home. They did give us a refund but we felt like they could have done more to help us find our pictures as they meant more to us then the $30.

My husband and I did the jet ski dolphin tour. It was AMAZING!! We saw 3 different pods and no less than 50 dolphins. They came right up to us and several jumped out of the water. The babies were so cute. Scott and David did an excellent job going over safety and making sure we had an unforgettable tour. Highly recommended. We will be back.

My boyfriend, friends, and I all decided on this place after scouring reviews on the internet and stopping by the 3 different rental places on the beach. We picked this place for their SAFETY RECORD (the only rental place on the beach that hasn’t had any deaths), best rates, best view, nicest staff, the multitude of things to do, and the facilities. I also love that it’s family run! The people here are serious about safety and we appreciated it!
We started out with the DOLPHIN TOUR. All I can say is OMG! It was surreal!!! Even thought they said they can’t guarantee it (obviously), we saw so many dolphins I couldn’t believe it!!! I even had one come close enough to touch it! I seriously wish I could do this every day. They were so playful and curious and they followed us around!
After the dolphin tour, we all went parasailing. It was my first time and I was definitely a bit scared, but I absolutely LOVED it!! I didn’t want to come down. They even dipped my feet in the water which was really cool and the ride time seemed pretty long. The boat staff was super nice and helpful and made me feel really comfortable. They took some great photos of us, too. We bought several and am were thankful that they took them. I tipped the guys and they were really appreciative.
After the parasailing I relaxed for a few in the shade in their huge deck area while some of my friends swam for a bit in the water. We finished the day off with a ride on the go-carts. Whoa, those things are fun!!! They’re fast and the track is super competitive. I LOVED every single thing about our day and experience at this place!! I can’t wait to go back on my next visit. I’ll be dreaming of these experiences for a while!!
