If you’ve been put in charge of planning reunion activities for your entire extended family, you are probably looking for fun activities that work well for large groups of all ages. This post is a great way to help you start coming up with ideas to make everyone happy at your next family reunion in Destin!
1. Crab Island Water Park
The Crab Island Water Park is guaranteed fun for kids, adults, and even grandma! From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Crab Island has a giant inflatable obstacle course set up, featuring all kinds of slip-sliding fun. To get to the island, your group will need to rent or charter a boat, or ride the Crab Island Shuttle Boat. You will also need to purchase an armband from the floating kiosk next to the inflatables in order to join in on the fun. Even if inflatables aren’t your thing, Crab Island offers plenty of other activities that are fun for all ages, especially for large groups like family reunions.
2. Adventure Tour
The Adventure Tour is an all-inclusive boat tour that offers seating for up to 37 passengers. You can reserve the whole boat or as many seats as you need. The tour departs from Destin Harbor. From there, you’ll have the chance to sightsee for dolphins, and drop anchor at your adventure destination where you can snorkel, hunt for seashells, bottom kayak or stand-up paddleboard. All these activities are included in the ticket price!
3. Deep Sea Fishing
Interested in finding out why Destin is known as “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village?” Fish the depths of the Gulf of Mexico and have the chance to catch red snapper, grouper, amberjack or mahi mahi! And the best part… the crew will filet and bag up your catches which you can grill or fry later at a family fish fry!
4. Pirate Cruise
If you have lots of young kids in your family, you are sure to love a pirate adventure day aboard a pirate ship. The boat accommodates up to 40 passengers and the tour can include dressing up, face painting, treasure hunting, and a water cannon war against a villain!
5. Waverunner Dolphin Tours
Another fun addition to your family reunion would be a guided dolphin tour on waverunners! Because the waverunners sit close to the water, your experience with the dolphins feels much more up-close and personal. The guides know where the dolphins like to feed, so you are more likely to see them on a guided tour than on your own. Each waverunner seats up to 2 people, so you can pair up with your favorite family member for the ride.
Hopefully this list provided you with a good starting point for planning your next family reunion in Destin. Now, you’re one step closer to relaxing on the beach and making some amazing new memories on the Destin Florida coast with your family!
