Sunset dolphin experience - This was such a great experience! Captain Tim was amazing and went out of his way to make my boys' first boat experience a great one. We were able to see dolphins then get out and snorkel to find sand dollars, sea urchins, crabs, etc. We did the sunset time slot and it was a perfect way to end the evening.

Boat Adventure - This was an amazing trip! I highly recommended booking this tour with Capt Tim. He was a wonderful tour guide and took us to shell island for snorkeling and we saw 6 dolphins. What a beautiful day we blessed with great weather and real blue water. I love the location of the dock behind Bluegreen Resort in Bay Point. Book it you will not regret it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No need to look any further. - Prior to coming to PCB, we asked the kids what were their top must do items. Of course dolphin site seeing, snorkeling, and visiting shell island were at the top of their list. When I spoke with the rep, she was able to find us the perfect trip that checked all our boxes, and best of all, it was for the same day. Captain Connor was awesome and super knowledgeable. He was flexible to what the kids were wanting to see and do. The kids were most excited about seeing dolphins, and we were not disappointed. Captain Connor always seemed to know exactly where they were going to be and the kids couldn't get enough. I cannot stress how many dolphins we were able to see! If you're in PCB and want to get out on the water for some fun, I would highly recommend booking with Paradise Adventures. We will definitely book another trip with them the next time we're back in PCB.

Ride was fun, snorkeling was not - We enjoyed the ride, Captain was great. He tried his best to take us somewhere to snorkel away from the crowds. Since it was Memorial weekend, shell island shallow areas and beaches were crowded with holiday weekend boaters. The water was pretty rough do to all the boats causing huge wakes. Captain was able to keep us in safe area and we enjoyed seeing the dolphins and a private spot to snorkel. The main problem we had was the sorry condition of the ladder on the back of this small boat. It took two people to help someone to get up the ladder. The ladder was broken, it only had one step which would not stay stationary to be usable. Our knees were cut and bruised trying our best to pull ourselves up. Captain had to jump in the water to help push us up to get in the boat. Then we had to help pull him back into the boat. Please get a better ladder for snorkelers, or recommend no snorkeling for this 6 passenger boats.
