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.

Who gets to live like this? - A private boat with only our family and the captain on board, cold drinks beautiful water and the destination is entirely up to you. Dolphin watching, chase down a school of tarpons, sunset photos, collecting shells, or stop for a swim on a beach entirely to yourself. This is the tour to take for a truly unforgettable time. When the tour is over you'll be able to say, "We get to live like this".

Captin Conner Rocks! - Trip was beyond amazing!!! Perfect weather saw LOTS OF DOLPHINS and Captin Conner was a total Bad Ass!!! Took 2 hour boat ride, went to shell island and kids had a blast snorkeling. They all saw tons of fish. Best part my 15 year old son who is autistic had The BEST time! Conner even had a ladder that made it easier for my son to get back on the boat.Conner could not have been anymore patient and helpful. Don't walk but run go book.. you can thank me later!

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.
