There were 9 of us - 4 adults and kids ages 4, 7, 9, 11, 15 - everyone had a great time! We loved the boat ride and we had perfect weather. There were 37 people on the boat - and only approximately 12 allowed up front. The front had the net and a few seats and the sun! ... the rest of the boat was covered and in the shade. Just something to think about if that matters to you. The snorkeling was fun - we saw a ton of sea urchins, a couple sand dollars, a few hermit crabs, and a big sea snail. Lots of fish, but as other reviewers have mentioned, definitely nothing brightly colored. All of the kids absolutely loved the banana boat ride - I would have paid for them to do it more than once given the option. It was nice having the bar - 1 drink is included and then beer is $4 and $6 for wine. After snorkeling, We went to the area with dolphins - and we saw so many! We thought maybe there wouldnā€™t be many because of boat traffic for July 4...but they still hung around! Justine and Moseley were awesome - we definitely recommend taking the trip!

I have to say that Capt Justine and 1st mate Moseley were very great on the tour. I rate this tour a 4 star out of 5 due to it being so very busy at the location for snorkeling. The location for snorkeling was very crowded and we had to anchor a little too far out for the kiddos. The atmosphere was great and the comedy on point. 1st mate Mosley was also on point when it comes to mixing drinks and keeping the ship ready for use, equipment was clean and ready to use. Very great captain of the vessel who kept us safe and out of rough waters. Now when it comes to the dolphin experience, it was AWESOME! Capt Justine got us right on top of the dolphins, almost close enough to touch! I would highly recommend this tour, just be cautious of a heavy holiday.

Hi Damon G, Thanks for the great review! We are always so excited when our customers take the time to review their experience. We are sorry about the particularly crowded snorkeling location on your trip. Unfortunately Shell Islands incredible beauty attracts tourists and locals alike and was most likely extra busy due to the holiday weekend. We are SO thrilled to know that aside from the holiday rush, you enjoyed your trip with Moseley and Captain Justine. We are excited to see you again the next time you are in PCB! Thank you for choosing Paradise Adventures, Donnie & Tracey Coker Owners

This was by far the best thing we did during the week we were here. The crew is awesome!! Heath, Anna, Justin and Ryan. Justin was our jet-ski driver for our banana boat, best time ever. We snorkel looking for shells. The kids played on the trampoline and other inflatables that wee set up in the water. Had a nice tour on the way back and saw many dolphin. If you have a chance to do this while your in PCB it is well worth the money!! Thanks again to the crew for an amazing time for me and my family
