It was simply my fiance and I - no kids. The boat was clean, shaded, and spacious. The crew was very helpful and drinks were reasonably priced. Saw a lot of dolphins - seriously we didn't think we would see so many, but did! Snorkeling you won't find many species, but the area is beautiful and banana boat ride a blast! Highly recommend to couples and/or families

Great experience overall. The boat was super clean, the crew was experienced and friendly and the ride was smooth and enjoyable. This tour included banana boat rides while we were anchored at Shell Island. My two teens loved the rides! It was the highlight of the trip for them. The dolphin part was fantastic as well. I've been on many rides and never seen so many dolphins so close. We also enjoyed the snorkeling and saw lots of fish - not as much to see as Hawaii or the Caribbean but we knew that.

The cost is probably a few bucks cheeper when purchasing in person than online via Viator or tour companies. I over heard this so check to be sure. Overall, it was a nice tour. Watching for dolphins was probably the best part, there was a competitor (yellow boat apologize but I canā€™t remember the name) that the dolphins followed and stayed closer up to. Someone said it was because thy were feeding them on that particular boat. According to the advertised price at the dock, I believe that company is much cheaper when purchased in person as well, but it also appeared to be more crowded than ours. While snorkeling, I was expecting to see more colorful tropical fish as advertised in their picture to no avail. I didnā€™t see not one, and I ask other guest they said they didnā€™t see any either. For me that was very disappointing and the main reason we went. You will see plenty of star fish , sand dollar BUT DONā€™T EXPECT TO SEE COLORFUL TROPICAL FISH and you will be okay. You canā€™t bring food or drinks aboard including water, but they sale drinks and snacks once youā€™re on board. I canā€™t tell you the price of drinks and snaks cause I didnā€™t purchase anything. I over heard someone saying the price for the very small lunch bag of chips was $1.50 They will take a picture of you and your group prior to entry, and try to sale it to you for $10.00 once you get off. We bought our picture. Take tip money cause they will encourage it, and because the guides are so very nice you will feel obligated to pay. The guides were very nice, and made the cruise fun with great music and went out their way to make sure everyone including the children was okay and had a good time. We did have a good time and enjoyed the excursion, but next time I would try a different company. I thought this tour shouldnā€™t have cost more than $25.00 per adult and maybe $12.00 per per kid for what you get. They could have at least offered the guest a cheap bottle of water or allowed you to bring some instead of charging for it. After all, they are aware it get very hot out there on the ocean. I ask my family if they wanted something to drink; but Iā€™m a woman of principle so I stuck it out and simply refused to buy it.

Can you please remove this review from our company? You went out with the Island Time Sailing, not Paradise Adventures Catamaran. We own the "Yellow Boats" and we DO NOT sell photo's. You went out with the Island Time and we would appreciate it if you could re post this on their site. Next time you are here on PCB, please give us a try. Thank you
