I booked parasailing for my best friend’s birthday because she has been wanting to do it for a long time. We were both very scared. I cried but in the end, we both did it and we absolutely loved it. The bestie got really nauseous and sick for the rest of the day. We said we would both do it again though.

We had a blast on the ride and with the crew! Can't wait to come back again

Loved r trip. Needs to be a lil longer. We so enjoyed.

First I scheduled the wrong day for  an additional ticket, but LaShawn at Tripshock took care of this problem immediately and without any additional problems.  She was awesome!

The show was equally as great. Highly recommend the VIP package for the 15 minutes of up close magic with Brandon.  His ability to change his voice is truly amazing. My teenagers didn't follow some of his impersonations, but for the rest of us it was entertaining and funny.  Brandon is extremely talented individual and very interactive with everyone.

It was a great family event. I will come back to see him again. Great show

Great

Wanted something different to do with the kids while on vacation and this was PERFECT. He made us all laugh and we even got pulled up on stage to be part of a magic trick. Soooo cool!  Our kids (17,15,11) loved it. 

There were a few of the voices he did that the kids didn’t recognize but they had a blast. Thanks for the laughs!

So much fun!

Had a great time on the jet skis. It was fun  to see so many dolphins and get so close to them. The equipment was brand new and we felt very safe. Highly recommend!

The staff was nice and very helpful.  Location was great and there are endless areas available to go explore on the pontoon boat.  You would need to rent the boat for days to go see everything.  The boat ran great and was clean.  However, the interior was worn and the radio didn’t work.  I was provided a whistle to use for emergencies because the horn didn’t work either.  Overall it was a good experience.  It could have been a little better with some functional accessories.

Nice Experience

We had a great day. Saw dolphins.  Staff was friendly.  Boat was a little worn.

Wonderful Experience

The girl taking us out to the boat was a little careless. One of our passengers was still standing when she took off and went face down. 

The boat drivers who did the parasailing were totally awesome!! They were fun and made it less scary for us first timers! 

On the way back, the same girl took us to the shore! She paid no attention to our safety.
