We wanted to take a boat ride and see Shell Island and the dolphins.
How did you get to the activity location?
We drove to the location.
What was your experience with the activity’s staff?
The staff was highly knowledgeable and very friendly!
Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?
Once we arrived, we were quickly escorted onto the boat and given a brief safety overview. The boat ride out to Shell Island was absolutely gorgeous.
The captain was very friendly and very knowledgeable on everything we passed! He was very friendly and made us feel right at home.
It was a gorgeous day and Shell Island is a must see. The crystal clear water stretches out several hundred feet and reaches depths of 30 feet, and you can see straight to the bottom.
The dolphins swim up right by the boat. The captain even let us jump out and swim with them! It was absolutely amazing, and my son was blown away.
After that, we anchored on Shell Island and were able to snorkel for about an hour. There was a lot of crabs and tons of seashells! It’s almost like being on an abandoned island!
Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?
Yes, I would highly recommend this. The captain was very friendly, the scenery was absolutely gorgeous, and getting to swim with the dolphins was amazing!
