Overall good experience. Wish the inflatables were easier to climb/ride. Loved the kayak and paddle boarding. Snorkeling area was nice but not very big clear area. Disappointed we didn’t see many dolphins, but knew that wasn’t guaranteed. Would use again.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you had a good overall experience with us. Your comments about the inflatables and snorkeling area are noted, and we appreciate your understanding that dolphin sightings are not guaranteed. We're pleased you enjoyed the kayak, paddle boarding, and the snorkeling area despite its size. We look forward to hosting you again and improving upon your experience next time!

Fun day

Brain and his crew were absolutely amazing! Highly recommend this tour boat cruise over to shell Island.  So many activities to keep you busy and dolphins are everywhere

A great experience

We had a wonderful time!!!
We definitely will be back soon, everyone was so nice and helpful.

We are so glad you had a good time. We cant wait to see you again!

We love it!!!

Service/staff and entertainment were great. Water inflatables a bit old but kids all had fun!

We are glad you had a great time. Thanks for your review.

Fun - a tad over priced

The whole tour seemed unorganized from the beginning. I was called the morning of and was told I didn’t complete the waivers (which I did) and that I still owed money (which I didn’t). The captain of the boat was ok, but when things went south with our adventure tour, she became rather snotty about it. There was something in the water that burned/itched our skins something terribly. We couldn’t even enjoy our time in the water, and the captain more or less made it sound like it was our fault/problem. It wasn’t enjoyable, and even if we could have gotten in the water, it wasn’t like the pictures and wouldn’t have been great snorkeling. It was most definitely a waste of money and we will never do this tour again.

I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. It sounds like there were several issues that affected your enjoyment of the tour, from administrative challenges to discomfort in the water and communication with the captain. Your feedback is important, and we apologize for falling short of your expectations. We will address these issues internally to improve our service and ensure a better experience for future guests. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Adventure tour

the inflatables are what i came for and it was nothing like the pictures

It was okay

We went on the boat to Shell Island. At the island the water was dark and smelled bad. The best part of the trip was the crew but they really werent interactive with the guest on the boat. On the hour and a half dolphin cruise we saw 5 dolphins; 4 were on the way back to dock. It was supposed to be a 4 hour trip from advertisement and we were at the island for about 11/2hours. The inflatable were not something small children could use without an adult to assist them on getting on. Over all it was mehhh.

We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy the adventure tour. This is a 3-hour trip so we spend around an hour and 45 minutes on the island and the last hour looking for dolphins, not sure where you saw that it was 4 hours. Unfortunately, we cannot control the dolphins but try to find them to the best of our ability being that they are wild animals. Sorry, again you did not enjoy your excursion.

Mediocre time

Our excursion was so much fun!  We are a family of 6 so nothing we do is cheap, but we hoped that this would be worth the money. It definitely was! The captain and crew were so friendly and accommodating. Our kids (ages 3-8) and ourselves had so much fun climbing on the obstacle courses, snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, and sliding down the ship’s slide! Our kids loved that they got to try all these different activities since you usually have to rent it all individually. The only thing we wished our time on shell island was longer. We didn’t see any dolphins but the captain did everything he could to find one, they just weren’t out. He even took us to a shipwreck in the ocean which our kids thought was pretty cool. This was the highlight of everyone’s trip and all our kids said they definitely want to do this next time we come back. Don’t hesitate, book this awesome experience!

We love hearing about all the fun you and your family made! What wonderful memories you made that will certainly last a lifetime. Thanks for sailing with us, we hope to see you again!

Excellent Experience

We had a great time 
The captain (wish I remembered her name) she was amazing and fun
The bartender was the best ever.. 
my husband enjoyed talking to Glen, Hunter, AJ and Connor. 
Thank you for the memories

We are glad you had such a great time! We are so glad you chose Paradise Adventures to be a part of your vacation.

Great family fun

The inflatable water park sounded really fun but we were a little under whelmed with what was actually available. The kayaking and paddle boarding was fun, although, a very small space they ask you to stay in while enjoying these activities. The crew were all fantastic, helpful, and friendly. 5⭐️Crew for sure!

We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the inflatables but we are glad you enjoyed the rest of the activities! We have to make sure everyone stays close to all the rental boats who don't always know what they are doing. Our first priority is keeping our guests safe! Thanks for your feedback.

<p>We loved the inflatables, snorkeling, and the overall experience. Getting to see a dolphin was the topping on a great day!  Having a cold drink in hand made the experience enjoyable as well. And we had a visit from an ice cream boat on the island which the kids adored!!!! The group was small enough that there was plenty of room and equipment for all to partake of any activities. The only thing I wish we had been offered was more time. Such a nice day!!</p>
