We enjoyed the ride, Captain was great. He tried his best to take us somewhere to snorkel away from the crowds. Since it was Memorial weekend, shell island shallow areas and beaches were crowded with holiday weekend boaters. The water was pretty rough do to all the boats causing huge wakes. Captain was able to keep us in safe area and we enjoyed seeing the dolphins and a private spot to snorkel.
The main problem we had was the sorry condition of the ladder on the back of this small boat. It took two people to help someone to get up the ladder. The ladder was broken, it only had one step which would not stay stationary to be usable. Our knees were cut and bruised trying our best to pull ourselves up. Captain had to jump in the water to help push us up to get in the boat. Then we had to help pull him back into the boat. Please get a better ladder for snorkelers, or recommend no snorkeling for this 6 passenger boats.

Prior to coming to PCB, we asked the kids what were their top must do items. Of course dolphin site seeing, snorkeling, and visiting shell island were at the top of their list. When I spoke with the rep, she was able to find us the perfect trip that checked all our boxes, and best of all, it was for the same day. Captain Connor was awesome and super knowledgeable. He was flexible to what the kids were wanting to see and do. The kids were most excited about seeing dolphins, and we were not disappointed. Captain Connor always seemed to know exactly where they were going to be and the kids couldn't get enough. I cannot stress how many dolphins we were able to see! If you're in PCB and want to get out on the water for some fun, I would highly recommend booking with Paradise Adventures. We will definitely book another trip with them the next time we're back in PCB.

A private boat with only our family and the captain on board, cold drinks beautiful water and the destination is entirely up to you. Dolphin watching, chase down a school of tarpons, sunset photos, collecting shells, or stop for a swim on a beach entirely to yourself. This is the tour to take for a truly unforgettable time. When the tour is over you'll be able to say, "We get to live like this".

This was a very nice boat tour. Glen, our captain, was very nice and friendly. He took us to Shell Island at the perfect time of day, it was absolutely beautiful. I would definitely book again.

Trip was beyond amazing!!! Perfect weather saw LOTS OF DOLPHINS and Captin Conner was a total Bad Ass!!! Took 2 hour boat ride, went to shell island and kids had a blast snorkeling. They all saw tons of fish. Best part my 15 year old son who is autistic had The BEST time! Conner even had a ladder that made it easier for my son to get back on the boat.Conner could not have been anymore patient and helpful. Don't walk but run go book.. you can thank me later!

We had an amazing boat ride! Captain Connor went above and beyond the expectations. We went to multiple spots and we saw dolphins and a sea turtle! Snorkeling was so much fun and Captain Connor even found us a sea urchin and a large crab. I would highly recommend this experience!

Trevor went above and beyond what I feel like was expected of him. He was very helpful and took us to a great spot for snorkeling. The water was too choppy on the day we went to enter the Gulf, but my kids had a blast nonetheless. Wouldn't hesitate to go again!

Trevor and the dolphins. Excellent captain, managed to smooth out some rough ones so I stayed pretty dry the whole time.. never seen so many dolphins up close. He was very good woth my kid, he's 10 and was nervous but he hooked him up! Well be back for the full day tour with Trevor, hopefully in July!

Wow!!! This was the absolute biggest highlight of our vacation, and it is all thanks to our skillful and intentional captain. Captain Trevor made our private boat tour so incredibly special. This past week, my husband and I were on our honeymoon, and we left in awe at how perfect our last night was thanks to our wonderful captain. When waters were rough, he made a very respectable decision to keep us safe and cruise on the bay while listening to romantic music. Despite the detour, he still managed to find dolphins for us to enjoy - literally feet away from our boat. We then rode into the lagoon and danced to our first dance song while watching the most beautiful sunset. On top of being our captain, dj, and cheerleader, Captain Trevor also took these amazing pictures that my husband and I will have for the rest of our lives and will get to show our kids one day. We will absolutely be coming back, and we will 100% be requesting our Captain Trevor - it feels like we made a new pal for life!! 5 stars.
