Shell Island Inflatable Adventure Park & Dolphin Sightseeing Tour
Description
We'll begin this adventure with a sail through the Grand Lagoon area to our own private playground area off of Shell Island. Once you arrive, you'll enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and an inflatable water park equipped with trampolines, water slides, seesaw ball and more on this 3 hour adventure cruise! At the end of the tour, we'll go looking for dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico. All activities and use of equipment are included. Additional snacks and beverages can be purchased as well. Food can be brought on to the catamaran, but no outside beverages are allowed. RED FLAGS DO NOT AFFECT OUR TOURS. Our tours operate in St. Andrews Bay, where conditions are often much calmer than the Gulf.

We didn’t find any shells that didn’t have a crab in them. And we seen no dolphins. The staff were nice and friendly.
Great experience, kids had a blast! Captain Zack, Caroline and Lamar were great! So many fun activities to do on shell island and the crew was so helpful!
Great trip! The workers were all awesome! So fun!

My family and I had a blast! We love that there are many options of things to do! My kids range from 7-12 and they all loved it! The captain and his crew were fun and easy going! We definitely would recommend Paradise Adventures!

I was very disappointed with our experience. We understood that the boat needed repairs the first day, and we were willing to be understanding about that. However, the second day was also disappointing. We were instructed to arrive at 1:15 p.m., but we were not able to board until 2:11 p.m. After finally leaving the dock, it took about 10 minutes to reach the obstacle course. Once we arrived, two of the inflatables were almost completely flat and could not be properly used. At approximately 3:30 p.m., we were told to get back on the boat to return to the dock. We were never taken to see the dolphins as originally advertised, and we were back at the docks and off the boat by 4:02 p.m. Overall, we feel that we were shorted on both time and the experience that was promised. We were excited for this excursion, but unfortunately it did not meet our expectations.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re sorry your experience did not meet expectations. We apologize for the condition of the inflatables and appreciate you bringing that to our attention. Your comments will be passed along to management! As for the excursion duration, due to the weather conditions in the area on Saturday, July 18th, management made the decision to shorten the trip and skip the dolphin watching portion for everyone’s safety. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a better day on the water!
Everyone had a great time, kids and adults! So much to do and the crew was super awesome too! Captain Zack, Lamar and Caroline were great.
Thank you so much! We're so glad everyone had a great time and enjoyed the adventure. We hope to have you all back with us again soon! ♥️
The whole family had a great time, and the kids loved the inflatable park, kayaks and paddleboards. I was skeptical about actually seeing dolphins but there were several schools in every direction, and really fun to see for a group from Colorado. The team on the boat was outstanding, sorry I can’t remember their names! They were a tremendous help getting the kids up on the slides, please bring extra cash to tip these folks, they were awesome.
Thank you so much for the great review! We're so glad your family had such a fun time on the water. We appreciate the kind words and hope to see you all again soon! ♥️
Great location, lots of fun activities at the island, nice relaxing boat ride after the water adventure. Crew was super friendly and helpful
Thank you so much! We're so glad you had a great time and hope to see you again soon! ⛵️
