Chase and Chelsie were great. Easy going and fun. Weather was not ideal, but we still had fun and ended up seeing a lot of dolphins. Would love to go again, in good weather.

A very fun experience!! The crew was very funny and friendly especially Josh the “bartender” 😂. The views were so beautiful and we loved how you get to kinda do your own thing once you get to shell island, you can walk on the beach across to get to the gulf or go straight into snorkeling where there’s cute marine life everywhere! then you go onto the dolphin tour, they weren’t very active when we went but we still saw a few! I wish you could add videos to these reviews because we definitely took a lot! 10/10 would definitely do again!

This experience was one to remember! Our tour guides, Chelsea and Kelly, were amazing! When we got to Shell Island, we got to see sea urchins, a sting ray, sand dollars, etc. Overall, it was just a great experience.

It was a rough experience. It was my first time and honestly it was kind of scary. We were dropped off in 10-12 feet of murky green water so we really couldn’t see much of anything down below. I was under the impression that we’d snorkel a reef or something but that wasn’t the case. Overall I wouldn’t do it again or recommend it to anyone.

Chelsea and Gordon were great captains. We saw lots of dolphins and had so much fun snorkeling. Boat wasn’t overly crowded.

Get ready to enjoy a fun boat ride to shell island. Once arriving be prepared to get in the water and start your adventure. Collecting shells, going to the island, or snorkeling around the boat. We collected several shells some of the biggest I’ve seen at PCB. Lots of sea creatures and even got a couple of sand dollars. Then after we were done at the island we cruised back and saw several dolphins. Defiantly on our to do list when we come back to PCB again.
