EXCELLENT !! - This was by far the best memory of our trip! The 2-hour boat tour was absolutely perfect. We were lucky enough to see dolphins up close and even got to swim near them in the wild — truly magical! 🐬 We also spotted some sea turtles, then stopped at Shell Island, which was like a dream — white sand, crystal-clear water, and a super clean, peaceful beach. Paradise! 🏝️ The snorkeling was amazing too, with great gear and beautiful underwater views. We were also offered free waters on board, a really nice touch. And the captain was fantastic — super friendly, passionate, and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Honestly, the value for money is unbeatable. If you're in the area, don’t miss this tour. I’d recommend it 1000%! 🌟

Always a good time - The captain, Jason, was wonderful. He was friendly and easygoing, making the trip quite enjoyable. Dolphins were scarce, but Shell Island was quite nice as well as boating around the area.

- We had 3 generations on our pontoon. We all enjoyed it! The youngers got to swim with manatees and turtles, as well as snorkel & enjoy "tropical" fish. All of us got off at Shell Island and enjoyed the warm water, and a relaxing swim/wade. We all wanted to do it again the same week!!!

The show Island dolphin tour is well worth the money and highly recommended. ‘Captain J’ was awesome!! - We definitely recommend Shell Island Dolphin Tours! Our guide, ‘Captain J’, was FANTASTIC!! He knew exactly where to take us to swim with pods of dolphins as well as spot sea turtles, tarpon, jellyfish, as well as other amazing marine life. We learned a lot as he answered our many crazy questions. Snorkeling was also fun and we found so many sand dollars, shells, crabs, sea urchins and other marine life. This trip was definitely a high point of our visit to PCB and we would highly recommend!!
