Use another service to book Shell Island Tour. Viator messed up our reservation. Did nothing to make good and ruined one day of our vacation. I am leaving bad reviews on every site I can find.

Our tour guide Bruce was the best! Super knowledgeable on the area, found us dolphins multiple times. Read a lot of reviews for other places, this was defintatly a great choice. 5 of us went out and all 5 of us had an amazing time! Don’t

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. Captain Rob was EXTREMELY INAPPROPRIATE and RUDE. He took a personal phone call during the boat about legal issues. After one hour, someone on the boat asked whether we would be going back soon. Right then a dolphin swam up and we all got excited because it was a close encounter. Captain Rob (without saying anything) just SPED OFF back to the dock. It was very obvious that none of us wanted to leave right as the dolphin showed up. But the WORST PART is that CAPTAIN ROB took PHOTOS of me and my friends in OUR BIKINIS on HIS CELLPHONE without asking our permission!! As we left, I asked him directly whether he was going to give us the photos because he said nothing and he was obviously planning to keep them for himself. He sent me only 2 photos (that were very creepy and close up of my body), saying the rest were blurry when I know he took MANY more. AND IT IS NOT REAL SNORKELING. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!

This boat tour was the highlight of our vacation in PCB. Caption Robert was cordial, informative, remembered all of our names and made sure the ride was not too rough for one passenger me with a very bad back. My daughter got to captain the boat briefly, which thrilled her to no end. The snorkeling interlude was a lot of fun and easy for everyone. We highly recommend this tour company and Captain Robert unhesitatingly. An added plus was that the weather was ideal, the waters crystal clear for ray and dolphin spotting, and it being a weekday, our small party had Captain Robert and his nice new craft all to ourselves. We were kings for a couple of hours. Thank you!

We had beautiful weather for this excursion. Our Captain was funny and entertaining. he stopped along the trip to point out landmarks, State Parks etc. We saw a ton of dolphins and even saw a SEA TURTLE!! I was so excited! He gave us the option of 2 different snorkeling spots- one where we could get out and look at Shell Island get shells but not see as much sea life OR not see the Island and see more sea life. We opted for the second one. We got out of the boat and saw tons of fish, got to pick up and hold numerous starfish and we found a bunch of sand dollars we threw them all back not wanting to kill them of course. The trip was awesome! well worth the price!

This tour was amazing. Captain Cody did a great job keeping us entertained. We saw dolphins and lots of fish during the snorkeling. The kids have not stopped talking about this excursion.

This was a fun excursion and we were able to see some dolphins along with many other boats surrounding them. We then went out to Shell Island where we snorkeled and found a variety of shells. We were told we would look for more dolphins on our way back but never did. Captain Rob has great knowledge of the waters and the area and pointed out the homes of Luke Bryan and Hulk Hogan. Overall, we enjoyed the trip!
