We had an excellent time with Andrew and Evan Sunday night. The trip was fantastic and we saw several pods of dolphin. We even heard one. I will be back again!

Beautiful evening all the way around. Sunset was gorgeous, crew was friendly and informative, and the dolphins never disappoint. Would definitely use their services again.

Great cruise!! Was able to see dolphins...a pod of about 15! Captain Ken & First Mate Andrew worked really hard to find the dolphins...finally tracking them down & giving us a great show! Andrew knew so much about the birds, fish, dolphins and everything SWFL! He was on our last tour. You can learn a lot from him! Take the dolphin tour...you won't regret it!!

An amazing sunset and dolphin experience, with Captain Evan and First Mate Michelle, both very patient with our questions and extremely knowledgeable of the area and the wildlife. It was almost as if they paid the sun, moon and dolphins to cooperate! Thanks for a great anniversary evening

Did the sunset dolphin tour back in July and it was amazing. The pictures you are able to capture out on the water are breath taking. The captain was very friendly and even let the kids take turns driving the boat. Have another one booked this week.

My family and I have been on two dolphin watching cruises with Adventures in Paradise. Both have been absolutely wonderful. The staff have been very helpful and informative. I would recommend this company and will certainly be back for another adventure with them.

Great sunset trip to see dolphins. The guys hosting the boat ride we're excellent and very informative. The boat is also very nice and in great shape. We would go again, we saw tons of dolphins on this trip. A group of people on the ride with us have been on this boat 5 times and said they have always had a great time.

My family and I were able to book the same day for the sunset cruise. Luckily they were able to accommodate all 8 of us. Captain Eric and his first mate were awesome and welcoming. Such a fun boating experience! Looking forward to our next Florida vacation and booking their shell cruise!

Unbelievable sunset cruise. Great crew, very knowledgeable. Had 5 adults and 4 children with us and everyone had a great time. Additional bonus we were able to see a few dolphins while heading out to catch the sunset. Highly recommend.

I was so blown away by how amazing this dolphin cruise was. We have done dolphins cruises before in SW Florida where you might see 1 dolphin far off in the distance. But THIS cruise was so much better. We saw a pod of dolphins no more than 10 minutes after we left the dock. We had dolphins come right up to the boat and swim right off the bow with us for several minutes. We then cruised along and spotted another pod with a little baby dolphin that the captain said couldn’t have been more than a week or two old. It was such a great sight to see. This was also my 2 year old daughters first boat ride and they made it such an amazing and memorable experience. The captain and first mate were very knowledgeable and we learned a lot of great facts about of wildlife in the area. I cannot recommend this business more. Absolutely wonderful!

As a last minute thing, we decided to book another shelling tour during our recent trip to FL. I wasn't expecting to find one. I left a message with Adventures in Paradise and was happy to get a call back and told that they had spots the next morning! It would be shelling on North Captiva and then lunch on Cabbage Key - which was exactly what we wanted to do (actually, we wanted to get to Cayo Costa, but it's closed to commercial boats right now). We arrived at the marina the next morning and had no issues parking. There are bathrooms at the marina, and the boat also has a head (although, I didn't use it, so I can't speak to that). There was plenty of seating on the boat - in the shade or sun. There was a huge cooler of bottled water, so we didn't have to bring any. Our captain and first mate were awesome (sorry, guys, I can't remember your names!). Along the way, they would point out things, educate us, answer questions, etc. They set up chairs and umbrellas on the beach but my son and I hiked down the beach, looking for shells and wildlife instead. We didn't have awesome luck with shelling, but we saw two small rays, two different types of crabs and many fish. After shelling, we went to Cabbage Key. We saw a manatee in the marina and got pretty close to it! Their gift shop is super cute, and we bought a few items. We had lunch at the Inn and, of course, ordered cheeseburgers. They were delicious! Things are quite expensive, but you have to understand that everything has to get brought to the island. They explain a lot of this on the placemats. We ate in the dollar bar and added our dollar. Anyway, after this, we went looking for dolphins on our way back to the marina - which was an unexpected bonus to our tour! And we found several. Overall, it was a great experience! The tour is about six hours with two hours of shelling. I would have preferred more time shelling and less as Cabbage Key as we kinda had nothing to do once we ate. It was really just too hot to go exploring much. But thanks for a great time, Adventures in Paradise!
