“Backwater Fishing”

Reviewed May 11, 2012

Just returned from Sanibel, and one of the highlights of a memorable stay was the backwater fishing with Adventures in Paradise. It wasn't the first time we've done it, because we always enjoy it, and have even got used to baiting our own hooks (we aren't regular fishers!). The crew is very helpful, (and will bait hooks for you if... More

“Fabulous time!!”

Reviewed May 2, 2012

Sea life encounter was awesome!! Adventures in Paradise and Captain Bob made our cruise a blast! A fun boat ride out to a small island where we were spent plenty of time searching for sea life creatures. The crew was hands on and was out with the group the whole time. We even stopped to watch the dolphins playing in... More

“Perfect! Lots of dolphins!”

Reviewed April 30, 2012

I highly recommend the morning dolphin cruise! Dunkin donuts, orange juice, pop, water, sight seeing and a good dolphin show for $25? Well worth the money!!!! Captain pj and theresa were very nice and informative. They knew alot of history and facts about the area and the wild life we saw. It was the perfect amount of learning, not boring... More

“Left behind”

Reviewed April 19, 2012

We misunderstood the departure area. We called to verify and said we were on the way. 7 minutes late and they left. We had to argue with them to get 50% refund. I had read this same thing happened to other people, but we took them to deal in good faith. Guess not. More

“Fun trip”

Reviewed April 14, 2012

Very good trip for kids. We saw dolphin's. They took us to an island everyone got nets to skim the gulf and pull up creatures. The crew is very engaging. The kids get to have hands on with what is taken out of the gulf. My 6,9 year olds loved this trip. More

Two days later I took some friends who were visiting us, and they had a 7 and... More

“Lot of Money for nothing”

Reviewed April 11, 2012

This trip is a VERY expensive ($40/person) boat ride. It takes you down a canel by a few nice houses but nothing spectacular like Port Royal. Then across the bay to a small island where you get a net to be used to sift sand and hopefully find some small sea life. You are at the island an hour-hour and... More

“Seashells Galore!”

Reviewed April 11, 2012

What a to fun day! My friend came over from West Palm Beach as we both like the sun, beach and shelling. We left a bit late thanks to some inconsiderate people not being on time. So we only had 1.5 hours to shell. We went to North Capitiva Island; you can only get there by boat. Seashells everywhere. Also... More

“Fun half day excursion”

Reviewed April 5, 2012

Knowledgeable staff. Fun experience for all ages. Safe. Wish they would sell water on board or at least tell you to bring your own. My kids loved the Wildlife excursion. Would definitely recommend this company to others. More
