Highlights

We'll begin this adventure with a sail through the Grand Lagoon area to our own private playground area off of Shell Island. Once you arrive, you'll enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and an inflatable water park equipped with trampolines, water slides, seesaw ball and more on this 3 hour adventure cruise! At the end of the tour, we'll go looking for dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico. All activities and use of equipment are included. Additional snacks and beverages can be purchased as well. Food can be brought on to the catamaran, but no outside beverages are allowed. RED FLAGS DO NOT AFFECT OUR TOURS. Our tours operate in St. Andrews Bay, where conditions are often much calmer than the Gulf.

  • 5Epic

    Captain Zac and his crew Lamar and Trey were all spectacular. The excursion was worth it, the island was very pretty and engaging from the bar on boat to snorkeling for shells this was worth it. After the island fun we got to see dolphins and enjoy some more of the crew’s charisma. Shoutout to the boys on the island for keeping us safe on the kayaks, inflatables, and paddle boards too!

  • 5Treat employee better

    We had a great time. Everything was great. They had lots of things to climb but really made for kids. Some adults really wants to do course and some were just made for kids. Workers clarified when I pointed out some were needing air but it was adults weight causing issue they said. Also who ever owns this please buy your island employees new chairs. They were under broken tent and broken chairs. Come on. Spend $100 and replace broken items.

  • 5Awesome! Many things to do in one trip!

    This was a great trip for me and my family. We have 18 and 21 year old boys and a 10 year old girl and they all loved it.So much to do for everyone and my son appreciated the beer(just turned 21). Our 2 guides were super friendly and fun and so we're the guys working on land with the kayaks etc. I tried stand up paddle boarding while my husband took my daughter on the kayak. My boys had fun with the inflatables. The snorkling was fun too. My daughter loved it. The boat ride to and from was really enjoyable as well. So worth the money. 3 hours was just the perfect amount of time.
