So the rest of the day we went to shallow waters and I can't even call it snorkeling because we weren't given a snorkel! So we just had a snorkel mask, no snorkel, and spent the rest of the day in either a cove with a ton of other boats or at a shallow estuary. If you get unlucky and someone in the boat doesn't want to swim with dolphins then you will be doing something else the rest of the trip. They said the snorkel gets in the way and too many people fiddle with it while swimming with the dolphins. I get it. But don't call it a snorkel trip and then don't give us a snorkel, and take us to places where we needed a snorkel. We would have been happier with a pair of goggles if that was the case.

As I was traveling abroad, I did not have any beach chairs or an umbrella. Also needed a cooler as the temps were at 90+. I called the number provided numerous times. Each call ended with "sorry the mailbox is full". So my only option was to drive (which was 40 min). When I went to booth for the snorkel gear, was told they no longer had rentals there. They directed me to drive across the bridge. Only option was to buy everything which totaled over $125.00. Needless to say...a very expensive snorkel trip!

Captain Jacob and his deck mate Liz are amazing. Jacob after a very thorough safety talk and a hands on way to safely move around the boat gave us a perfect tour. Jacob was knowledgeable of the area.

Liz excelled with taking care of every need of us the guests. They supplied beverages of many varieties and Liz prepared and presented the food that we brought for our cruise. We had a friend with us that was afraid of water, not able to swim, and Liz checked in her regularly to make sure she was comfortable. Both Jacob and Liz made sure safety was the number one priority without taking away from the fun asking experience. We were under the sails for quite a while The entire experience was fantastic. Thank You Jacob and Liz.

I've been on several dolphin tours and this one was hands down the best! The company strategically uses two "boats" that creates these awesome waves that the dolphins love to play in. There were drinks and snacks available for purchase and music playing on the speakers as you watched for the sweet dolphins which really made it feel like a party on the waves. We were encouraged to get up and walk the boat as well. The captain and other crew were very informative and eager to answer any and all questions about the excursion. There is a little gift shop to purchase items and a photo opp before boarding that's optional. Your picture is given to you when you exit if you choose to purchase it. To be honest, I don't remember the cost of the trip but I don't think it was super expensive. I enjoyed everything about this excursion and look forward to going on it again on my next trip to PCB!

Barges and boats will dock here and there is frequently a concession boat since the island has no amenities. A little walk towards the gulf will bring you midway to a "kiddie pool" safe for kids to swim and play in or adults to relax. The water is truly great in both those spots. The gulf here is absolutely beautiful. There are small intact and crushed shells on the beach line and in the water about knee deep there are medium shells if you dig around. Waist deep are where the large shells are. There are plenty of these but you have to work for them. Bring goggles, flippers, etc. and it will be easy. We went on a day when the jelly larva were swarming so we stayed knee deep and still enjoyed ourselves and got a few good shells. If there had been no jellies we could have found A LOT more and bigger ones for sure. The further you walk down the gulf side the more secluded you will be. Get there on first boat out!

We did the 2 hour tour but next time, we would recommend the 3 hour tour. Highly encourage you to schedule you a tour!
