Adventures at Sea offers two types of water-based tours, which is different from other companies. Waverunner Tours are for those who want to be more adventurous. The guide will take you around the bay and you can set the pace. You can choose to go slow, luxurious or race through the waves. We'll ensure you reach Shell Island safely and sound.

Sea Turtles



If conditions allow it, we sometimes have the opportunity to swim and snorkel alongside dolphins. They are wild dolphins and can think for themselves. We do NOT feed or harass dolphins. This is why we don't guarantee dolphin swimming. All boat tours are guided by the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
