Living in Florida can have a lot of perks. But we often get so caught up in daily life that we forget to stop and smell the salty air. I know for me personally, I can become so consumed with the routine of everyday living that I forget I live in a tropical paradise! If you’re anything like me and want to remember what it’s like to indulge in some of the sunshine, saltwater, and sand Florida offers, we have the perfect escape. Courtesy of Viator, a TripAdvisor experience company, there is a Shell Island Snorkel and Dolphin Catamaran Cruise that will take you to Shell Island for one of the best day trip experiences you can have.

Climb aboard "Island Time," a splendid 50-foot sailing catamaran, for an unforgettable adventure in the pristine waters around Shell Island.
