Paradise Boat Tours, Bradenton Beach

About Paradise Boat Tours

Paradise Boat Tours operates eco-tours through the waters around Anna Maria Island, where visitors board a 43-passenger vessel to observe dolphins, manatees, fish, rays, and other wildlife in their natural habitat. The boat, a U.S. Coast Guard inspected vessel, features cushioned and covered seating throughout, with a forward viewing area that allows passengers to see in multiple directions. Passengers can walk around the deck during the tour to watch for wildlife from various vantage points while a guide provides narration about the ecosystem and animals sighted. The company runs daily tours at six different times: 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., and at sunset. This activity suits visitors of all ages seeking an up-close experience with local marine life. Trips depart from Bradenton Beach in central Florida. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website.
