Paradise Excursions

As a travel advisor, I am always on the hunt for experiences to make clients trips the most memorable and let me tell you, I am so glad I stumbled upon this company! My family recently had the chance to tour with Paradise Excursions for a full day, private tour and it met our expectations + so much more. The booking process was seamless. Emily was so detailed and informative when it came to the email booking - I knew we were in great hands. Tour day came and we were greeted on the beach by Captain JR & Mate Thomas who were so kind, friendly, informative but most importantly, FUN! They were able to hit all of the places we were interested in + more. We had an excellent beach side BBQ and access to snacks + drinks all day long. I am so, so glad we experienced the island with these two as I feel that we were able to experience the real island vs the touristy locations. Captain JR was awesome with timing too. Each location we arrived at was either quiet or the other boats were just leaving so we had a lot of privacy at our stops. They knew we were interested in dolphins so when they had a hunch of where they were, they had us quickly pack up to get over to them so we would not miss Dreamer, who was the sweetest & most playful dolphin you can imagine. I will absolutely be recommending Paradise Excursions to friends, family, clients and anyone who will listen! This is an experience you will never forget + was truly the highlight of our trip! If you want to experience Turks the island way, look no further!

We had a good 1/2 day on the water, the crew were very friendly, baked us a great lunch on the beach. Snorkeling was excellent, however we specifically booked for 2 things… snorkeling with turtles and the visit to iguana island and didn’t do either. When mentioned after the trip, we were told “snorkeling is a challenge” even though the turtle area was the flattest of the whole day. After a visit to Noah’s ark, as we are heading back to port I asked about Iguana Island, and told we were out of time, and we wouldn’t have any time there. Told later that “we chose not to get off the boat” when he pulled close to the shore at the iguana beach, when it was never even mentioned as an option. Having done Iguana Island experience in the past by ourselves we had really hoped to share this experience with our family.

We had a great half day on the water with Paradise Excursions! If you’re looking for a private boat trip we highly recommend them. Emily was very responsive during the booking process. Captain JR and mate Omar were great! Engaging and very knowledgeable about the spots they take you to. Totally customizable – if you know where you want to go they’ll take you. If you’re not sure they have plenty of recommendations to make it a memorable trip. Plus they grilled us an awesome lunch – we had burgers, corn, shrimp with onions and peppers, fruit, chips, etc. Delicious. And bottomless rum punch, beer, water, and soft drinks. Between the beauty of the locations and the great crew it makes for a memorable day! Highly recommend Paradise Excursions and JR/Omar!

Jr and Omar did a great job making sure we got what we wanted. Ask and you get it. Unlimited drinks for all and tried to catch lobster, but not this time! Great relaxing day. Plenty of shade on the boat and Jr can cook.They took is to iguana island. The beach on the other side is beautiful. The abandoned ship is really cool.Time went way too fast. Need 2 days on the boat! Highly recommend this trip. Thank you guys.

We had a great time with Paradise Excursions this past week in TCI. We did two private boat tours for 3 of us and this was the second and third time we’ve had J.R. as a captain and he is absolutely awesome! His first mate Omar was just as awesome and accommodating. Super helpful with my mom who had knee surgery and doesn’t move as well as she once did! They’re patient and very kind. We did a half day tour and a sunset tour. We got to snorkel with turtles, swim with Jojo and Dreamer the dolphins, go to Drakes tiki bar, see and jump off the abandoned ship, and visit one of the iguana islands. They provide all the snacks and drinks you need and make a wonderful meal on the beach for you as well. Emily, the kind lady I used to arrange these trips was great as well and quick to respond with any questions or requests. We will definitely be using them again in the future. I suggest you request JR and Omar! Thanks again guys.
