    There were three of us, all newcomers to boards, and our instructor Eva was fantastic. She was incredibly patient and clearly explained everything we needed to know. Our Stand Up Paddle Board lesson was unforgettable, and we appreciated that Pure Aloha Adventures had reasonable prices, especially being women-owned. We're looking forward to booking snorkeling lessons on our next trip. Mahalo, Eva!Christi_B1965

    The Gulf Shore Zoo is small, which is why I gave it four stars. However, the battleship experience was fantastic. If you're a taller, larger person, I wouldn't suggest going into the submarine because of the cramped space.David S

    Explore Gulf Shores in a self-guided scavenger hunt, solving clues while visiting beaches, landmarks, and local shops.

    Visiting Gulf Shores Beach for the first time was an incredible experience. I participated in the Splash and Dash Tour and Scavenger Hunt, which were not only fun but also featured creative and easy challenges that I completed successfully. It was extra special since it was my birthday, and the staff went the extra mile by taking a wonderful birthday photo of me at Sunliner Diner. That gesture really meant a lot, and the pictures are fantastic. If you find yourself in the area, this activity is a must. It’s a unique and enjoyable way to explore the beach.sarahsB3473MF
