This Dolphin Tour boat, unlike larger vessels that can hold up to 175 people, can only carry six passengers. Larger groups are known to make a lot too much noise and disturb the dolphins. This can drive them away. The best part about our service is that you will be able to get in the water quickly and without scaring the dolphins.
It was wonderful! Christian, our captain was an excellent choice. The group consisted of children ranging in age from 2 to 81. It was a great experience for all. We had fun on the boat ride, touched cannonball jellyfish and saw dolphins. Christo was very friendly, knowledgeable, and polite. Christo will be our captain. We will certainly return. Lagoon Pontoons staff were friendly and easy-going. They answered all our questions, and even offered suggestions to accommodate seniors and toddlers. 5 stars!! !
