Instead of swimming in front of the dolphins (which is illegal), we will swim parallel with them, instead of reaching out for them (which also violates the law). This will allow them to approach us ethically.
Our dolphin and island tour boats are comfortable, stable 21-foot and 23-foot Carolina Skiffs. These boat features a center console design to maximize open space and allow for easy movement around the boat, a fully cushioned forward deck for observation (and lounging), comfortable cushioned seats for your whole group, large bimini tops for shade, plenty of ice chest space, and quiet, clean four-stroke engines.
Your privacy will always be guaranteed when you take a private dolphin tour. There will only ever be your family or friends on board, along with the captain. Keep in Mind that the Coast Guard sets the maximum number of passengers at 13. All ages welcome.
It was a great time. Christian, our captain, was great. Our group included children from 2 years to 81 years of age. Everyone had a lot of fun. We were able to touch a jellyfish from a cannonball, saw dolphins and went on a boat ride to Shell Island. Christo was friendly, knowledgeable and polite. Christo was our captain and we will be returning. Lagoon Pontoons' booking staff was very friendly and easy to deal with. They were able to answer all our questions and offer suggestions on how to accommodate toddlers and seniors. 5 stars!! !
Cancellations within 24 Hours of the tour's start time are not eligible to receive a refund.
You will find some of the most beautiful beaches and snorkeling spots on Florida's coasts! Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe offer adventure options.
You will arrive at your snorkeling destination where your captain will get in the water with you and show you how to find seashells and other sea life. By choosing this private tour, you will be able to choose how to pass your tour time so that it can be as exactly as you had envisioned it.
This is the trip you want if you are looking for an up-close and personal encounter with the dolphins, not just a sightseeing tour you can choose the activities and how you spend your time on the tour.
Our boats can be used as real diving boats. The children will love to see dolphins and have the chance to snorkel in water just like SCUBA divers.

You can cruise in one of our boats designed for cruising, while you watch beautiful dolphins in the wild and swim with them.
Our purpose is to serve a purpose. We provide Panama City Beach dolphin tours that are educational and allow for a better appreciation and understanding of wildlife. We take precautions to ensure that we don't disturb or harm wildlife. We will be grateful to the dolphins for choosing an eco-tour operator who cares.
We will bring you as close to dolphins and as safe as possible. The dolphins will decide how close or far they want to be able to interact with them. We practice passive observation, which simply means we let the dolphins approach us. Our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay can be extremely playful and interactive. Many of our guests have memorable encounters with them.
Dolphins are most active at dawn, between 10 a.m. and noon, and from 2 p.m. to dusk. A good pair of telephoto lenses or binoculars can be extremely useful for spotting dolphins.
Islamorada and Key Largo are popular locations for seeing the animals in the wild. The Florida Keys are a popular breeding ground for dolphins, so you can see them all year.
