Also, manatees are often seen. Manatees are sometimes seen in the water, although you can enter the water if it is safe. We practice passive observation and do not approach them.
If conditions permit guests are welcome to swim with dolphins in the waters if this is possible. Safety is our first priority. Your captain will teach you how to safely snorkel with marine mammals.
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.
We depart from the docks at Off the Hook Bar & Grill located at the foot the Thomas Drive bridge, 1101 Bayview Avenue Panama City FL 322401.
Swimming parallel with the dolphins rather than swimming toward them or reaching out for them (this is also illegal), we will allow the dolphins to come to us (best, most ethical method).
Captain Jack was amazing. He was extremely well-informed. He allowed us to choose what was important. We chose dolphin sightings for most of our time."
We can accommodate up to 6 persons per boat. A maximum of 12 people is allowed. We can accommodate groups up to six people on each boat.
This can be explained by people who seem to only get interested in someone when they show little care. Ask your mom, she may have been in the same situation when you were dating your dad.

We had a wonderful trip! Christian, our captain, was an outstanding leader. We had everyone have fun, from children as young as 2 years old to those who are 81 years. We got to see dolphins, touched a jellyfish made of cannonballs, went to Shell Island and enjoyed the boat ride. Christo was extremely polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. Christo is our captain. Lagoon Pontoons booking staff was helpful and friendly. They answered all of my questions and offered suggestions for senior citizens and toddlers. 5 stars!! !
This was the highlight of our Florida vacation. We felt secure, enjoyed our trip, and also learned a lot. Captain Jack was kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating."

We had a wonderful experience. The captain was an amazing captain. Even showed us a jellyfish type that doesn’t sting. We stopped at a beach with lots of shells. All had a great experience and will certainly return.
It's all worth it once you get there because the water is the most beautiful I've ever seen. The water is so clear that it feels like you're swimming in a pool. We had no idea what to expect, so we went with the intention of spending a few hours on the island. Come prepared to spend the entire day!
Dolphins, loggerhead turtles, green sea turtles, ghost crabs, beach mice, nine-banded armadillos, alligators that live in the island's lake, marsh rabbits, racoons, and other wildlife can be found on Shell Island.
Wear nothing but a swimsuit. Dolphins have extremely sensitive skin, and because you will be able to touch them during your interaction, we recommend that you refrain from wearing sunscreen, oils, or perfumes.
