"We had soo much fun today playing on Shell Island, swimming with the dolphins, snorkeling and having fun! I would recommend this company. This was the highlight on our vacation." - Christy
Boat tours are great for all ages. A Lagoon Pontoons boat trip is the perfect way to unwind, enjoy the stunning views and swim with the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins.
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.

Before the dolphins arrive you will be able to enter the water. Dolphins will become more curious about you and swim away from you. Dolphins can be picky and we have to "pretend" that they are not there. The more curious they become, the better.
If conditions allow, guests are welcome to get in the water when dolphins are nearby. Safety is always our first priority, and your captain will instruct you how to safely snorkel around marine mammals.
You can be your own guide by renting a pontoon boat! Rentable pontoon boats are also available for those visitors who prefer to take control of their own boat. We will send you a Map that shows where we recommend snorkeling, sandbars or common areas for dolphin sightings.

Children will love snorkeling in the ocean with SCUBA divers and finding dolphins.

Seeing and swimming with the dolphins in their natural habitat on your trip aboard super-comfortable boats. Our boats are actual dive boats so the children will love finding and seeing the dolphins and having the opportunity to snorkel in the water just like a real SCUBA diver.
Your excursion will take you to Panama City Pass and show you the area where St. Andrews Bay converges with the Gulf of Mexico. We will guide you in how to interact and interact with dolphins.
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.
