Our mission is to work with a purpose: By providing Panama City Beach dolphin tours as educational experiences, which allows a greater understanding and appreciation of wildlife. We are an eco-friendly tour and take steps to make sure we do not disturb or harm any wildlife. The dolphins will thank you for choosing an eco-tour outfitter who cares, we will too.
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.
Your privacy will be assured on your private dolphin tour. You and your group will only be allowed to board the boat with your captain. The Coast Guard has limited the number of passengers to 6, with children of all ages.

We had a wonderful time! Our captain, Christian, was excellent. We had a group from 2 yrs to 81 years old, and everyone had fun. We saw dolphins, touched a cannonball jellyfish, went to Shell Island, and enjoyed the boat ride. Christo was knowledgeable, friendly and very polite. We will definitely be back and will request Christo as our captain. The booking staff at Lagoon Pontoons was friendly and easy to work with. They answered all of our questions and even helped with suggestions for accommodating toddlers and senior citizens. 5 stars!!!

Relax and unwind while your private USCG captain/tour guide takes you to watch some breathtaking sunsets and views that can only be seen on the water. Bring your favorite beverage & or snacks if you like while you enjoy the evening.
Your group will jump into the water first before the dolphins. This will make the dolphins curious and they will swim towards you instead of away. Since dolphins are wild animals, it is best to be uninterested in them. This can be attributed to those who are only interested in someone when they show little care. This is probably how mom met your dad.
Before the dolphins arrive, you will be in the water. The dolphins will be attracted to you because they are curious. Dolphins are finicky creatures and will be more curious if we pretend they're not there.
Our Carolina Skiffs, 21-foot and 23,-foot Carolina Skiffs, are stable and comfortable. These boats have a center console design to maximise open space and allow for easy movement about the boat. They also feature a fully cushioned forward platform for observation (and lounging), plus comfortable cushions for everyone in your group.
There are many birds that can be seen out of water. They include raptors like bald Eagles and Ospreys as well as shorebirds like great Blue Herons and Egrets. Seabirds include magnificent frigatebirds (terns) and terns. There are also deer sometimes found on the island.
Over many years of observing the dolphins’ natural behaviors, our guides are experts at locating bottlenose dolphins and safely instructing our guests on how to enter the water and observe them in their natural habitat. Plus, your captain will snorkel alongside you to show you starfish, pufferfish, welch conchs, sand dollars, and various other types of sea creatures.
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.
