Captain Jack was extraordinary. He was extremely informed. He helped us choose the most important thing and we chose dolphin sightings for the majority.
We’ll get you as close to dolphins as we possibly can while also guaranteeing your safety and theirs. Ultimately, it’s up to the dolphins how close they want to get and how much they want to interact. We practice what we call “passive observation,” which means — in simple terms — that we let the dolphins come to us. Our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay are extraordinarily playful and interactive, though, and our guests frequently have amazing encounters they’ll remember the rest of their lives.

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!! !

You and your group will go in the water together before the dolphins do. You and your group will then be able to get into the water before the dolphins do. Instead of swimming away, they will become curious about you. Because dolphins are wild animals and will be curious about you, you should not try to stimulate their curiosity. This can be explained by people who show no caring and only become interested in someone they're dating. This is how Mom met your dad.
