It was wonderful! Christian, our captain was an excellent choice. The group consisted of children ranging in age from 2 to 81. It was a great experience for all. We had fun on the boat ride, touched cannonball jellyfish and saw dolphins. Christo was very friendly, knowledgeable, and polite. Christo will be our captain. We will certainly return. Lagoon Pontoons staff were friendly and easy-going. They answered all our questions, and even offered suggestions to accommodate seniors and toddlers. 5 stars!! !

Your captain will direct you in the right direction so that you can see the dolphins close up.
On your excursion you'll visit Panama City Pass as well as the area where St. Andrews Bay merges with the Gulf of Mexico. There are many dolphins in this area. We'll show you how to interact.
St. Andrews Bay Charters provides private charters to Panama City for up 12 people. This makes it more intimate and personal, but also safer as you will not be sharing the boat or with others.
For your Florida vacation, you want a fun and unique experience. Gabby's Dolphin Tours PCB has more information about Shell Island snorkeling, and dolphin tours. We look forward seeing you soon!
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.
Panama City dolphin tours and Shell Island trips with St. Andrews Bay Charters are small, private charters, for a maximum of 12 guests (no more than 6 per boat). This not only allows for a much more intimate and interactive experience but also a safer trip since you won’t be sharing the boat with anyone outside your party.
To ensure that you have the best experience possible, our captains will give you many options for how to spend your time. You can snorkel the grass flats at Shell Island and the jetties. You might enjoy a stroll on the beach to see starfish, starfish, crabs and fish of all types during this incredible eco tour.
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.
