We'll bring you as close as possible and ensure your safety as well as their safety. The dolphins decide how close they want and how much interaction they want. "Passive observation" is a practice that allows dolphins to approach us. Our guests often have unforgettable encounters with dolphins at St. Andrews Bay. They are playful and interactive and will always remember them.
The water is home to a variety of birds. There are raptors like bald and ospreys. There are also shorebirds like great blu egrets. And there are seabirds like majestic frigatebirds. Sometimes we see deer.
Starfish, bay scallops and starfish are all common species. We also see conchs upto 21 inches in length, seahorses, urchins, hermit crabs, and other crab species. These animals can easily be brought to the surface, photographed, and handled with care. So that anyone can view them, even those who are not snorkers, we bring large containers. Any shells found with no living creatures can be taken home.
We also visit Shell Island on our dolphin and island tour. This is where you can swim, fish, dive, search for shells and, if the conditions are right, snorkel in the clear, protected waters to see a variety of marine life.

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!! !

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.
