Boat Tours are fun for all ages. Lagoon Pontoons Boat Tours are the best option for those who want to just relax and enjoy the breathtaking views.
The captain will show you numerous options so you can get the most from your dolphin tour. One of the options is snorkeling in the grass flats on Shell Island or at the jetties. Enjoy a walk on sand to find starfish, crabs starsfish, fish & birds. This amazing eco tour is a great way to get out and about.
You will enter the water before the dolphins arrive. In this manner, the dolphins will get curious and instead of swimming away, they’ll be drawn towards us. The dolphins can be finicky and the more we "pretend" they are not there, the more curious they become.
Boat Tours are fun for the entire family, no matter what their age. When you just want to relax, take in the beautiful views, and go swimming with our most famous residents, the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins, a Lagoon Pontoons boat tour is just what you need.

Swim parallel to the dolphins and not towards them or reaching to them (also illegal), we will let the dolphins come to you (best, most ethical).
We also often see manatees. Manatees can be seen if conditions permit. However, we prefer passive observation so that they are not tempted to approach us.
Instead of swimming in front of the dolphins (which is illegal), we will swim parallel with them, instead of reaching out for them (which also violates the law). This will allow them to approach us ethically.
Captain Jack was extraordinary. He was extremely informed. He helped us choose the most important thing and we chose dolphin sightings for the majority.

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.
