This was the most amazing time I have ever had!! When it says swim with the dolphins they mean it!! Big shout out to Captain Jacob and First Mate Willow!!!! If you take this trip ask for them!!! Amazing doesn’t even cover this trip!! I was so close to the dolphins multiple times I could have touched them! Because of Captain Jacob’s knowledge of the area we also were able to see the sea turtles up close!

Best excursion I’ve ever been on! Captain Stan took my 6 year old daughter and me out yesterday morning. We did the 9am time slot and happened to have the boat to ourselves for a private tour! Stan ensured we saw so many dolphins, (I swam with them but my daughter didn’t) sea turtles, and my daughter got to explore Shell Island and came home with many shells and sand dollars. He was so knowledgeable about the area and his music kept the positive vibes going all morning long. Make sure to bring snacks! We were hungry after all that exploring and fun!

We saw sea turtle's and dolphin up close. Went snorkeling to see a lot of little creatures. Even with weather unfavorable, the trip was epic.

The Captain was very informative and knew exactly where to go to find dolphins and other sea life. I would highly recommend.

There were six of us (all seniors) visiting from the West Coast, and we all had a blast! Our guide was Captain Jacob, and he was the best...knowledgeable, friendly, fun t o talk with, and just an all-round great guide. He truly was dedicated to making our experience the best. The process of booking and check-in was also easy and customer friendly.
During the tour only a couple of us actually got in the water because the water temp was only around 70 degrees, but still quite bearable, and we we still saw plenty of dolphins up close. Captain Jacob then took us to an area where sea turtles hang-out, and finally over to Shell Island.
We all had a wonderful time, and could have stayed out on the water all day. Captain Jacob made the tour so fun and interesting. I highly recommend Lagoon Pontoons, and especially Captain Jacob if you can get him.
