5.00Captain Stan was incredible! He made it his mission to get us to see dolphins and gave us the opportunity to dive with them. Our tour was so amazing that we rebooked a second tour during our week stay in PCB. I would recommend anyone to Island Lagoon and ask for Captain Stan.

5.00We had a great time swimming and got pretty close to the dolphins. The captain did his best to set up up to see them close and personal. The snorkeling on shell island was a lot of fun. I recommend bringing a waterproof phone case to record the sealife.
The family loved it!!!!

5.00We were celebrating my daughter's birthday and she wanted to see dolphins up close & personal. When I called Lagoon Pontoon Emily got us scheduled in a friendly & professional manner. The tour was reasonable priced as well. When we arrived I was floored at how beautiful The Dock space is where you wait for your tour to start. We had a delicious meal before our tour and a refreshing beverage afterwards. Jason, our captain, was superb! He was knowledgeable, friendly, very skilled at navigating the boat and at finding dolphins (smile). Thank you for making a key part of our trip so enjoyable & memorable! I highly recommend Lagoon Pontoon over every other company!
10/10 will go again!

5.00We had an amazing experience with captain Stan. We were able to swim with the dolphins although we know that can’t happen every time. He also made sure we were able to see any animals around us and then also took us to the best part of shell island to snorkel. Our kids are still talking about how amazing it was. We will definitely be booking again next time we’re in town!
Great experience
