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.
There are many birds that can be seen out of water. They include raptors like bald Eagles and Ospreys as well as shorebirds like great Blue Herons and Egrets. Seabirds include magnificent frigatebirds (terns) and terns. There are also deer sometimes found on the island.
This is the trip you want if you are looking for an up-close and personal encounter with the dolphins, not just a sightseeing tour you can choose the activities and how you spend your time on the tour.
