“2 hours of bliss. We saw 20 dolphins, 2 manatees, a tarpon, and a sting ray. This was our first time on a jet ski and hope it isn’t the last. The jet skis were brand new. The seats very comfortable. It took a few minutes to acclimate to the throttle but after that, gun ho! We went all around Shell Island and the water was just beautiful. The staff is very friendly at the desk and we made our reservations by phone with ease. The best money we spent on vacation.”

What our customers say about our Jet Ski Dolphin Adventure Tours
Fantastic jet ski guided tour with Shawn! My nephew and I had a blast! We got to go wide open on the jet skis during many parts, saw a family of dolphins, and the most amazing school of about 30 stingrays right off Shell Island! Shawn worked hard to make sure we were comfortable with the speeds, and to find dolphins. We will definitely be back!!!
We are a family of five with 3 kids under 12, so we were a little hesitant to take them on jet skis in the ocean as their first jet ski ride. That being said, we booked anyhow and regret not doing it sooner. The kids had a wonderful time and our guide, Shawn, was absolutely amazing! He took the time to make sure the kids had a blast on the jet skis and interact with dolphins. We could all tell he loves his job and it made the experience all the more incredible. Anytime we are in town, we will definitely book this tour again and request Shawn. Wonderful experience and phenomenal tour guide!!
10/10 RECOMMEND!!!! We had the time of our lives on the jetski dolphin tour!!! Ethan was outstanding and led us straight to the dolphins!!! I cannot recommend this experience enough. Jet skiing with the dolphins, with Lagoon Pontoons, will be something we do every time we come to PCB!! THANK YOU for giving us the greatest experience of our lives, Ethan😊
We had a little issue with our original booking which was all our fault and the manager and one of her assistant stepped in and save the day. It was a wonderful trip we had a great time on the pontoons and we could’ve asked for a better day. We had great memories with our grandchildren and I would recommend it to all of you. I would do it again in a heartbeat
Had an absolute blast Labor Day weekend (Saturday) on a guided Jet Ski Tour, with Tour Guide Cody. It was a fairly large jet ski group, sold out at 8 I think, and he still had us ZOOMing, a ton of places to go flat out, trying to get up to their max speed of 50mph, which we did quite a few times --absolutely exhilarating. It was ROUGH out, 2 of the jet skis that were inexperienced even said nope and bailed, and Cody had to escort them back. But he warned us all at the start that it was very choppy and bumpy out there, we would be getting thrown around a bit, and having to haul a$$ around all the traffic--but was an intensely fun time! Not for the faint of heart, I couldn't imagine any first timers going out, almost got thrown a dozen times from the rough waves, but that's half the fun. All of us that remained had been on them before, and there were a few that had grown up on jet skis and were really good, and I don't profess to be an expert by any means, but even those seasoned veterans said it was pretty rough out. Of course this is the weather we had, so it is going to be different for everyone, I would maybe call ahead and ask them what the water is like if you're new/inexperienced. Cody was a blast as a tour guide, he honesty told us that we probably wouldn't see any dolphins because of the recent hurricane, all the boat traffic from the busy weekend, and the horribly murky water because of the storms, but he seriously made up for it with the fun ride-- and who cares when you're blasting through waves catching air at 49mph lol?? That was way more fun than searching for Flipper. We stopped for a quick break on Shell Island --the water on the gulf side is INSANE, so gorgeous and clear, (we saw a sea turtle and a giant crab the size of a plate, should be a stop for everyone visiting PCB). 30 minutes to catch you breath/cool off in the gulf, and then back on for more fun. I can't tell you what a blast we had, highly recommend this for those looking for some thrills, and Cody really was excellent-- I hope his boss gives him a pack of beer for giving his customers such an entertaining 2 hours. Will definitely go again next time, and will be the highlight of the trip like it was this time!
