What are people saying about Cocoa Beach

Peggy_K, Apr 2026

Captain Austen who was...

Captain Austen who was very informative. We learned about the amazing birds and sea that we saw.We were able to see dolphins and a manatee and her baby— amazing! Captain Austin has a great sense of humor and made us laugh quite a bit. After we ended the tour, we had a delicious dinner at a restaurant located close to where we initially boarded for our tour. It was a great day!

Dolphin and Manatee Adventure Tour of Merritt Island

Cindy_P, Apr 2026

Quite a GREAT morning tour!

Prior to leaving this morning we received our text from Jack, making sure we knew where to meet and also that all our waivers were signed! Once arriving at MM48 on 520W, he was preparing our kayaks. Once everyone arrived we set off. First thing we saw were manatees frolicking around, as it is mating season! These wonderful creatures were everywhere today! Next we saw a few dolphin feeding, evident by all the birds flying near them. The Indian River Lagoon contains several critical, protected bird islands, and we kayaked over to one of them! I finally sae a few Spoonbills, which I have wanted to see in the wild forever! So cool! We looped the party island and sandbar area, taking a brief break due to increased winds. This area is used highly on the weekends with boaters! Lastly we toured the other side of Bird Island (where we saw so many different species) prior to heading back in! Jack even pointed out a huge Manta Ray to us! Thanks Jack for a wonderful, wildlife filled morning! It was quite an amazing tour!! was an amazing guide this morning!

Dolphin & Manatee Kayaking Tour in Orlando Area

Susan_S, Mar 2026

Perfect trip, amazing guide

If you want to see wildlife up close - Book this trip! Ask for Selena. She led us on a safe, exciting and educational adventure. Dolphins, manatees, flamingoes, alligator, horseshoe crab, numerous fish and birds filled our 2 hour leisurely paddle. Selena’s experience with the environment and animals was extensive. Her respect and admiration of the wildlife was evident. She made my nervous 10year old feel completely at ease with her knowledge and confidence. Unforgettable trip! We will do it again and again.

Cocoa Beach Sunset Tour

Let's Do It, Again!

My family (8) was visiting from northern Minnesota. Needless to say, the warm weather, beauty of the nesting pelicans, and a magnificent sunset...all a fabulous experience! I received a personal hug and "thank you" after the ride. The captain and mate, Jan, were very informative and Jan did a great job at being the photographer.

Great Afternoon on the Water

Bring a jacket or sweater as it can get pretty cool when moving at higher speeds. Bring a hat/visor/sunglasses and your camera! Beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife. Captain Dave was great! He was super knowledgeable and very chill. He even walked back down to where we were after he had taken his boat out of the water and was leaving, just to point out a tortoise to us that was up on the land. He wanted to make sure we saw it. He could have cancelled our tour as we were the only 2 people on board, but he was happy to take us out either way. It was easy to get to the dock and we found him right away. It was a great way to spend an afternoon. We would definitely recomment this tour to everyone.

2 hour Dolphin Sightseeing Tour in Melbourne Florida

Kimberley_A, Oct 2025

Fabulous

So many dolphins to enjoy!!! As soon as we pulled out from the dock, we saw dolphins, including two babies. Once we crossed to the Banana river, the dolphins were jumping and playing. A most amazing experience! Captain Jen and Captain Jack were both great. Captain Jack provided an interesting narrative, and Capt. Jen kindly allowed our three-year-old grandchild to “steer“ the boat. Very memorable experience for our entire family!

Sunset Catamaran Sail in Cocoa Beach

Takara_U, Jul 2025

Kaptain Kris and Captain Andrew Gave us a BEAUTIFUL SUNSET ADVENTURE

The ocean breeze felt amazing as we sailed along the coast. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear water all around. We watched the waves crash against the shore, and the sun reflecting off the water. It was a truly memorable experience, creating lasting memories. We cannot wait to go on another adventure like this. They took pictures and provided them to us! Captain Kris and Andrew were fantastic. They even let me drive the boat. 10/10 would return.

Thousand Islands Bioluminescent Kayak Tour with Cocoa Kayaking!

Anne_K, Jul 2025

Bio-luminescence & Dolphin

Jeff was excellent guide!! Very cool bioluminescence, lots of glowing in the water, lots of fish! At the end, a dolphin decided to circle us, that was really neat too!! I recommend wearing loose clothing, with long sleeves and long pants that can get wet. Will keep the mosquitoes off you better.
