Wonderful Sunset Cruise!

This sunset cruise was so much fun! Our guide and driver went out of their way to ensure that everyone had a memorable trip. They pointed out so much wildlife throughout the 90 minute cruise.

Cocoa Beach Dolphin and Wildlife Tour

Eleanor_S, Jul 2026

Convenient

This is 10 minutes by car from the port canaveral cruise terminal. We booked for 10am, able to bring our luggage onto the boat and still made it to catch our flight at 6pm. We saw dolphins, manatees and many birds. The operator was easy to reach before I booked and answered my questions. Booking and getting to the excursion was simple and convenient

Did the 8p tour. Had a nice paddle out right at sunset. Saw a little wildlife with birds, manatee, and jellyfish. Guides were super friendly and took it at a leisurely pace. The bioluminescence was harder to take a picture of it, however, you can clearly see it when you move the water around. Great time!

Bioluminescence Kayak Tour

SHARI_E, Jul 2026

Great Experience

It was wonderful and the guides (Dillon, Matthew and Jessica) were awesome, very informative and made the experience fun. A bonus was they did fireworks in Port Canaveral that night, so we got to see that while we were kayaking. I would recommend this for everyone.

Amanda_J, Jun 2026

Fun family experience!

Had a great time kayaking the banana river Lagoon with my daughter. Our guide was very patient since we are not expert kayakers. We saw lots of wildlife even a manatee or two. My favorite part was going through the mangroves very tranquil. Be sure to have a hat and wear sunscreen.

Manatee and Dolphin Kayak Tour

Michael_W, Jun 2026

This is a great kayak...

This is a great kayak tour for everyone. There is plenty of time from when you enter the water to learn how to navigate the kayak if you have never been in one before. I had an 8 year old in the front of the tandem kayak just along for the tour and had no problems maneuvering the kayak by myself. Dan the tour guide was great and answered any and all questions that we had

2 hour Dolphin Sightseeing Tour in Melbourne Florida

Jennifer_L, Apr 2026

Highly Recommend!!

Captain Jen and Captain Jack were incredible. Jack drove the boat while Jen talked majority of the time giving us fun facts. She was super knowledgeable and spoke so adequately. We saw a ton of dolphins! They even swam up to the boat and were able to take great pics! Sadly it was too windy so no manatees. Highly recommend this tour. Well worth the money! (Also don’t panic when you get to the dock and don’t see a boat. They will be arrive on time!)

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 and Manatee Boat Tour from Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral

This was an excellent...

This was an excellent tour, and we had a great time. We saw a lot of dolphins and manatees. Curt, our captain, did a wonderful job, and made it a lot of fun for us. He was very friendly and personable and we enjoyed our time with him. The boat holds up to 6 passengers, which we really liked, because it was much easier to see all around the boat. I feel we would have missed seeing some of the animal activity if we'd been on a larger boat. All in all, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this company.

Mangrove Tunnels, Dolphins, Manatee Tour #1 Rated in Cocoa Beach

Kaylie_S, Jan 2026

Try Something New

If you have any questions before the tour you can text them. They were quick to respond and put my concerns at ease . I had never been kayaking before and I had no problems manuvering. If it's going to be cold bring a towel for sure! You can expect to get wet just from the water run off from your paddle. Remember that there are no guarantees to see certain wildlife. We saw two dolphins, but it was too cold for manatees. There were lots of birds throughout the journey. The tunnels still made it a super cool experience though. Enjoy your time on the water! I was in a small group with only two others and the guide. It was a super chill vibe. Loved the experience.

An Amazing Family Adventure

This tour was amazing! We saw manatees, dolphins, alligators and many birds. The kayaking was easy and the water was calm. Our guide Terrance was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of history of the area and about the wildlife. He even took photos of us throughout the adventure for no additional cost. This was the perfect way to spend our Thanksgiving day!
