Great dolphin tour and manatee tour!

Great time on the water. Captain Steve and first mate Joanne were super friendly and informative. Saw several dolphins, lots of manatees, and beautiful Herons and pelicans. The osprey in their nest was a special treat! I highly recommend this team for your next wildlife river tour!

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!

Beautiful views

We booked last minute and so happy we did! Capt. Rusty and Pat were great. Pat was very knowledgeable about local wildlife. The cruise was timed perfectly with optimal sunset views. It was such a relaxing ride and the bonus of seeing a dolphin and manatees made it even better. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an evening activity.

Bioluminescence Kayak Tour

Luis_V, Mar 2026

Great guides and a unique night adventure

Even though we didn’t get to see a lot of glowing marine life during our tour, the experience was still very enjoyable. We were lucky to spot a few glowing jellyfish, which was really cool to see up close. Jorge and Jessica were fantastic guides—very patient, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the area and the ecosystem. They took the time to explain the bioluminescence and made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable kayaking at night. Overall, it was a fun and memorable family experience, and we appreciated how well the guides handled the tour. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique nighttime adventure.

We have only kayaked a couple of times previously but this was an enjoyable experience and a good physical workout. It includes some open water rowing but also some interesting maneuvering through mangrove trees. We saw dolphins and a variety of birds but no manatee. Our guide gave kayaking instructions before we got into our kayak. She seemed quite knowledgeable about the area but spoke in an “indoor” voice which was hard for us to hear. But it. Is a nature preserve so one doesn’t want to disturb the wild life with loud noise I guess,

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.

Super cool experience got to see the bioluminescence and got to see beautiful stars and comb jellies! Very friendly and easygoing guides and I would recommend to a friend. We went in October so it wasn’t too cold either but definitely got a little wet and definitely bring bug spray in preparation!

Don’t miss the Musicians, Hall of Fame Museum! An absolutely wonderful experience!

This exceeded all expectations. We thought we’d be in and out in an hour, but three hours later after watching films, doing interactive activities and seeing some of the world class musicians, we are taking home great memories and had a most fantastic time. The staff at the museum was very helpful and friendly and we closed the place down.

Bioluminescence Clear Kayak & Paddleboard Tour – Near Orlando

Diana_D, Jul 2025

Amazing customer service and tour experience!

Had to call office ahead of time and spoke with Lindsay who was so helpful and caring. Logan and Bob were amazing tour guides! They were able to accommodate the extra help needed getting in and out of kayak for my friend who was on crutches. They were friendly, funny, and knowledgeable and definitely knew their way around the lagoon. I went on a kayak tour in Key West in March and the experience was not great because the guide was no where near the level of these guides' customer service, friendliness, and care. Could not recommend more!
