We saw Tons of Dolphins & Various other wildlife! The tour guides really knew their cool history & wildlife facts too, plus plenty of funny jokes. We got to have a private tour with just Our family members. Wonderful boat ride, very comfortable seats, clean bathrooms, great views, great wildlife, had drinks available, & Amazing tour Captin, who really knew how to make it a great experience! Definitely will go again next year! MUCH BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER DOLPHIN & MANATEE tours we've ever been on over the years!
Saw a lot of wildlife, dolphins, manatees, and many kinds of birds. It was worth the cost, to see so many beautiful species and ecosystems. In the span of 2 hours, we experienced dolphins up close, birds and their calls. The atmosphere was welcoming and laid back, and willing to work together to spot things. There was 10 people in total. The staff was welcoming and pointed out many wildlife and named them, with facts. This trip is best for those who’d like to really experience and see the ecosystem.
Very good experience! Highly recommend. The tour guides were super friendly, professional, and laid back. We saw Dolphins pretty much the entire time. A few even swam close enough to the boat we could've reached out and touched them. We will definitely make this a must do when on our yearly trip to Cocoa Beach.!
This was a really great tour! Steve and Jacob are so personable and very knowledgeable! They were just as excited to see the dolphins and manatee as the guests! The boat is very comfortable! Highly recommend! What a wonderful day trip. Great, fun guides!
