Cocoa Beach Dolphin And Wildlife Tour

The boat trip was very well organised and the crew very knowledgeable and helpful. They knew the best places to look for Dolphins and Pelicans so we got to see plenty of both. Refreshments were available on board and made a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours on the water.

relaxing beautiful ride on the river to see dolphins and birds. Convenient and comfortable, water and drinks available on board. Good naturalist information throughout.

Diane & Bill were very nice & knew the area well. They pointed out fish & bird life in the area and made sure we saw dolphins.

Very relaxing and informative. This was a nice cruise. The Capatin and First Mate made it enjoyable. Loved his dry jokes!

Great pickup spot, our tour guides Diane and Captain Bill were awesome! Right out of the dock they pointed out Dolphins! Saw about 20 dolphins and a manatee and her baby further along the ride. They gave us information about the area and history. Best tour I have been on for seeing wildlife! Thanks!!!

Very easy and laid back trip! About 2 hours on a pontoon boat with Captain Jen and Captain Andrew! Saw lots of wildlife including dolphins and pelicans! So relaxing and took in the wonders of the Banana River!

Very nice! Worth going 🙃 went with my european dad. It was his first time in Coco beach. He enjoyed it a lot. Thank you!

Had a wonderful experience with Cody and the captain. We saw assorted species of birds, manatees and many dolphin families. Also a nice mix of natural beauty and waterfront properties.

Excellent boat trip. Clean, informative, FUN, saw lots of dolphins, birds. Very safe. Dakota knew many facts.

Easy to board the boat. Very calm water so it is safe for all ages. The narrative was very informative. We saw a lot of water foul and learned the names of each. There were lots of dolphins surfacing close to the boat. It was a very nice tour.

Joe and Dakota are an awesome team. He is the dolphin finder and she just knows things. They are fun, funny and great tour guides. We saw dolphins, birds, manatees and beautiful homes on our tour. We stopped to see the dolphins in their natural habitat. All in all a great tour. Highly recommend!

Fun experience. We saw lots of Dolphin, Manatee and Wildlife and lots of beautiful homes.

From the minute we turned up, Joe and Dicota were welcoming and made our experience with them enjoyable. Sharing knowledge of the area and wildlife as we meandered around the mangroves. It was an easy paced afternoon, and they took the time to ensure when we did see or spot the wildlife we could get some great pictures and make some wonderful memories. Thank you for your time,

Great, alleviated my concerns of being eaten by a dolphin or any of the wildlife the great crew identified and ponted out! Seriously a lovely time. Believe it was Joe and Dakota working.

Joanne and Drew provided great information. We saw a few dolphins and a few manatees noses but it was worth the time. Very enjoyable ride, great conversation and interaction. We will come back again. Thanks for a great trip!!

We spent a great 2 hours on this trip. It was great seeing dolphins & manatees in their natural habitat. We also saw a great variety of different birds throughout the trip. Captain Andrew & his first mate were extremely knowledgeable & took great care to ensure everyone of all ages got the most of their trip. I booked for my trip about 2 weeks in advance, but when other family members decided they too wanted to come it was easy to book them on. The Captain contacted their office to resolve a slight booking mishap, my error. I honestly didn’t deliberately book my family on for the day after me. 😉 It was quickly & easily resolved thankfully. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough, it’s an enjoyable 2hour trip & the ticket price was very reasonable.

Captain Joe and Patrick did a great job of spotting, identifying, and explaining area wildlife.

We had a wonderful time! There were SO MANY DOLPHINS, playing all around the boat. The tour leaders were great, really friendly and fun. No problems with tickets or parking.

The manatee part was a bit disappointing comparing it to videos I’ve seen of the manatees in crystal clear waters. But, water clarity is not their fault for sure. The great part of the tour was the dolphins. We got to see dozens of them. We saw a group fishing together corralling their prey, we saw an osprey swoop down and catch a fish, baby dolphins, and had them swimming and playing right around the boat. Definitely a memorable tour and our guides were fun and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to recommend this tour to others.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Sunset Cruise! Captain Andrew and Captain Dakota were fantastic. We had the full experience on this one.. Many dolphins, manatees, amazing birdlife, a cute little raccoon, pelicans galore and so much more! And we saw all this while the sun was setting into one of the most spectacular displays of the sky we've ever seen. Such amazing colors and energy. Our guides were fun, entertaining and knowledgable. Absolutely recommend this for any one of all ages. So worth the money we spent! 10 out of 10 experience.

Good time. Saw lots of wildlife.

It's a 2 hr tour & we saw lots of dolphins some manatees and had a wonderful boat ride. Captains Steve & Dakota were friendly and knowledgible on both wildlife,the area & plants & trees. The only complaint would be parking. My husband is disabled so walk from parking to boat was hard for him. parking is by the the hour so you actually pay for 3hrs

Dakota was an awesome tour guide

It was pretty neat to see the dolphins, manatees and heron birds. You have to be pretty fast to snap photos or videos. The guides were very knowledgeable and gave lots of cool information. My only suggestion would be to add some fans!

Experience itself was good, see many wildlife. but found much cheaper tickets from other platform, which made it not worth it

Fun, relaxing time traveling via an open air boat. Spotted dolphins, manatee and sea birds. The captains were knowledgable and went out of their way to engage the kids.

Captains were very cordial and knowledgeable. Entire trip was family friendly and 100% worth the price.

Great guys running the show. Great job lits if dolphins

Great tour with friendly and knowledgeable guides who clearly care for the river and it's wildlife. They showed us dolphins, manatees, and a range of birds, and explained about the mangroves, how different animals behave and so much more.

This is not Seaworld. Wild dolphins and manatees are elusive and they can be scarce. The tour is especially interesting for anyone who hasn't experienced Florida before. Some days, you might see a lot of activity, some days not so much. Figuring out the parking app can be a little intimidating. Bring your patience with you. The captain and crew try really hard to give you a humorous and educational experience.

Saw dolphins, manatees and lots of birds and fish. Would recommend this trip. The guide and captain were awesome.

This is the best dolphins/manatee tour in Florida. I live in Cocoa Beach and take all my visitiors on this tour. Steve and Pat are a great pair and make sure you get more than your money’s worth.

I absolutely loved the Captain and the host! They were so friendly and informative. I’m doing this again when I come back to Cocoa Beach!!

We had a great time on the boat! We saw lots of dolphins and manatees! Unfortunately, a storm rolled in 10 minutes before we were supposed to board the boat, so we needed to hang back and wait til it cleared. We were able to have a snack and drinks at the restaurant that is right there - (great service there too!). The crew worked hard to get us out onto the water to see all the wonderful creatures. When we got on the boat, we were provided with ponchos to sit on because the seats were so wet. Unfortunately, once we got out on the water, it began to rain again, but we were able to stay out to enjoy seeing the animals. A big thank you to the crew for making the journey possible, despite the weather!

Our family had a great time and saw dolphins and manatees up close, so thanks again for the experience!

Diane and Joe were awesome guides/captains! Highly recommend this excursion for anyone.

Captain David did such an amazing job taking us to see the manatees and dolphins. There were so many to see that it made the trip so worth it. Our guide, whose name slips me did such a great job as well. Her knowledge of the area was extensive.

We had a great time. The crew was very friendly and informative.

Capt. Brian and guide Diane were fun and informative. My grandchildren, husband, and I all say that this was the best part of our visit. Capt. Brian showed us dolphin almost immediately as well as manatee. There was so much to see during the trip. The boat ride was pleasant and cool in the breeze. There is a bathroom if needed and drinks can be purchased. Capt. Brian was so sweet to the kids and let them “take the wheel” for a picture. (Only a picture! No actual driving involved!) Also, this trip was super affordable. Less than $80 for 2 seniors and 2 kids. Great time!

Captain Brian and Diane were wonderful guides. It was THE most amazing 2 hour experience with so many dolphins playing in the water next to our boat and manatee families frolicking in the lagoon. It was our second time going as a family, and we will continue to come back as a tradition.

Great experience that I did with my friend as two adults in late July 2026. I would recommend . Guide was very knowledgeable about wildlife and nature native to area that we came across.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our dolphin tour in Cocoa Beach was absolutely incredible! Our guide was far more than just a boat captain—he was an amazing educator who made the entire experience unforgettable. His knowledge of the local ecosystem was outstanding. He taught us about the different trees, the wildlife, the various bird species, and even explained how to spot where dolphins were about to surface by recognizing the subtle signs in the water. He also shared fascinating information about the local real estate and the history of the area, making the tour both entertaining and educational. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does and enjoys sharing that passion with his guests. We saw dolphins, learned so much about the environment, and left with a whole new appreciation for Cocoa Beach. This was truly an over-the-top, first-class experience. If you're looking for a dolphin tour, I highly recommend this company and especially this guide. You won't be disappointed!

the trip was fun and both men were great about spotting dolphins and manatees. The weather blew in unexpectedly and our trip was cut short due to the weather. Still a great experience on the water.

We really enjoyed the tour- our captain and guide were both very knowledgeable and really made the trip entertaining. It was great to see the wildlife and hear about the history of the area.

The boat tour was enjoyable however we felt that too much time was spent around the mangroves (approx 1 hr 25 mins) and only about 15 mins looking for dolphins which are probably the main attraction. We did see dolphins after a bit of searching but more time would have made a difference as our 8 yr old became a bit bored looking at birds and houses. The tour guide Bill was very good and knowledgeable.

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

Nice calm ride where you are able to see lots of wild life including birds, manatee, and dolphins...

Captain Rusty and Diane are great to take the tour with.

Great tour to take with whole family members! We had great time and could watch dolphins, manatees and amazing birds. I fully recommend it!
