We explore the Banana River and Indian River Lagoon on a comfortable small boat that can reach shallow, hard-to-access areas where wildlife actually gathers. That means better chances to see wild dolphins, manatees, pelicans, herons, stingrays, turtles, and more – all in their natural habitat and often swimming right alongside the boat.
This tour is relaxed, educational, and family-friendly, led by a knowledgeable local captain who shares stories about Space Coast history, local ecosystems, famous landmarks, and even rocket launch viewing tips. It’s one of the most complete ways to experience Florida’s Space Coast in just two hours.

Tip for the Captain. 18-20% is customary
Dolphins and manatees are protected wildlife. We enjoy them responsibly – no touching, feeding, or chasing. Encounters are always natural and on the animals’ terms.
Because we run small boats and reserve your time specifically for your group, tickets are non-refundable.
You can reschedule up to 24 hours before your tour (no fee).
If something truly unexpected happens, please reach out. We’ll always do our best to help.
If we cancel due to unsafe weather or mechanical issues, you’ll choose a full refund or a rescheduled date – guests never lose money because of weather.
