Very educational. Lazy boat road around Banana river seeing wildlife with a guide. Great for families or elderly.

My wish when I got on the boat was that dolphins would come up along side of it and two of then did just that. Wonderful experience!!!!

Good way to spend a couple hours seeing some wildlife. Just being out on the water was enjoyable as well. Definitely recommend.

We are local and did a staycation in Cocoa Beach. This Dolphin Tour is a hidden gem!! Captain Rusty and Miss Diane are amazing! We had a great tour. We saw dolphins and manatees in the lagoon. Tons of birds in the mangroves. They took their time and were filled with tons of local knowledge. While my kids are 18 -Miss Diane did a great job engaging with the littles, making sure they saw the wildlife and even quizzing/teaching them on a coloring sheet near the end of tour. Highly recommend! Keep up the great experience Captain Rusty and Miss Diane

We had a wonderful time on our tour. Diane was very energetic and knowledgeable about all of the wildlife we saw including: dolphins, manatees, various birds & fish! Her and Rusty worked very well together! Rusty shared his knowledge of the Space program which was an added benefit. Diane went above and beyond by spending time with the kids, showing them up close items from the beach. The boat had cold beverages available for purchase. However, we were allowed to bring our water on without a problem. This was the best experience, and we will absolutely come back again!

We saw many different birds, dolphins and a few manatees. It was a paradise for nature lovers.

Professionals seemed unprepared, very laid back. Sightseeing seemed ad hoc based on whatever popped up. Circled for what seemed an eternity here and there to see a dolphin fin or a manatee hump. As soon as we departed everyone was invited to stand and move about the boat so all ran up front blocking our view. Youngest were racing around in chaos uncontrollably. Going back at a higher speed was dreadfully windy and uncomfortable. Will never do it again.
