Joanne was very informative and sweet. The captain, I forgot his name was good at spotting wildlife and giving us time to take video and observe.

Great beginning, we photographed the manatees and birds. Unfortunately, we got caught in a thunder storm, but the captain and his mate were great. They provided protection for us from the rain, and then got us back to shore safely. Quite an unforgettable experience.

We saw a lot of manatees. The boat is covered. Bring a camera. You’ll get some good shots. A fun adventure.

Bill and Joanne were great. They did a really good job pointing out the manatees and different birds. The dolphins came out toward the end of the cruise. Bill made it a point to position our boat in order to get the best view of the dolphins. The boat ride alone was really nice!

The trip was amazing, we saw more more manattees and dolphins than we could count, multiple bird nesting and sightings. Absolutely amazing experience! We were free to get up and walk around to get a close look at the wild life. Our guides were very informative and an absolutely wonderful host for our trip.

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
