Great Banana River tour! Captain Andrew, and first mate. Pat were very knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to see dolphins, manatees, great blue herons, a snowy egret, osprey, and mullet fish, jumping out of the water. I went on the 1:30 tour, which was great because there was only 11 of us on the boat. Lots of room to move around to see things. I would highly recommend this tour. read more

I went with my family on the Sunset Tour on the water at Cocoa Beach Dolphin Tours. Very cool! We saw a few bottleneck dolphins on our tour. It was nice to be able to walk freely around the boat whilst on the tour. Our tour guide, Pat, was very nice and friendly, and answered everyone's questions with ease when they were presented to him. Great views! Decent prices. Overall, good experience! Definitely recommend!! read more

Family friendly, educational and relaxing, Dolphin tours has it all. Captain Rusty and Kevin were the best. Not only were they both knowledgeable about the area and environment but they showed extreme patience with the children on the tour. Our tour was a perfect day with lots of dolphins and manatee, birds and natural beauty. The boat was clean with a bathroom as well as beverages that could be purchased but you were allowed to bring your own drinks and snacks. All and all it was a wonderful couple of hours. Remember that not every tour will have a lot of wildlife but the casual cruise on the Banana River was worth it. read more

It was still cool weather, but we did see 2 Dolphins. They had some drinks available if you didn't take your own. So if you're visiting, this is something you can do for sure. read more

Despite a very cool, windy and overcast day, we had a fantastic time on our 2hr tour. We saw a lot more wildlife than our great tour guides expected...several playful Dolphins in different areas, several Manatee, loads of Brown Pelicans, Cormorants, Anhinga (snake birds), Osprey, Great Blue Herons, Ducks, and some other smaller birds. Most were found up close as we wound around the maze of Mangrove Islands. We definitely felt like we got our money's worth. The boats comfortably hold around around 30+ people and after they are underway, you can get up and move around and hang out at the rails. I found being up on the bow rail offered the best opportunity for getting unobstructed pics of the wildlife. That's also close to the guide and boat captain who were very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. I've been on some lame touristy tours before and honestly wasn't expecting much here, but I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable it was and I'd definitely recommend it. read more

This tour is highly recommended for both the casual party that just wants to relax and the avid nature lover that lives for outdoor wildlife. This fully covered pontoon boat keeps everyone covered and out of the sun, with an option on the bow to catch some rays. Our Captains were able locate tons of Dolphins and Manatees, along with a wide variety of birds. Their knowledge of the wildlife was just as impressive. Overall, this tour is highly recommended for families and anyone that just wants to enjoy a casual river cruise. read more

Great experience. The boat ride gives you the opportunity to see all sorts of birds and of course dolphins! Our guides were very knowledgeable and when we spotted a mother dolphin and her baby, we remained in the area to be able to watch them for a while. You can bring food or drink onboard. Very fun outing! read more

Let's start with the guide Mike and the captain Rusty. They were great and Mike had a lot of knowledge of the area and wildlife. We saw everything that was advertised.

Bill was our captain and JC was our guide and they were both fantastic! That are both from Florida and are very knowledgeable about the animals and the entire ecosystem in this area. We were able to see several different birds, a couple dolphins, and a few manatees before the storm and rain set in. They did a nice job keeping us moving away from the storm and as dry as possible. I'd suggest this tour for all ages. You are permitted to love around on the boat to see and get the best pictures while the tour is ongoing. read more

We went on the Thursday Morning wild life tour. Diane and the boat captain did a great job locating, identifying, and explaining many sites, animals, and some area history to make this 2 hour cruise very enjoyable. We saw about 8-12 dolphins at various points along the way. Some swimming right up to the boat. I wish I would have taken more pics, but I was just too busy taking in all the sites. read more

The views, real estate, and animals you see on the tours are amazing! We did the sunset, husband and 5 year old. The pontoons slow and smooth and if you're afraid of deep water it only goes about 3-4 ft deep most parts of the river tour. It's like hgtv by boat on the waterfronts and dolphins and beautiful pictures. 10/10 and the crew were super funny and nice maybe soon they'll do karaoke night as well. read more

Cocoa Beach Dolphin Tours on the Banana River. This is a great tour. However, beware of where you park. The recommended parking lot next to the car wash is a scam. I received a ticket in the mail and I paid to park there. Now I am fighting the ticket. Thank goodness I have receipts. It's PRRS, Inc. Parking lot. I Google it and it has "thousands" of complaints of scamming tourists. Negative complaints to the BBB also. Do not park there. read more

What a great time!! We went out with Jeff and Cpt. Kurt, they were knowledgeable and fun! We saw birds, dolphins, and the protected islands that are home to all kinds of wildlife. Honestly even if we didn't see the dolphins, just being ferried around the water for a couple hours on a beautiful day is worth the price of admission! I'd recommend this to anyone who's here just vacationing, and also to ppl who spend more time year-round here. It's a heck of a way to spend a sunny morning! read more

Diane and Capt. Rich were a great team! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

The Indian River Queen As you board, be prepared to pose for your complimentary boarding photo which you pick up as you disembark. This three hour DINNER SHOW CRUISE featured The Tree Frogs as we cruised along the Indian River. The band was very good and not to loud so that you could actually converse amongst yourselves. They played classic tunes from the 60's and 70's. We also enjoyed the "Queen's" tasty Dinner Buffet. THE QUEEN'S DINNER BUFFET consisted of: APPETIZERS Chips and Salsa Fresh Fruit Platter MAIN COURSE House Salad Cucumber/tomato platter Fish Florentine with spinach, tomatoes, garlic Slow Roasted Pork with or without Hunter sauce Fresh Sautéed Vegetables Cheese Tortellini with a basil crème sauce Garlic Rolls and Herb Butter DESSERT Chocolate Cake The Tulips Bread Pudding & Crème Sauce BEVERAGES Coffee, Tea, Water and 2 Full service Liquor Bars on board. The food was good but not great, however, the beautiful sunset, full moon and river views made it totally worth it just for that alone. Looking forward to my next cruise!!! read more

Awesome tour. Got to see about 6 dolphins, some even jumped which is rare, a couple manatees, and plenty of birds. Tour guides were great and friendly - they sell beverages and have a bathroom on board the ship as well. Knowing Florida, should bring some ponchos if you get stuck in a sudden rain storm!! Awesome tour though. read more

We really enjoyed our sunset cruise, the captain and his mate were funny and made it even more enjoyablee!

We had the most delightful tour Friday morning on our "search for wildlife." We found them --- manatees, schools of fish, dolphins and birds galore. Our 5 and 8 year old's loved the trip; grandparents liked it even more. Everyone said it was the best day of our trip to Florida! Thanks so much to the captain and the "tour guide" for a wonderful experience with nature. The information was nonstop and the fun was constant. The grownups wished we could come back for the sunset tour! The tour was absolutely worth the cost. Back home in DC seems boring now! read more

Cocoa Beach Dolphin Tours - There it was -- a Dolphin!! - Boating Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

The crew is as great the guide grew up in the area so taught you some unknown facts of the area. There is such a beautiful view and amazing breeze during the trip. They sale water and soda on board. Or you can bring your snacks and beverages on board. I had my insulated cup with wine. There is lots of seating to view everything. Sun hat and sunscreen is a most. Also toward the end the captain allows volunteers to drive the boat and take pictures of your group. I must say I was impressed and pleased and would recommend this cruise. The guide only earn tips so take cash with you. Look for discounted tickets on trip advisors or look up on the internet. The beach is very close so we went to the beach before and dinner after at Florida seafood bar and grill. So plan on spending a wonderful day here if coming in from Orlando. read more
