We had a wonderful time with Captain Mark and learned a lot. He did an exceptional job of telling us about the space program and the boats and equipment involved. We saw many manatees and dolphins around the locks. Had a little delay getting back thru the lock but he handled it beautifully and continued the tour thru the delay. AND THEN we ran into a huge pod of dolphins. It was so fun to watch them breach and play. I'd recommend this tour to anyone. My friend who went with us is 90 and had no trouble getting in and out of the pontoon boat. Fun time was had by all.

If this business isn't a scam, they're certainly trying to be. My group of eight friends and I…read morebooked a 5 p.m. sunset tiki cruise with them weeks in advance of our trip to Florida. We spent over $500 for everyone to attend. We were booked for a Wednesday, but an hour before the scheduled departure, we received a call informing us that we needed to reschedule due to inclement weather. The next day, someone in my group called earlier to confirm our reservation, but it was once again moved to the following day due to high winds. On the supposed-to-be day of the trip, we took an Uber to the business at the scheduled departure time only to find that no one was there. There was a note on the door stating that they were closed again due to winds. We didn't receive any calls or texts from the business informing us that they wouldn't be operating that day. After booking another Uber and returning to our Airbnb, we tried contacting the person we had been talking to and other forms of communication listed on the company website. Hours later, we finally received a text stating that we wouldn't receive a refund but would instead receive a credit for a future visit. The lack of communication, unprofessionalism, and outright disrespect for us as customers is deeply concerning and hard to understand. They took our money and ran with it. I highly recommend not using this business or giving them any of your money.

STAY AWAY. Over a week now since they promised a refund and we're getting no response. Our trip was…read moredelayed multiple times for what they admitted to be their fault and nothing to do with weather. Hard to tell at this point if it is intentional or just complete incompetence. We were given three different reasons for delays until they finally admitted their new captain didn't know the routes which caused earlier departures to be over 3 hours late. This was after being told there was a medical issue and then a drawbridge that had them stuck. The address on the website is also at least a year out of date. We will be disputing the charge with our credit card company but please do not make the same mistake we did.

Amazing Experience! Perfect for Our Orlando Vacation!…read more My wife has always dreamed of seeing manatees up close, as it's something we rarely get to experience in everyday life.

The boat was comfortable, and the Captain was super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse Tour (which I will shorthand simply to the Lighthouse Tour) has been one of those "backyard adventures" I've been wanting to go on for the longest time. Eventually, I was able to partake in said adventure with my friends, Nate and Chops. Afterwards, I have to say that even for a probably "one-and-done" for a tour, it is definitely worth every penny spent. This tour was everything I wanted and loved, and it delivered. First and foremost, the actual business building for the Lighthouse Tour is nothing you have to worry about. According to all the tours, you will meet up at the Sands Space Museum and take a charter van to multiple locales on the tour. Before we get to the actual tour I partook in, it should be noted there are numerous tour options such as the museums alone, the lighthouse alone, or the full experience. Prices range from $35 (lighthouse only) to $65 (full tour). I went with the latter which includes numerous museums, historic launch sites, and the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse. It should also be noted that the more you do, the longer the tour. The full tour is four hours long. Please take note the things you need to check before the tour such as wearing shoes if you plan to walk up the five floors of the lighthouse, small bags allowed with small closed-contained foods and drinks only. Finally, you need to fill out a clearance check as all the stops, with the exception of Sands Space Museum, is on the Cape Canaveral Air Force Military Base. With those in mind, the full tour - known as the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse and Space Flight Tour - is all the stops if possible. I say "if possible" because some stops may be closed for maintenance or upgrades. For us, The Sands Space Museum, where the tour stars, was closed for renovation. However, the museum is free and not on protected property so I can go back and check it out. We visited four different launch sites, three museums, and the Cape Canaveral lighthouse. I personally loved the lighthouse and Hanger "A" which housed some of the larger historic rockets and jets that have helped bring NASA and the U.S. military where it is now. I personally was surprised that the first drone was used as target practice. I can't really detail everything I saw or this would become one my longest reviews, longer than I usually do. Just know that, like I said earlier in the review, for a possible one-and-done, it is worth every penny. However, if you really want to make sure the tour is a one-and-done, pay for the full tour. You'll have enough time to visit everything within the four hours, and if anything is closed, they'll take you to the Canaveral National Seashore, which was amazing because it is literally almost "untouched" by tourism. I will give this tour four out of five stars. I am not going to say consistency will earn the fifth star because only a super fan will take this tour numerous times... or work for the tour company. I will say that the lacking star has to do with the price. It can be high overall especially if stops are closed for some reason.

It was kind of tough though as there were issues with the boat that almost canceled the tour and then it ended 45 minutes early due to weather. Regardless we were totally satisfied.

It was like the movie avatar but we weren't blue - the water was and we got to let it run over our hands. Could have played with that jellyfish longer or gone for another. It was all around fun and interesting. I'd do it again!
