See Florida’s Space Coast from the water on a relaxed, small-group dolphin and manatee tour with just six guests per boat.
Our small boats can move into shallow backwaters, slow down quickly, turn easily, and quietly reposition when wildlife appears. That gives your captain the freedom to follow the moment - getting you really close for incredible views of wild dolphins and manatees without disturbing them. Dolphins are seen on virtually every trip, and manatees on most.
Your captain is also your guide to the Space Coast — sharing the story of this remarkable area, from the lagoon and its ecosystem to Cape Canaveral and the growth of America’s space program. You’ll see launch facilities in the distance, hear the stories behind historic and upcoming missions.
With a knowledgeable local captain, no crowds, and plenty of time to look and enjoy the water, these two hours feel like a real introduction to the Space Coast — not just a boat ride.
Minimum booking of 2 guests.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Park in the public lot across from the green BP gas station. Walk toward the dock near the children’s playground — it’s about 20 steps from the parking area and may be partially hidden by trees. Look for our boat with the company sign.
