Fun And Educational Tour

This was a lovely tour of these waters with a well-informed, charismatic, and knowledgeable captain. We saw lots of local wildlife, including manatees, dolphins, and alligators. We also saw in the distance all of the space program buildings. Our captain was able to provide lots of facts about the wildlife, local area, and the space programs.

Another wonderful trip

Yearly trip from uk with Capt Cj . As always he was entertaining and informative with a unique sense of humour . He remembered us from last year which was nice to hear . We saw birds ( including osprey ) dolphins, manatee and a huge alligator. Weather was perfect and we could see for miles . We’ll be back again September for a bioluminescence experience . Thanks again Captain CJ .

Great water tour with a very knowledgeable boat captain.

Fabulous water tour with a very friendly, informative boat captain. He took us around to all the spots he knows will produce sightings of dolphins and manatees, and our tour was no exception. Saw lots of water birds, dolphins, manatees. Highly recommend this tour as it’s a little smaller and more intimate. Well worth it.

Operator response

Thank you Sharon for the great review. So happy your crew enjoyed the show. Hope to see you again. Capt CJ

Fascinating Tour!

Wonderful and informative tour. We were in Florida for just a few hours during a cruise. The ship was offering way over priced excursions on river boat tours, so I decided to book direct. Took a five minute uber ride from the port to the meeting spot for the tour. We were a family of five, and had our own personal tour. It was a great experience.

Awesome boat ride to see wildlife!

Awesome trip with Captain CJ. We saw manatees, dolphins, alligators and many birds. He is a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife we were seeing and their behaviors and also the area in general. He answered all our questions. Next time we’re in the area we will definitely take another of his tours. I recommend him highly!!!
