Passeio pela vida selvagem na Lagoa do Rio Indiano com um capitão experiente

For the first voyage from a new location, everyone was pleasant, helpful, and provided a wealth of information/history about the sites of the area. Jessi was a knowledgeable and friendly captain as were the other two captains aboard.

We drove up to the area specifically to take this wildlife boat tour, and it turned out to be well worth the trip. We booked through TripAdvisor the same day without any difficulty and joined a group of six other people to make up four couples. The tour currently departs from a location behind a private house with a small parking lot available for guests, although we were told they will be moving to a new location at the beginning of August. We met our captain, Jesse, and first mate, Evan, before boarding. Our departure was delayed by a few minutes because the first mate arrived late, and for a short time it looked like the trip might even be canceled. Fortunately, everything worked out, and we were soon on our way. We hadn't been on the water very long before we spotted our first dolphins, and from that point on the trip just kept getting better. Jesse and Evan did an excellent job explaining the history of the area, pointing out the local wildlife, oyster beds, and many of the sights along the river. We traveled south and were fortunate enough to see several dolphins and even a few manatees during the tour. The boat has seating all along both sides with a large open area in the middle, so it was easy to move around whenever dolphins or other wildlife appeared. During the trip, one of the passengers began suffering from heat exhaustion, and I was impressed with how calmly and professionally Jesse handled the situation while making sure everyone remained safe. Overall, this was a very relaxing and enjoyable tour. The river wasn't crowded, the scenery was beautiful, and there was an excellent chance to see several different types of wildlife. If you're looking for a peaceful boat ride with knowledgeable guides and a great opportunity to see dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife in their natural habitat, I would definitely recommend this tour. We were glad we made the drive just to experience it. Enjoy!

Very knowledgeable Captain that explains about the wildlife and surrounding areas that we traveled to. Highly recommend this adventure

Second time , first time with the grandkids. The girls were excited when they seen the manatees. It started right at the dock before we pulled off from the pier . Plenty of encounters with the manatees but the dauphins were few and far between, might be we were in between tides during the trip if that matters. Both Captains were very informative, if you haven’t taken this trip it’s a ton of history in this stretch of the Indian River.

Everything was fine. Very easy to buy online and constant updates prior to trip

We had a wonderful time with Captains Jesse & Austin. They found great spots for Manatee and Dolphin sightings. Lively narration and smooth sailing. Note: If you are sailing with them after August 1 call them to confirm your embarkation location since they are moving.

This was our second time. It was fantastic. Well worth every penny. Very professional and informative. No two trips are a like.

It was our 2nd trip! Very fun river cruise in a covered pontoon style boat. Saw dolphins, manatees and birds! Captain was excellent at history and wildlife in area! We have booked previously when we had out of town company. A great way to spend a few hours.

Informative great trip! Worth the money. Perfect time.

It was a great sunset cruise. We were able to see dolphins that ran behind the boat almost the entire way back. Our Captain Jessie did a great job directing us to the footprints of the manatees and rounded them up nicely for us! I would give 10 stars if I could!
