Florida is famous for sunshine, oranges, and lifelong memories made by the water.

Freshly prepared meals, endless snacks and beverages, including beer and wine, are included.

At Cocoa Beach Dolphin Tours, their tours run exclusively through the Cocoa Beach Thousand Islands of the Banana River, one of three large estuaries that make up the Indian River Lagoon Ecosystem. The Thousand Islands are a group of natural & spoil low islands that consist mostly of Red, Black, & White Mangroves. The dolphins seen in the Thousand Islands tend to travel in families of two or more and spend their days cruising around the mangrove islands and canals in search of food. Experience many species of birds, plant life and manatees as well. Their certified naturalist will be pointing out the animals and mammals along the route.
