Cocoa Beach Eco Tours

Cocoa Beach Eco Tours runs dolphin, manatee and wildlife boat tours on the Banana River Lagoon, departing daily from 333 W Cocoa Beach Causeway in Cocoa Beach. The 2.5 hour eco tour cruises the mangrove backwaters of the Thousand Islands on a shaded pontoon, where resident bottlenose dolphins, manatees, rays, herons and ospreys are part of daily life on the water. Local captains narrate the ecology of the Indian River Lagoon and keep the boat quiet so wildlife is never crowded. Sunset cruises run about 1.5 hours, and on select dates the boat cruises for an open water view of launches from Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral. Up to 36 guests, all ages, bathroom on board, free parking.
