Happy New Year!!
Throwback to our thrilling journey navigating the Thousand Islands via ! The weather was picture-perfect, and our captain skillfully guided us through the tranquil waterways. We got to spot playful dolphins 🐬 and manatees basking in their natural habitat, and a variety of magnificent birds 🦅! Picture-worthy sights were aplenty, especially with the breathtaking view of the Cocoa Beach Country Club. The bonus part? The educational chitchat about the area's ecosystem!

Love wildlife? Love getting out on the water? Ensuring we keep both a vibrant and healthy part of Cocoa Beach begins with education. 📚 When spotting a manatee or dolphin, remember that each animal is a unique individual with its own story and behaviours. Watching from a respectful distance allows them to continue their natural movements and habits - it's their home after all. Join us in raising your eco-consciousness game one tour at a time! 🌊🐬

What a joy it is to read such touching reviews from our dear guests! 🌟 One of our satisfied customers shared their experience with us, 'We had the best eco tour experience last week! We saw everything we hoped to see! Dolphin, manatee, horse shoe crabs, birds, stingrays...The guides were the best! They are locals who grew up playing in the Banana River (Lagoon - something we learned on the trip)'. Your appreciation means the world to us.🙏❤️
