🌟 Another great review on TripAdvisor about us! Thank you for your feedback, we truly appreciate it! 🙌

“Captain Russ was a great tour guide and knew his way around the lagoon. On our tour we didn’t see any manatees. We were most interested in seeing and swimming with dolphins, so that was ok. We saw many dolphins in their habitat. Unfortunately, when we got in the water, the dolphins weren’t really interested in hanging out. Regardless of that fact, we had a great time on the pontoon boat and learned about the fish and other wildlife. We managed to score a handful of conch shells too! The one I found was covered in barnacles. I cleaned it up when we got home and they look beautiful! I definitely recommend this tour.”

✨ Client Review on Yelp from Ripcordzz:

“This trip started out a little unexpected… we drove to a park with a boat launch on Merritt Island, where we met our boat and guide. I guess I expected to go to a business and not a dock in a park where a boat was waiting, but it worked out just fine. We left promptly at 8:15AM and headed over to the Canaveral Barge Canal, then the Indian River Lagoon/Lock, and then back to the canal. Along the way, we saw plenty of dolphins and a couple of manatees, so the trip was a success! If you can catch the manatees or dolphins in the shallower canal waters, they’re much easier to see and view. The weather was perfect - partly cloudy and breezy. It was a perfect day. I was admittedly a little overwhelmed with all of the choices online for dolphin tours, but this one was great and we were happy we chose Dolphin Family Tour. I would book them again - highly recommend Dolphin Family Tours. Our driver/guide was super knowledgeable.”

🐬 Why aren’t dolphins afraid of humans? These amazing creatures possess a high level of intelligence that allows them to distinguish between danger and when they can simply observe. Dolphins are very social and curious animals. They enjoy exploring the world around them, and if a human poses no threat, they view us with interest, as part of their environment. 🌍 In places where they frequently encounter people, dolphins become accustomed to our presence and may even interact, observing and playing. 🎮✨

Join our tour and dive into this unique experience of connecting with dolphins! 🌊🐬

Did you know that dolphins love to play? 🐬

One of the most thrilling moments of our tours is watching dolphins put on their joyful water shows right before our guests’ eyes. These amazing creatures are known not only for their intelligence but also for their love of games. During our tours of the Banana River Lagoon, you might see dolphins skillfully playing tag, chasing fish, or simply frolicking in the waves. 🌊

It’s especially fascinating to watch them interact with each other—dolphins might even have competitions to see who can jump higher out of the water or swim faster. Their energy and zest for life are contagious, bringing loads of positive emotions to our guests. 😄
Spend a day in the company of these playful marine creatures and let the dolphins add a splash of color to your vacation! 🌟 Join us on our next tour and discover the true magic of nature! 🌍

🦩 During our tour of the Banana River Lagoon, you might spot the Little Blue Heron. These birds start with white plumage in their youth, which gradually changes to a beautiful slate-blue color as they mature. Little Blue Herons often stand still in shallow waters, carefully watching for their prey—fish, insects, and frogs.

These graceful birds are frequent visitors along the lagoon’s shores. Join our tour and discover the amazing inhabitants of this natural haven.

🐬 Meeting dolphins is an incredible adventure, but it’s important to remember that dolphins are wild animals, and we must respect their space and behavior. Here are a few simple rules that will help you enjoy your encounter with these amazing creatures while ensuring your tour is safe and pleasant:

1. Maintain Distance: Dolphins are curious creatures, but it’s important not to get too close. Keep a safe distance to avoid disrupting their natural behavior.
2. Do Not Feed the Dolphins: While it may be tempting to offer a treat, remember that feeding wild animals can be harmful. Dolphins need to hunt for their food in their natural habitat.
3. Avoid Touching: As much as you might want to touch a dolphin, it’s crucial not to do so. Contact with their skin can be stressful for dolphins and may transmit germs that could harm them.
4. Don’t Chase: If dolphins choose to swim away, do not chase them. This can cause stress and anxiety for the animals.
5. Keep Noise to a Minimum: Try to stay quiet and avoid sudden movements to avoid scaring the dolphins. Noise can frighten them or alter their behavior.
⠀
By following these simple rules, you can enjoy an incredible dolphin encounter while keeping both yourself and these beautiful marine creatures safe. Join us and explore the wild with respect and care! 🌊
