Spot wild dolphins and manatees on a small-group Space Coast cruise, with local stories and distant views of Cape Canaveral launch facilities.

About this tour

See the Space Coast from the water on a 120-minute Cocoa Beach dolphin and manatee boat tour, with no more than six guests aboard. Your captain guides the boat through shallow backwaters, where its nimble size makes it easier to turn, slow down, and quietly reposition when wildlife appears. Look for wild dolphins, which are seen on virtually every trip, and manatees, spotted on most outings.

As you cruise the lagoon, your local captain shares stories about the area’s ecosystem and Cape Canaveral, along with the history and future of America’s space program. Launch facilities sit in the distance, adding a distinctive Space Coast view to this relaxed wildlife outing. Life jackets are provided for all ages, and the small-group setting leaves room to take in the scenery and watch the water.

A minimum booking of two guests is required. For a closer look at local wildlife and the stories behind this remarkable coastline, choose a Cocoa Beach dolphin and manatee boat tour and enjoy the Space Coast from a fresh perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.70 from 37 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Cocoa Beach
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.7.
