Just as advertised we got to see dolphins, manatees, and multiple birds. Capt. Mark and Michelle were both interesting and entertaining. Try the Saturday tour with a stop at a local restaurant in Port Canaveral.

A friend and I decided last minute to go on a river tour. We called this company and was told that they were sold out, but, they had a last minute cancellation. The people were great! They were very nice. For only being $30 a person it was well worth the trip! Didn't get to see any manatees unfortunately. But... More

Nice nature cruise. We called the morning we were in the area and were able to get spots that day. Leaves from a nice park, KellyPark on Bannana Rive Dr. were they also have a concession that rents Kayaks and other watersport equipment. Decent prices. Might check that out next visit. The captain was very well informed and very interesting.... More

Overall we enjoyed the tour, but were a little disappointed that the Canaveral Lock was closed. It is under repair & not accessible during the week. We did see dolphin & manatee....never had seen manatee before. Mark & Lillian were both very personable. Enjoyed the fact that they served snacks & drinks free of charge.....very few attractions are that attentive.... More

Captain Marc and Michele were very informative, even entertaining on our river cruise. We loved the relaxing afternoon on the water and saw many, many dolphin and manatees. I must say we learned a lot about the area too! Thanks for hospitality!

We thought this would be a fun activity for my son's sixth birthday. We had a living social coupon for our family of four and my parents and mother-in-law thought it looked so fun that they tagged along. The experience was wonderful. The captian and first mate were a riot. The free beer, soda or wine was a pleasant surprise,... More

The Blue Dolphin Banana River boat ride is unique. Get ready to be treated like family. Its a comfortable boat ride and well narrated by the Captain. You will see the Banana River by the Cape. You'll see the Kennedy Space Center from a distance. You'll see dolphins galore. And if you are lucky manatees, Uniquely they serve a drink,... More

My husband and I went on a tour with Space Coast River Tours for the second time in January 2013, and enjoyed it just as much as the first time, which was a couple of years ago. Captain Mark and his wife Michelle do a great job of making the trip fun and informative. We were hoping to see the... More

Nice excursion for the afternoon while we were in Port Canaveral from our cruise. Greeted at the bus by Jen who introduced the trip on the short bus ride to the dock. Greeted there by Captain Mark and Lillian. Lovely day for a boat ride. Saw dolphins and a pair of manatees!
