Went out with Captains Speedy and Don this morning. Saw a number of Dolphins and many Manatees too along with a few different species of birds. This tour is the best we’ve taken…especially for the kids. The Captains are very knowledgeable, friendly and fun! Speedy kept the kids busy with fun facts and trivia while Captain Don kept us on course (with help from the little Captains on board). Our tour left and returned on time. Overall a great time! This is a safe, fun,educational tour. We highly recommend Wildside Eco Tours. Worth every penny spent. Thank you Captains! Your mates Finn and Oscar.

5 stars really doesn’t feel like enough for our experience with Wildside Eco Tours!We had the BEST time today. The two hours flew by, and it was the perfect mix of getting out on the water, seeing wildlife, learning about the area, and just having fun.Speedy and Don were such a great team. Speedy kept us laughing the entire time with his dad jokes 😂 but was also incredibly knowledgeable about everything we were seeing. You could tell he genuinely loves being out there and sharing that with people. Don did an amazing job navigating and positioning the boat so everyone had a chance to see the dolphins, manatees, birds, and other wildlife without ever feeling rushed!What really stood out to us was how great they were with everyone on the boat. There were a lot of kids in our group, and they did such a good job keeping them engaged and entertained while making sure the adults were having just as much fun. It was such an easygoing, comfortable atmosphere from beginning to end!We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was relaxing, entertaining, educational, and such a great value for the amount of time you’re out on the water. We left already talking about doing it again. If you’re debating whether or not to book this tour, just book it — you won’t regret it! 🐬

We have been coming to Cocoa Beach for about 27 years. This is the first time we’ve ever gone on a cruise dolphin cruise and actually seen several dolphins and manatees. It was so much fun. We had a group of children with us and speedy actually really kept them interested and really made it great experience for them. It was totally worth it.

Amazing tour all around! Got to see a lot of the wild life including multiple dolphins and manatees. The guide and captain were great in their knowledge shared with us and giving plenty of time to actually see the animals and get good pictures of the animals. Will come back again and recommend to anyone looking for a fun and informative dolphin/manatee tour in Melbourne area.

Experienced the Wildside Eco Tour in Cocoa Beach this morning with Capt Ron snd Capt Speedy! It was an action packed day on the Banana River! We saw Fl birds, dolphin, manatees and more! Learned about the “lagoon” and the surrounding areas. The pontoon boat was clean, comfortable and stocked with water, and cool towels. Our Captains were knowledgeable, friendly and fun! We had a party of 8 from 3 to 73! We all had a great time, learned a lot and would recommend the Wildside Eco Tour and this trip!

My family and I had the pleasure of taking a tour today with captain Don and Captain Speedy. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We saw manatees and dolphins in the first 15 minutes of the trip, and then throughout the boat ride. Captain Speedy does a fantastic job entertaining the kids, while also ensuring the adults have a great time. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, informative tour. We’ll definitely be back!
