We had such a good experience on our Eco Tour Tuesday, that we came back the next day for a tour to watch the SpaceX rocket launch. Both were well worth the time and money.
Of course wildlife isnāt there simply to perform for humans. Itās unreasonable to expect any guide to guarantee what or how many species youāll see on a tour. That said, Captain Barry diligently sought out delightful experiences with local wildlife. He found us dolphins hunting fish near bridges and the lock. Manatees foraging on the edges of the canal. Pelicans ādive-bombingā for fish; herons and more. We also got additional information about local history and the port. The 4-6 person boat is clean, comfortable and well captained.
The next day, we sailed to the edge of restricted Kennedy Space Center waters, and watched SpaceX launch a rocket deploying satellites into space. Weād seen a rocket launch last year at the Kennedy Space Center, on the main grounds. This Launch Tour was a MUCH better way to watch. SO much more comfortable and a much better view. After the launch, we expected to go right back to the dock, but Capt. Barry took the time to seek out more dolphins. They came much closer to the boat today than yesterday. So gorgeous.
We highly recommend this tour company.
