Mike and Diane were great. Diane was very knowledgeable about the estuary and wildlife. Mike was also very knowledgeable about all the local waterways. The sunset was beautiful. And great tunes. Would do it again.

Great sunset cruise last night. Diane is a knowledgeable hostess. I love her excitement over the birds on the nests and finding dolphins. She plays great music to complement cruise. And she takes great pictures. Captain Mike is a very competent boat captain. I would do it again. It was a beautiful sunset too.

My family and I had the best experience with this Cocoa Beach sunset tour while vacation here in Orlando. Host Diane and captain Rich were nice and friendly to us too. They worked hard for us to see dolphins and beautiful birds there. The best of all, we enjoyed the beautiful sunset went down on the horizon. Thank you Diane and captain Rich!

Nice slow cruise on pontoon boat around periphery of bay. Pat narrated some natural islands and local wildlife. Got to see some dolphins. Nothing fancy.

Some of the wild animals like the manatees are more difficult to spot and the dolphins are feeding so they are under the water more. The sunset view was beyond my expectations and our guild Diane was also very informative. Boat captain Rusty was also a great partner.
