and local wildlife from some of our latest Indian River nature tours on the Blue Dolphin, the best tourboat on the Space Coast.Join Captains Mark and Michele Anderson for a two-hour tour of the Indian River Lagoon, located on Florida’s east coast, just 45 minutes directly east of Orlando. Each tour includes a trip along the Barge Canal, the southern border of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, the Cape Canaveral Lock system, and Port Canaveral.
During each tour, you’ll encounter a wide variety of native marine life, including wild bottlenose dolphins, to the gentle giant and lovable Florida Manatee.
Birds of prey, also known as raptors, regularly seen on the tour, include the Anhinga, the Osprey (which is often spotted with a catfish or redfish clutched in its powerful talons) and other Brevard County bird watching favorites, including great blue herron ,white egret, white pelican, little blue heron, turkey vulture, roseate spoonbill and the Ibis.
