Looking for an unforgettable day on the water in the Space Coast or Cocoa Beach area? Come aboard Banana River Boat Tours and experience the beauty, wildlife, and adventure of the Banana River!
Discover the best of the Cocoa Beach, Florida waterways with Banana River Boat Tours! Choose from a variety of exciting boat tours designed for wildlife lovers, families, and anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure on the water.
Join us on our Cocktail Cruise where for two hours, you can tour the Banana River and see what “island life” is really about. Enjoy music as you cruise, drink, sightsee, and relax in one of the most beautiful estuaries in North America.
We also have our Rocket Launch Tour which is an exciting experience on its own! From hearing the engines firing up to feeling the rumbling grow until the water and boat begin to tremble, you get to watch as the lift-off occurs.
Our Sunset Boat Cruise is a nice and relaxing 2-hour adventure as you soak in the spectacular views of barrier islands and uninhabited spoil islands as you watch the sun drop closer to the horizon. The sights of the 4,000 plus animals and plants that inhabit the Indian River Lagoon such as manatees, dolphins, and majestic birds welcoming you to their home is a joyous sight in itself.
Join us as we explore the Indian River Lagoon, one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the Northern Hemisphere during our ECO Tours. We go way more in-depth and meet the creatures of the Lagoon such as Bottle-Nosed Dolphins, West Indies Manatees, Moon Jellyfish, even the Horseshoe Crab, and many more! The view of watching an Osprey dive into the ocean for fish or watching the Bald Eagles nesting alongside the trail will be a sight that you will remember for a long time to come! The shorelines are another area to keep an eye out for as the sight of the bobcats, panthers, wild boars, and other local land wildlife will be quite an amazing experience. This is the tour you NEED to bring your camera with you to document.
Now that you know a little more about the tours we offer here at Banana River Boat Tours, you have some great options to choose from. We know this might be a tough decision at first, but remember you don’t have to do everything all at once! Try each tour once at a time and give us feedback on whichever one was your most favorite!
All tours leave from Kelly Park East. It is a Brevard County Park with free parking and a public restroom. Our boats have a cooler, ice and complimentary water bottles for you to enjoy. You are more than welcome to bring any food or drinks along for the ride. Please no glass containers on board.
We aim to make sure that you are able to relax and put that exhausting work week behind you while experiencing unforgettable views and the cooling river breezes around you.

Would highly recommend! - We had a nice morning for a boat ride. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. especially about NASA. Favorite part was watching the Dolphins. I captured... Read More a video of a dolphin, jumping out of the water with a grouper in its mouth. I was unable to post the video on here but I did screenshot a portion of that video and added it to the pictures. I wish I can upload the video. But if you have some downtime and you just want to relax, I highly recommend this.

Great Customer Service - We were scheduled to take the 2 hour sunset tour and encountered a booking problem. The captain/ owner of the tour company went above and beyond to get us... Read More a refund. Even with his busy schedule he made several calls to Viator/TripAdvisor to ensure that we received our refund. I look forward to our next visit to Merritt Island and will be booking this tour for sure !

Awesome! - It was just our family of five (kids ages 9, 6, 3) and we had a great time! The two men running the large pontoon did a great job pointing... Read More out all wildlife and teaching us all more about the area. I could tell they truly loved the river and the wildlife within it. They had a cooler onboard for cold drinks. Also had scavenger hunt for the kids to mark off the wildlife which they had a lot of fun with. We saw enough dolphins that my three year old said "not another dolphin".
Truly enjoyed it and would recommend!

Shortly after booking, our guide CJ called me to follow up. He also texted the location to meet. We arrived at the meeting point early and CJ was waiting for... Read More us, with his "crew" Alex.
They gave us a thorough tour of the basin, talking about the history. We saw a group of manatees, and he explained their behavior. This was the first time my wife and I saw manatees. We also saw a number of dolphins. The whole tour was knowledgeable and informative.

Bioluminesence in a proper boat - a top attraction in Florida! - We are a family with teenage daughters who took an evening boat tour with Captain Don to experience the Bioluminescence in the Banana River area. It was amazing! ... Read More So peaceful, Captain Don's experience and knowledge was both reassuring and interesting and ensured we found the bioluminescence and a few animals! The boat is brilliant - a proper boat - so we could travel quite far up the river and tributaries. (We didn't fancy kayaking in the dark with our daughters) It's one of our top memories of visiting Florida - thank you Captain Don - 5/5 !

Great boat tour of the Indian River Lagoon - We took a 2 hour sunset boat tour of the Indian River Lagoon last night and although there were some challenges due to weather, our tour guides Jen and Jack,... Read More made it enjoyable for all 4 of us. We saw lots of dolphins, manatees and birds and learned a lot about the wildlife, plants and the space program that we did not know. The pontoon boat was very comfortable and Jen and Jack were funny and entertaining. We have been trying different boat tours each time we have family visiting and this was definitely one of the best. We look forward to taking this trip again with our next group of guests!
