Wildside Tours, Cocoa Beach FL

Great hosts with fantastic local knowledge. We saw a number of dolphins and my son now wants to buy a nearby house so we can spot them from the back garden! Excellent jokes from Speedy too

This was a good area tour. A lot of history of the area. We saw some dolphins and various birds. We also learned about mangroves, manatees and dolphins.
Don’t expect to see manatees on this tour. Our guide explained how the manatee population is diminishing.

Our entire family of 21 took the private tour and it was a blast. We would recommend and do it again.

We had a great tour. Personnel was very nice, and kids enjoyed steering the boat. Saw a bunch of dolphins, and just before the end, two were swimming alongside our boat.

Thanks so much for this fantastic trip!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Speedy and Jeanette were fantastic. Speedy was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us information in a way that was educational as well as entertaining. His collection of jokes is stellar.lol We saw several dolphins as well as other wildlife. Speedy is great with the way he interacts with kids, so if you have small children all the way up to hard to please teens, take the tour. They'll enjoy it. He and Jeanette let 3 teenagers steer the boat, and they seemed to love it. We were able to get up and walk around on the boat so we could get a better view when we saw dolphins and to take pictures. It was insanely hot while we were visiting, so they even handed out cold washcloths and water. I'd recommend them again and again! Thank you both for a really enjoyable tour!

Amazing tour with a great guide and captain! Lots of wildlife and dolphin sitings and learned a great deal about The Thousand Islands Conservation area.

Just finished our tour and cannot say enough how great the tour guide and driver were! So personable and knowledgeable! They complimented eachother well and were especially interactive with my kids.

What a great tour! Speedy and Tanya were fun and informative. The biggest highlight was seeing the manatees. It was amazing.

We had a great experience! We saw everything and the staff was amazing and full of knowledge. This is a must if you’re visiting Cocoa Beach! Great Father’s Day gift.

The absolute best boat tour I have ever been on! We saw so many dolphins and beautiful birds. Our tour guide made the trip so enjoyable with fun Florida facts! Our kids (a teenager and 5 year old) both had a blast! We will absolutely be making this a part of our annual beach trip from now on. Thank you Skippy & Jet for a wonderful morning out on the water.

Great time! Saw dolphins, manatees, stingrays, and the tour guides were a lot of fun! This was my second time and I’ll definitely go again

We had an excellent experience. Entertaining and informative. We saw dolphins, a manatee, an alligator, sting rays, and lots of various birds. "Speedy" was very good with children. He was funny and gave out stickers. Great time!:)

Loved this tour! Speedy is great, wonderful knowledge got to see many dolphins and some manatees!

Well worth the time and money. My father enjoyed it a lot as a father's day gift, and my wife and I had a great time too.

Love this tour, you learn something and have so much fun. Speedy is hilarious and a great guide! Great adventure to take while in the area strongly recommend! Make sure to pay attention so you can win prizes!

Our family of 9 absolutely loved the tour and our tour guides were great! They happily answered all of our 5 year old Grandson's many questions. They made a game of asking questions with the kids too! We saw dolphins, manatee and many birds. The guides were very informative and the kids even got to "drive" the boat! I would highly recommend!

6/16/23. I personally think it was a waste of time for me and my 7yr old. I was so excited to go on this tour with her especially as it was a surprise trip to see dolphins, manatees, etc so she could experience nature up close. However, on our two hour tour it was just literally a boat ride.

No communication at all from Captain Tonya except telling the tourists on boat to please move out of the way so she could see the boat dock while trying to maneuver the boat as we were Docking Back from the tour. Co-Captain “Tipsy” Speedy was friendly as he tried to do his sketch jokes that were not amusing without stumbling or falling off the boat in calm waters as he paced, rocked, and walked back and forth through out the trip. At least he tried, right? I understand that Captain & Co-Captain can’t make magic happen and nature animals appear out of the water or weeds but really wish they could have on this tour. LOL.

Last but not least, always remember when spending money everything’s a gamble you WIN some you LOSE some.

Saw dolphins and other wild life while on the tour. Very comfortable boat
The crew were the best part very friendly next door type people. I highly recommend

Great and kind guides that allowed for a dynamic experience tracking animals from safe distances and learning about the Banana Lagoon**!
