Island Boat Tours???

[Mogs30]

Anyone done these, the rates sound great. If you did do one, which tour did you take. We are going for 1-day to Cocoa beach and are looking at taking a tour to maybe see dolphins or manatees. Party of 7 going. Also if anyone knows of anything special to see or a certain resturant that was awesome to go too, let me know. We have never been to Florida so any help would be great. Thanks. PS: Only driving up from WDW for a day, not spending night.

Mogs30, I'd be more inclined to head up to Daytona and take a trip with A tiny Cruise Line if you want to see dolphins. They are an excellent outfit and their cruise along the intracoastal is a real joy. Cocoa is more fun, IMHO, for just playing on the beach and visiting the Pier. If you've been to Ron Jon's befoe, you've also seen one of the other Cocoa highlights. The Daytona area has a lot to recommend it (the Ponce de Leon lighthouse is a neat attraction and the new Marine Science Center is great, especially for kids), while the Lighthouse Point restaurant on the waterfront provides a real slice of Florida cookin' and hospitality.

thanks for reply, we are doing KSC in morning and the beach afterwards, that is reason for choosing Cocoa beach as it's close by. Looking at doing lunch on Pier and then taking the sunset cruise. Only going for day and then heading back to WDW. Wish we had more time in Florida, 9 days isn't long enough. :(
