River Explorer Boat Tours in Florida Ridge

Dave was a fun and knowledgeable captain. Beautiful morning for a tour of the river. Highly recommend this tour

We went out on the cruise for my husbands birthday on Sept. 11, 2022. We had Capt. Jim and Travis as our tour guides and they did an absolutely awesome job. We got to see a Manatee and a gator. We had such a great time and will definitely do that again!!!

A great and informative ride on the river

I booked the River boat tour for our family vacation. We took the 1.5 hour boat ride and only saw three dolphins, vacant homes and boats, and a few bird species. I was very disappointed by the lack of knowledge of the Indian River and manatees. We did not see any manatees on the boat tour. We had our granddaughters with us and it was a disappointment. The Captain was pleasant though and made the boat ride safe.

We did a 90 minute private boat tour -we saw so much wildlife - dolphins almost as soon as we got off the dock, a manatee (even though it’s not really manatee season). The captain knew the area so well and knew exactly where to take us. The boat was super comfortable, spotlessly clean, and perfect for the intracoastal. Thank you so much - we were extremely impressed and will be returning for another trip soon.

Captain Dave showed us the sights. Ospreys, private island estates, and fish jumping all over the place. The pontoon boat provided a smooth ride

Excellent tour. Informative. Able to see many dolphins

Me gusto el paseo, acorde con el precio $22 × personaVimos 1 Manatee de lejos y algún que otro Delfín pero igual, muy lejos.. pero creo que no es culpa de la compañía.Si creo que deberían ofrecer agua y poner alguna música para hacer más placentero el paseo, si no ofrecen ningún servicio extra no hay incentivos para dejar propinas

Didnt see any dolphins, but had a blast! Captain Dave was about to answer any questions I had, and the kids had a great time.

Such a great experience. Dave our captain was so knowledgeable and made it so easy to get some great pictures. The boat was nice a spacious and we had such a good time. Making reservations was easy and parking at the restaurant is easy depending on the time you have your reservations. We did the sunset cruise and saw dolphins and tons of birds.

We had a blast today! The Captain and tour guide were great and we were able to enjoy it even more because there was reduced capacity and we were able to social distance. We will def be back in the future.

We were able to see birds, dolphins and manatees. I would highly recommend paying the small amount extra for the two hour tour. It was worth it to be able to spend more time looking for and seeing the wildlife.

Had a new "spokesperson" Debbie - first day back on the job - she did great even if she was still trying to find her words for the trip etc! We saw 12+ dolphins. Our family was very very happy. We will do it again for sure.

Great boating adventure! Very knowledgeable and friendly captain and crew! Spotted many types of birds, a few dolphin and manatees!We will definitely go again when we are visiting the area!

We had a great time doing the one hour tour at 5:00. It was fun and relaxing. My five year old had a great time watching the many dolphins swim around. The captain was wonderful and very knowledgeable about all that we saw! I highly recommend this tour!

Had an amazing experience on our tour, our guide was very knowledgeable of the area, we saw many dolphins a couple of Manatee and the captain myself and kids even saw a hammerhead shark, I would definitely recommend this to anyone, and will definitely be coming back in the future, finished off our day having a delicious supper at the restaurant attached to the dock.

Gorgeous scenery and super fun! Relaxing way to spend an hour. We saw quite a few dolphins, playful and lively. Would definitely recommend, had a great time!

It was just ok. Didnt get to see much. Manatee have left as have most birds. Should have a lesser summer price as you really dont get much for your money. Need new speakers to here narrator.

Great tour! Saw tons of wildlife including manatees, dolphins and birds.

Not worth the money only saw 2 dolphins and one bird !

If you want to have an enjoyable two hours touring the Indian River Lagoon, learning about the history of it, the nature which surounds it and watching the dolphins, manatees and birds which inhabit it then look no further. This will take care of it all!

Captain Scott and his wife made our river boat tour so much fun! They are super knowledgable about the area and have a great sense of humor. Although we didnt see any dolphins or manatees (too chilly and windythey made the tour fun and relaxing. I would reccomend their tour to anyone looking to get to know more about the lagoon or just looking for something fun to do. (We did the 2 hour tour and it was very affordable.)Additionally, finding the dock was very easy thanks to the great directions on their website.Check them out!!

Cute little boat tour

Great if you are on the boat, I suppose, but the drunk captain came within 6 inches of my anchored boat and said "sorry dude". I couldve given him a handshake if I wasnt in fear for my life. If you value your life and your respected citizens, DONT GO ON THIS BOAT!

Captain Scott & 1st Mate Debbie were fantastic. Great 2 hour tour, beautiful lagoons, saw dolphins, managed, many birds. Highly recommend this tour and will try their sunset tour one night and some fishing.

This is a much loved gem of a discovery. It is not overly commercial. The couple has a stellar story that will forever endear them in our hearts. Very knowledgeable, flexible, customized the tour to our preferences as a small group who set out on a cold day. We will look forward to returning when we have the chance. Book this 1 or 2 hour cruise, sit back, and relax.

Great little adventure, relaxing. We were to see multiple Dolphins. Great time.

Captain Scott and his better half, Debbie, gave us a great tour of the Indian River. The 40 ft long boat held the 15 people on the tour comfortably. A canopy covered the boats deck, shielding us passengers from the August sun. The views along the river were beautiful, the mangroves and mansions made for a fantastic backdrop. Debbies commentary was useful as well as humorous. We were able to see dolphins and manatees during the tour. I highly recommend the tour any time of year.

what a fun experience. So relaxing. Great for the family or a party. So knowledgeable and scene is so beautiful. May see a dolphin or manatee, we did everytime.

Capt Scott and First Mate Debby did a wonderful job escorting us through the Indian River. Spoonbills, manatees and charming stories of the Rivers history and Eco systems entertained the whole boat! Thank you!

Great tour. Nice people. Saw dolphins and manatees and very cool birds. Sunset was great orange and yellow
