Wildside Tours is an eco-tour which provides an exciting and educational opportunity to view a real mangrove eco-system, the Banana River, and Cocoa Beach canals. A typical experience would include up close and personal viewing of manatees, dolphins, and a constantly changing array of tropical birds. Because our tours are limited to 20 persons you will get a more personal tour and our boat can go into the smaller canals that the larger tour boats can't. This is an ideal way to explore the thousand islands of Cocoa Beach. These delta islands were formed thousands of years ago when hurricane force storms cut through the barrier islands of Florida. The Banana River and the Thousand Islands are a part of the greater Indian River Lagoon and estuary system. Here you will see the red mangrove, white mangrove, and black mangrove. Florida and the Indian River Lagoon are one of the most popular fishing spots in the entire world. Come see this incredible, fragile, dynamic eco-system; only 50 miles from Orlando! Wildside Tours also, provides tours to view rocket and space shuttle launches, private parties, and custom cruises.
