Certified naturalists lead pontoon-boat tours of the Indian River Lagoon in search of playful ocean mammals

Sailors learn to be experts at knot tying, from securing the vessel with a tight anchor hitch to securing the captain after he succumbs to madness and tries to eat his own hook hand. This Groupon is a mutinous bounty.

Choose Between Two Options

  • $25 for a two-hour dolphin discovery cruise for two (up to a $50 value)
  • $49 for the above cruise for four (up to a $100 value)

Aboard a Coast Guard–licensed pontoon boat, a certified Florida coastal naturalist guide leads up to 40 passengers through the Indian River Lagoon, one of North America’s most ecologically diverse estuaries. As the boat glides through mangrove-framed waters, passengers search for glimpses of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, often catching cameos of manatees, bald eagles, and leaping mullet fish. Check out the schedule of upcoming cruises.

About Marine Discovery Center

Local creek waters and river tributaries empty into an estuary along more than 150 miles of Florida's east coast. There, the freshwaters mix with salty Atlantic currents to form the Indian River Lagoon. The lagoon supports the highest levels of biodiversity found in any North American estuary. Preserving this delicate and species-rich ecosystem is the goal of Marine Discovery Center, a nonprofit corporation headquartered on the banks of the river. The MDC connects citizens to nature through kids’ summer camps, educational outreach, and frog-kissing booths. Kayak tours allow guests of all skill levels to navigate through the mangrove-framed waters of the lagoon in search of native birds, leaping mullet fish, and even Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.

Lisa was our excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and approachable. Water was too cold (Dec 31) for the Dolphins but we had an excellent two hour kayak through the mangrove estuary. Just do it.

Great outdoor experience. We were first time kayakers and were a little unsure how we might do, but they were helpful and made it a wonderful morning where we learned a great deal about the marsh ecosystem.

Overwhelming positive Excellent tour guide,Lisa, was informative regarding water life, birds, and conservation ideas to restore our shorelines She and her fellow guides volunteer many hours to upgrade a previous site that was not used appropriately As we kayaked, Lisa had a wealth of knowledge that she shared with us I would highly recommend a tour at the marine discovery center and hopefully Lisa as your guide
