Best time to see: Every day!

It’s a delight to see dolphins on your Space Coast vacation! Lucky for you, our resident pods love to be seen. Boat and kayak tours of the Indian River Lagoon are the perfect way to get up close and personal with these marine mammals, but you can spot them nearly anywhere there’s a dock stretching into the lagoon. Booking morning or evening tours can increase your chances of seeing a dolphin or two as this is prime feeding time, just keep your eyes on the water and sooner than later, you’ll start seeing fins!
