10 Tours in Cape Canaveral That You Shouldn't Miss

May 6, 2022 Moriah Teneyck

Cape Canaveral and the neighboring Kennedy Space Center have become synonymous with space travel in the U.S. The first phases of the U.S. space program were conducted at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, now a historic landmark and home to the Air Force Space and Missile Museum, before operations were moved to Kennedy. In addition to its Space Coast reputation, Canaveral also boasts the historic Cape Canaveral Lighthouse, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Canaveral National Seashore.

I would like to thank Liz in the office, and especially Capt. Tim Nichols for a very enjoyable fishing trip to Alligator Alley the fish for Peacock Bass. Mr. Nichols was very professional and knowledgeable, and very accommodating to my needs. It's the most fun I had on my Florida trip! Again, I would like to thank all that made this possible. Yours truly Doug Hill.

One this trip, you'll enjoy relaxed manatee and dolphin viewing as well as other marine wildlife at your pace, paddling along natural mangrove shorelines, marine islands, and tidal flats.  Frequent sightings include manatees, dolphins, jumping fish, otters, shore birds, diving birds, birds of prey (osprey, bald eagles) and occasionally bottom marine life such as crabs, rays, skates, fish and more.  No matter what the sightings though, you'll have a great time learning about Florida lagoons and enjoying a quiet paddle in paradise.

As frequent travelers and "foodies", we look to join food tours whenever we go away. My husband and I both agree that these types of tours are the best way to experience a destination. And this one was fantastic! Our guide was knowledgeable, fun, and well-received at each of his venues. The interaction with our guide and the staff of the places we visited made us feel welcomed and excited to be here! SO much amazing food! You'll go back to your vacation home full of delicious and varied cuisine Don't miss it!
