Port Canaveral - Excursion - Wildlife Encounter - A Pontoon Boat Cruise

[rfcf2trips]

I saw this listed in NCL's Excursions option. Has anyone tried this excursion?

 

Here are the notes on NCL's website:

Your certified eco-guide will lead you through this expedition to explore an endangered estuary's peaceful waters; home of dolphins and manatees. On this fascinating educational adventure, you'll experience the unique wildlife of the Banana River, America's largest estuary. The Banana River, part of the Indian River Lagoon system, contains over 5,000 species of plants and animals.

We did this or one similar. We did the airboat (pontoon) and the zoo. It was interesting and a nice way to kill a good part of the day in Port Canaveral.

 

We had been there before and already done the Space Center, Disney and Cocoa Beach.

 

I think the Space Center is more interesting and takes longer if you're a first time visitor, but we enjoyed the boat ride and if you add the zoo (the owners goes in the water with the gators to feed them!) it's a pleasant day.

Just did this last week! We loved it! Just amazing all the birds in the mangrove trees along the water ways, and the amount of dolphins right next to our boat was wonderful! Not to mention all the Manatees!

We were in the Pontoon type boat, not an airboat, btw. . The one poster writing about the airboat, and alligator zoo type place is a totally different place/tour. There are no alligators or airboats in the Banana River.
