About Good Natured River Tours

Good Natured River Tours operates narrated wildlife cruises on the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River near Melbourne. Visitors board a fully covered river boat to observe dolphins, manatees, ospreys, pelicans and other native wildlife while a knowledgeable captain narrates the area's history and natural features. The company offers several cruise types: standard daily wildlife tours, extended Grand Canal Discovery Cruises lasting two and a half to three hours that venture beyond traditional routes, sunset cruises on Friday evenings with Caribbean music, and private group cruises accommodating up to 28 guests with an onboard bathroom. Visitors may bring their own food and beverages on sunset and private cruises. The business is family-run by Captain Bill Reynolds, who earned his USCG 100 Ton Master license, his wife Kelley, and their son Billy Jr., also a licensed captain. These cruises suit anyone seeking to experience Florida's Space Coast ecosystem from the water.
