About Wildside Eco Tours

Wildside Eco Tours operates two-hour wildlife cruises through Cocoa Beach's Thousand Islands aboard the M/V Wildside, a shallow-draft eco vessel designed for close-up viewing and comfortable small-group experiences. The boat accommodates a maximum of 22 guests on public tours and carries up to 24 on private charters. Visitors explore mangrove tunnels and lagoon waterways while spotting dolphins, manatees, roseate spoonbills, and ospreys with captain guides who provide education about local wildlife. The vessel features shaded seating, free drinking water, and includes free parking. Public dolphin eco cruises run on published schedules, while private eco charters allow groups to reserve the entire boat for personalized itineraries with a Bluetooth sound system. The attraction also offers catamaran sails. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website. Located in Cocoa Beach, Florida, Wildside Eco Tours suits families and small groups seeking personal wildlife encounters rather than large-group tours.
