Tours to upgrade the Space Coast experience
Visitors looking to dive deeper into the culture and landscapes of Florida´s Space Coast can benefit from a huge array of immersive tours.
Knowledgeable guides are on hand to educate whilst navigating the mangrove tunnels of the Indian River Lagoon; or walking through the mural-lined historic districts of the inland communities.
Whilst the bioluminescence during the summer months is always a highlight, the Indian River Lagoon can be navigated year-round. There are kayaking tours Fin Expeditions or Cocoa Beach Kayaking in the Cocoa Beach region or Go Kayaking Tours in Melbourne which place guests close to the water, surrounded by the fauna and flora.
Nature boat tours offer a more elevated experience, such as the sunset tour of the Banana River by Cocoa Beach Dolphin Tours where visitors search for bottlenose dolphin, manatee, and a variety of bird species. A faster, exhilarating tour with Twister Airboat Rides takes guests deeper into Florida´s outback on the St. John´s River and slows down to observe alligators, roaming cattle and deer.
Back on land, the inland communities and their historic districts offer a host of varied tours. One such location in the region is Field Manor on Merritt Island, a National Register Property and a living history museum including an 1880s farmhouse and a 45-acre working citrus grove.
One of the first settlements in the region is where the Eau Gallie Arts District (EGAD) is now situated and visitors can explore its history during a walking tour or a mural and art tour, with over 20 murals to discover.
The Space Coast offers a unique and thriving food scene and guests can partake on a variety of tours offered by Village Food Tours in historic Cocoa Village, Downtown Cocoa Beach, Downtown Melbourne and Port Canaveral. These tours take foodies off the beaten path to experience local dishes and fascinating stories in scenic locations.
Those preferring a bird´s eye view of the area can opt for an aerial tour with Florida Air Tours on a biplane lasting up to 45 minutes. Cocoa Beach Helicopters offer views of the coastline and classic landmarks. Both companies can even fly near the Kennedy Space Center with views of the Vehicle Assembly Building and space shuttle landing runway.
Guided tours of the Space Coast offer a more in-depth perspective of this diverse destination, especially for visitors staying longer in the region or coming back. More information can be found on the official website
