feedback We just went on the two hour kayaking trip from Manatee Cove yesterday with Dawn and it was incredible! We were surrounded by manatees and were able to get right up next to a baby manatee. Dawn was a great guide and we really enjoyed our trip. We will definitely be making a second trip soon! feedback

feedback My friend and I took a nature tour yesterday and it was AWESOME. Our guide knew all the secret spots and a had lot of information to share. He was laid back and I think he enjoyed the outing as much as we did. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone visiting Fl.  feedback

feedback My girlfriend and I went on the Dolphin and Manatee Nature Tour the morning after the final Space Shuttle launch. Captain Tom was a fantastic host and choosing the 8am tour was the best time for the weather and the quiet. Tom found a pod of 15 to 30 dolphins within minutes of cast off and we saw a couple babies swimming with the rest. That early in the morning they were very curious and came up to the boat several times. Later we found an area with another 15 to 20 manatees quietly enjoying the morning and we stopped and watched them come right up to the boat as well. All in all, it was very worth the money and I would gladly do it again. I'd also like to try one of their other tours next time I'm down there. feedback

feedback My sweetheart Gary and myself made a last minute decision to book a nature tour with Fish Tales Tours last night at 9:30 pm. To my total amazement...they actually answered their phone and booked us for a tour at 8:00 this morning!!! We are staying at the Marriott Courtyard here and it was a short trip over to the launch site on the Banana River. We wound up being the only ones aboard this morning with Capt. Quinn. He was delightful and extremely knowledgeable!! We motored out to a mangrove island and were thrilled to find a number of manatee!! One mama and her baby swam up to our boat and spent a good hour rubbing up against the pontoons, the anchor line rope and each other. The were just inches away!! It was so fun watching them nuzzle and seeing mama wrap her flippers around baby in order to guide him where she wanted him to go!! They are so gentle and such "touchy" creatures. They obviously enjoy alot of contact with each other and their surroundings. We also spotted a dolphin rolling along with flocks of pelican and cormorant on a nearby mangrove island. Capt. Quinn took us past the Canaveral Locks and we pulled up onto the beach of a small island and got out and walked around. We also saw a couple of manatee hanging around this island. I would highly recommend taking this early morning tour, we had a great time and a great experience!!!  feedback

feedback If you are in the area, consider booking a trip with Fish Tales Tours. My son and I traveled to Florida to celebrate his birthday with a fishing trip. Our deep sea fishing trip that was planned with another company was cancelled due to weather. My son was disappointed UNTIL I found this company. All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We were able to book a trip on short notice at a very reasonable price. We had so much fun that 4 hours of fishing was not enough! We booked another trip to fish some more the next day. Captain Greg was amazingly helpful, patient, and attentive. My son is still talking about our trip and can't wait to go back! Thanks also to Eric for helping us with transportation from our hotel. We hope to be back soon! feedback

feedback Fish Tales Tour in Cocoa Beach Hope this helps to everyone. I plan on posting a great review for this company. We went on 3 adventures with them and loved them all. We did the 2 hour fishing (twice) because the kids liked it so much. We saw tons of wildlife (Manatee, dolphin, birds). We also went on a kayak trip with them and the manatee were directly next to us. Loved this company. We had a big group of 9 people (5 adults and 4 children under 11).  feedback

feedback We got back to our condo just a little while ago we took teh 4 hour fishing trip. Our Captain,Greg, was absolutely fantastic and I hope I didn't offend him with the tip I gave him, I didn't know what was appropriate. We had so much fun that before we were even done my husband and I were talking about the possibility of adding another tour to our vacation. We decided against it only because we didn't want to taint the memory of how much fun we had tonight. Our boys are 12 and 10 and this was the highlight of our vacation. This was our first big family vacation so we did 2 days of Disney, the boys seeing the ocean for the first time and all that and by far this fishing tour is the first thing they will tell all their friends about. My oldest is pondering which pic from the fishing trip will be his profile pic on facebook and he hasn't changed that since he put up his football pic last fall.Thank you for offering such a fantastic trip with an exceptional captain and all at prices a family won't shy away from. :D feedback

feedback Just wanted to thank Capt Quinn for the awesome fishing trip my 9 year old son Tyler and I took on Mon Aug 2nd. Way better than any over priced amusement park. We figured we caught (catch and release) about 30 fish and 10 different kinds. My boy even caught a small stingray. We come to Merrit Island/Cocoa Beach from northern California about every year or so to visit family. We will definatly be putting Fish Tales on our list of outings from now on. Thanks again Fish Tales and Capt Quinn, Randy Corey and Tyler feedback

feedback We went out with Capt Quinn, our family did. We even took my mom who's scared of water!! He had her feeling secure on the boat which is hard to do. He took us to the manatees and wild birds, it was all amazing. He knew so much about florida and the wild life. The highlight of the boat ride though was actually seeing a baby manatee in the water swimming around!!!!!!!!!!! By far if we come back to florida we will go again with you all. Thanks a million for our adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  feedback

feedback WE GOT HOOKED!!!!How Awesome was this Company. When I made my reservation the lady was so very sweet and set our family with our first 4 hour fishing trip on monday by the end of the week we went out 4 times because we loved it. This was our highlight of our Vacation. Thank you Captain Eric he took us 4 of the 3 times that we went out. He was very helpful and fun. We saw tonz of Manatees and the Captains knew right where to go. There really was so many that we had to float for a bit so we would not hit one with the motor. The Trip was Amazing and Thank You. I WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW WHERE TO GO (CALL FISH TALES 866-890-0209) WHEN THEY VISIT COCOA BEACH.  feedback

feedback My wife and I went out on a 4 hour fishing trip on the Fish Tales Tours and we could not have asked for a better way to spend the last day of our Florida vacation. It was a nice warm (sunny) day with a light breeze. The bay was calm and the Captain, Captain Quinn, was a lot of fun! Since we were his only customers at the time, he very much allowed us to do whatever we wanted to do. While we were content just to be out on the water watching the dolphins and manatees, Captain Quinn made sure that we really got our money's worth. Not only did he put us on alot of fish, but he even went out of his way to show us a 4foot alligator. My wife and I ended up catching at least 20 sea trouts, 2 ladyfish, 1 channel catfish, and 6 gaftopsail cats (my wife caught 5 of the 6 gaftopsails). Being an avid fisherman myself, I found Captain Quinn's vast fishing knowledge to be not only helpful but informative. We can't wait to go back in September to hopefully target other species of fish. Once again, Thank you Captain Quinn, for a great fishing experience!!! The Millikens feedback

feedback Our trip was April 6th at 8am. What can we say that hasn't been said above already?! Our Captain was also Quinn and he was true to form, a wonderful, enjoyable, fun, knowledgable, helpful kind of guy. We went out on a 4 hour fishing/nature tour and wished it had been an all day adventure. We caught all different types of fish and our 14 year old daughter caught 2 stingrays :) She loved it too. Quinn's patience go beyond the call of duty as line after line got broke, he would smile and say "no worries!" as he fixed yet another. We have to say you have a great guy in Quinn and hope to see him when we return again. We went on a kayak tour (WITH ANOTHER COMPANY) and our guide was horrible and rude, we won't make that mistake again!! Fish Tales all the way! Thanks for the best memory from our trip! Quinn keep up the good work and you were right the cracked conch at Millikens is awesome! We will recommend everyone your way! The Moore's from Michigan :) feedback

feedback My mom, girlfriend and I are all from the northeast. I saw an ad on Craig's List to see the shuttle launch from the water. The cost was reasonable so we made a reservation. The drive down from Daytona took just over an hour. The trip was a huge success. Capt. Quinn was the best. Very informative, patient and willing to do what it took to give us the best trip possible. We plan to take a fishing trip or Air Boat ride with Fish Tales our next trip down. Thank you Fish Tales for a traffic service. feedback

feedback My mom and I took the 4 hour nature/fishing tour today with Eric. It was windy and abnormally chilly for this time of year, but other than that we had a great time. Eric was very easy going and knowledgable about Florida wild life. I wish it would have been warmer so more animals would have been around. I recommend this trip to anyone looking for fun.  feedback

feedback The 2 hour nature cruise that I went on with family in November on the Banana River and Intercoastal Atlantic Ocean was incredible! We saw all kinds of birds on Bird Island and next to that were manatees playing in the water. We then cruised to party island where we got out of the boat and walked the sand bar where we saw 3 dolphins playing almost right next to us! (MY FAVORITE PART!) We then cruised through the Barge Canal where we saw an alligator--didn't get out of the boat there!! The whole experience was awesome! Can't wait to go back and do a kayaking trip with Captain Eric who was very fun. feedback

feedback Me and my friend took a 2 hour nature trip and we saw so much dolphins playing around our boat it was wonderful. We had so much fun the next day we went out kayaking with Captain Eric. I have to say the trips were both awesome and so were the captains. Kayaking we went right up to the manatees, and enjoyed them swimming around us for a while. I will be back next year for sure and with my whole family. Thank you and FISH TALES ROCKS. feedback

feedback We wanted to tell you about how great our trip was today. We did the 4-hour combo trip at 12:00 noon with Captain Quinn. It was fantastic! There were three in our family and three in another family. Altogether, we caught about 20 fish total, of about 6-7 different types. Our 9-year-old son had a blast. My wife caught a huge catfish (at least 7 pounds!) during the trip. Captain Quinn was outstanding. He was pleasant and knowledgable and helped everybody with baiting hooks, reeling in the fish, taking pictures, and unhooking the fish. When we did the nature part of the tour, he took us right to where the manatees gathered, and we had a great time watching them in the water as they gathered around the boat. Just great! All in all, it was a wonderful trip. Again, the Captain was great, and we would definitely recommend your tour to our friends. feedback
