Cocoa beach trip

[marypoppins81]

I am thinking of booking a day trip to Cocoa Beach for my daughter to swim with wild dolphins. She wanted to swim with dolphins on this trip at discovery cove but I said no so this would be a good alternative.
Can anyone recommend a reliable shuttle service and dolphin swim tour that I can call to book? I have read transfer time is around an hour.
Thanks!
Louise

Been to Cocao Beach and never saw anything about swimming with dolphins. Wrong coast or area I think. I could be wrong. Check out the link above..

I visit Cocoa Beach frequently as I have relatives there, and although I have seen dolphins in the area, I've never seen anything in regards to swimming with them. I would be interested in hearing if anyone has, since I think that would be a fun thing to do.

This is what I was reading. I have never visited cocoa beach so it may not be any good

Please educate yourself before you make a decision, because it matters. Thanks!

We have tons of family in Cocoa Beach, so we go there quite frequently. It's about an hour from Disney. I've never heard of swimming with dolphins, but from the link you posted you're more or less just in the same area as the dolphins not really swimming with them as you would at Discovery Cove. I didn't check out the tour prices, but it looked like it could be a fun thing to do.

We were just on the Banana River is a boat yesterday and there were tons of dolphins swimming all over the place, but on any kind of tour you would not really get to swim "with them". See them yes, interact with them, no.

We did Discovery Cove with my granddaughters over spring break and it was an amazing time. They loved swimming with the dolphins, but the entire day was great for everyone in the family. Expensive, but well worth the money. Great snorkeling area with fish and stingrays, aviary, all the food you want to eat at a breakfast buffet and lunch buffet, plus unlimited snacks and drinks all day (beer and wine too). Everyone loved it and we plan to go again in the future.
