What a nice pontoon boat ride . It was an eco tour ride with lots of information about the river and all the fish in the water . We did get to see many dolphins as well as sharks, turtles , birds and ship reck sail boats . The tour was for two hours and was super chill .

Amazing river cruise today with Captain Hirams river boat tours. Our guide and captain were both SPECTACULAR, very knowledgeable and very informative while also being amazingly humorous and personable. Would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone, local or visitor. Thank you!

This is a manatee

My wife and I were on the Captain Hirams River cruise at 1 o'clock over the weekend. The boat trip was about two hours, and it was absolutely amazing. We saw dolphins, birds, stingrays, and other wildlife that was pointed out by Chris the second mate on the cruise. The captain did a great job and Chris was awesome. He gave some really good scientific background on the wildlife as well as a history of the area and many other facts. My wife and I were really overjoyed when we got back. We had lunch there at Captain Hirams with 20% gift certificate that they gave us when we assigned up for the cruise . Again, a special shout out for Chris a great tour.

Pelicans on dredge line

Thoroughly enjoyed our River Cruise with Captain Joe and Josh as our guides. I'm a native Floridian but actually learned a lot of interesting facts from Josh's narration. We were fortunate to see several dolphin, manatee, pelicans, fish, as well as many other estuary birds. Had no idea how light pelicans are as they perch atop thin light Australian Pine branches! Joe and Josh are so familiar with this lagoon and know where to find many dolphin and manatee for viewing. Also the boat was turned multiple ways to allow everyone on board access to great views. Very well done! We would definitely go again next time we visit Melbourne Beach.

They advertise pet friendly but they were sure to kick us out with our 3lb dog and backwards talk about the pet policy

I went on this eco-boat cruise a couple of months ago and I absolutely LOVED it! I strongly…read morerecommend if you're in the area that you go check it out. GREAT price too! I was visiting my father in the Vero Beach area and we were looking for something fun to do one afternoon. We came across the River Explorer and decided we'd give it a try. We called and Cindy was very friendly and accommodated us at the last minute. We arrived at the dock and were very impressed with the pontoon boat...it was super clean and even had a bathroom!! I've been on a different eco-tour like this before and I was less than impressed. Captain Bill and Cindy greeted us and offered us refreshments....another nice bonus. We hopped aboard and set sail. The river is absolutely gorgeous and we were taking in all of the sights. Captain Bill did a nice job pointing out some wildlife that I never would have seen. He was funny and also knowledgeable about the wildlife and the Indian River area. Our first encounter was an Osprey that had just caught a fish and was flying from tree to tree with the fish in its talons. Very cool! Next up were the dolphins. We could see them in the distance and I got very excited. We were making our way towards them when Cindy spotted a manatee. We got to see the manatee up close and meanwhile, the dolphins were making their way towards us. Again...very cool! Another thing I liked was that Captain Bill was in no hurry to take us back at an exact time. The tour is 2 hours long (I think) but he wanted us to enjoy the wildlife experience. He made sure to check with everyone on the boat to make sure that no one HAD to be back on schedule for other plans. No one needed to go back, so we got extra time out on the water for free. Again...5 stars for the River Explorer. You should check it out! Next time I'm in the Vero area, I might do it again.

Amazing staff that were supportive of our parties needs. Extremely helpful and friendly. I would…read moredefinitely recommend them to everyone interested in taking this tour.
