Reviews

To me, the Indian River which flows through the New Smyrna Beach area is fascinating, particularly the Indian River Lagoon. The Marine Discovery Center is a non-profit organization that highlights the Lagoon and the surrounding waters. It provides locals and visitors alike with an opportunity for ecotours, sunset tours and on-going education. Their goal is to preserve not only the Lagoon, but the coastal regions of Florida. They provide much needed research for marine life. The Center offers Eco-Tours and Sunset Tours by pontoon boat. The tours are very informative and interesting enough even for small children. The Center offers discounts to senior citizens, families and students. — chinch1153, Cosmo Tourist
