Excursions in Merritt Island

Hey there, adventure seekers! Are you ready to explore one of Florida's best-kept secrets? Look no further than Merritt Island, a paradise nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon. At Foxiepass, we're passionate about showing you the very best this stunning island has to offer. So, grab your sunscreen and let's dive into some of the most incredible spots you'll get to experience on our guided tours!

Kennedy Space Center: Where Dreams Take Flight

First stop on our journey? The legendary Kennedy Space Center! Trust me, this place is out of this world (pun totally intended). You'll get up close and personal with real rockets, touch a moon rock (yes, really!), and maybe even bump into an astronaut or two. Our guides love sharing behind-the-scenes stories that'll make you feel like you're part of the NASA family. And let's be honest, who hasn't dreamed of becoming an astronaut at some point?

Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge: A Nature Lover's Paradise

Next up, we're trading rocket ships for wildlife at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. This place is a real-life Disney movie, I kid you not. Picture this: you're cruising along in our comfy tour van when suddenly...

• A majestic bald eagle soars overhead
• A family of playful otters splashes in a nearby stream
• A gentle manatee pops up to say hello

And if you're lucky (which, let's face it, with Foxiepass, you always are), you might even spot the elusive Florida panther! Our expert guides know all the best spots for wildlife watching, so keep those cameras ready!

Cocoa Beach: Surf's Up!

No trip to Merritt Island is complete without a visit to the world-famous Cocoa Beach. Whether you're a seasoned surfer or a total newbie, we've got you covered. Our tours include optional surf lessons where you can hang ten with the best of 'em. And if surfing isn't your thing, no worries! The soft sand and crystal-clear waters are perfect for sunbathing, shell collecting, or just soaking up those Florida vibes.

Historic Cocoa Village: Step Back in Time

Ready for a change of pace? Let's head to Historic Cocoa Village, where old-world charm meets modern-day fun. Stroll down tree-lined streets, pop into quirky boutiques, and sample some of the best food this side of the Mississippi. My personal favorite? The key lime pie at Ossorio Bakery & Cafe. It's so good, it should probably be illegal!

Exploration Tower: A Bird's Eye View

Last but definitely not least, we'll take you to the Exploration Tower. Seven floors of interactive exhibits culminate in a breathtaking observation deck that offers 360-degree views of the Space Coast. On a clear day, you can see for miles – from Cape Canaveral to the sprawling wildlife refuge. It's the perfect spot for those Instagram-worthy shots that'll make your friends back home green with envy.

So there you have it, folks! A whirlwind tour of Merritt Island's finest attractions. But here's the thing – reading about it is one thing, experiencing it is a whole other ball game. That's where we come in. At Foxiepass, we don't just show you around; we help you create memories that'll last a lifetime.
