Here is a list of bio-tour operators, courtesy of Florida’s Space Coast Office of Tourism:
Surfing
Skydiving
Skydive Space Center claims the world’s highest tandem jump at 18,000 feet over Titusville. For those who don’t want to go high or go home, the Center also offers jumps at 15,000 and 11,000 feet. Photo and video packages capture jumpers against an exceptional backdrop of the Kennedy Space Center and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
For beach lovers, Skydive Melbourne Beach offers the only tandem drop zone in the Southeastern United States with a dedicated beach landing.
Parasailing
You need not drop from 11,000 feet or higher as you take to the skies over Brevard parasailing or paragliding. Cocoa Beach Parasail explores Space Coast beaches and waters from the air at 500 or 1,000 feet, while Sky 1 Parasail, 321-328-7591, sails over Merritt Island.
Brevard Zoo
At Brevard Zoo, kayaking is truly a wild experience, since gliding along the Zoo’s Nyami Nyami River positions kayakers past giraffes, ostrich and zebras inside their enclosures in the Expedition Africa exhibits.
Take to the air after kayaking with the Zoo’s TreeTop Trek to traverse a self-guided rope and zipline course through the Rainforest Revealed jungle amongst spider monkeys.
