Rocket history and lighthouse tour
Exceptional personal and researched led tour. This was our second visit and we will visit again. Rocket history and lighthouse tour took us to historic sites that took us back in time. It was a great morning! We will be back.

Great Tour
This was an exceptional tour. Our driver Kevin & guide Karen were extremely knowledgeable about the entire area. We leaned a lot about the space program. We had Kevin pick us up & take us back to our place at Cocoa Beach. He was a perfect tour guide on the way back to Cocoa with his knowledge. Thank you Kevin & Karen

Awesome Space History Tour
This was a very informative tour. The lighthouse is interesting and an easy climb. The other stops on the tour include both restored and unrestored rockets and associated vehicles, and space launch facilities. The all analog launch control center is like something out of a time capsule, perfectly preserved in every respect! Our guides were very helpful and explained little known details of many of exhibits. Whether you are a space nut, or just looking for an interesting activity while in the area, don’t miss this tour! The tour pick up and drop off point is at Sand’s Space History Museum a free museum with many historic artifacts of space exploration.

Amazing!
My daughter and I did this tour and it was amazing. Our guide Kevin was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. We were fortune to be able to go into hangar C where many of the refurbished rockets were being housed. That was amazing. At launch complex 26 we were treated to a tour by a gentleman who worked on the Snark rocket back in 1952. He worked at the base for an eternity and still remembered everything like it was yesterday. Most of the people on this tour are volunteers and love what they are telling you about. So much pride comes across in their chats. You should absolutely do this tour.

Better than we could have ever imagined!
Better than we could have ever imagined! Shelly and Karen were great leading our group of seven. We toured the lighthouse which had an army of docents providing all sorts of information and history. We also visited four plus different space flight sights, facilities museums and equipment areas. Again with docents. Amazing and a thrill! A full 4 hours. (don’t worry lots of restroom stops and they had bottle water for us too) We recommend the tour to all that appreciate a deep dive into cape canaveral! (Our group was on a cruise that docked in port canaveral. The tour van picked us up and dropped us off at the cruise ship dock.)

Unbelievable private access !!
Amazing Experience!!! Our tour guide and driver were so knowledgeable about everything, Space and Cape Canaveral. Canaveral Tours gives you access to places on the Space Coast that I never knew existed and I have been a Brevard Co. resident for 23 years.

Loved the tour – great mix of history
Love the combination of Space Force and the lighthouse. Fascinating combination that takes you around Canaveral and deep into a fascinating history. Mock 1950s style rocket launch was awesome, history of people and monkeys launched into space was another fascinating part. Our guide and the other guests were amazing
Wildlife Tour Reviews
Canaveral tours went above and beyond! Our family did an airboat tour Jan 1. They picked us up at the port and arranged everything. Special thanks to Kevin who was an awesome tour guide!!
Awesome!!! Speedy and Tonya were great and very knowledgeable. We saw dolphins, manatees and various birds. Very, very relaxing. Would highly recommend to everyone of all ages. 😊
Fun, relaxing, informative! The guides were great! Very knowledgeable.Well worth the price!
So much more than just a tour! Shelly and Karen brought history alive and current! The lighthouse is a stunning example of architecture and the view from inside is wonderful. The lingering visits to several historical launch pads was very memorable and a little eerie given the success and tragedy surrounding each site. Exciting to see the busy new work, complete with its own drama, creating new opportunities to dream. Highly recommended!
I brought my mom with me for a short vacation before the new school year. The tour far exceeds an and all expectations! The owners are very knowledgeable, and they make the tours so much fun! I highly recommend them if you want to see some incredible wildlife you don’t get to see on a daily basis. My mom cannot stop talking about how much fun she had!
We had been trying to visit the Canaveral Lighthouse for several years. We learned that the previous tour provider could not accommodate smaller groups and therefore often canceled. This brought us to Canaveral Tours.We were impressed with Canaveral Tours from the beginning. The 10 seat van is perfect. The seats are wide, plush, and comfortable. The environmental system in van assured well circulated and cool airflow, even in the back. The public address system is excellent. There was never an issue of an inability to hear or follow the commentary.The two guides were knowledgeable, personable and accessible. Their experience with the area really enhanced the tour. They were both well spoken and helpful.The tour of the launch pads and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station were such a great look at the history of our space program. The Sands Space History Center was an informative final stop to the tour.Some above and beyond items of note. They take a photograph of each reservation group on the tour at the staircase of the lighthouse. They then send it to you as part of a personalized email. A nice touch. They also offer complimentary bottles of water to keep everyone hydrated. A welcome item, especially in the summer months.They also provide wildlife tours which would undoubtedly be just as well done. This is a well run tour operator with superior equipment and customer service.
Lighthouse Tour Reviews
Awesome experience. From the lighthouse to the various Launch Control sites and various museums, this is definitely a tour worth taking. Karen was awesome with her knowledge of history as well as current up to date happenings on the Space Force Base, NASA and Cape Canaveral.
The guides were super informative, friendly, timely and understanding. The cost very affordable. My special group of mixed personalities isn’t always easy to please, however, this tour of the Lighthouse and Space program was incredible. Everyone had a great time. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about the Cape and its history. Thank you.
Fantastic tour of the Cape! The guides were friendly & informative. See where the launches took place and get to tour a lighthouse too! The history is fascinating and the story continues. If you don’t normally like “bus tours”, this one is worth the time if you want experience where the launches happened & have access to the museums located on the base.
Amazing tour! Guides were knowledgeable, entertaining, and extremely friendly. Would definitely do it again, a must for space fans!
Lovely place to spend your time on a Sat or Sun, breakfast with beautiful view you can see the ocean, all the cruise ships from above, if you’re lucky you might see a live ticket lunch. Then you have other fun events. Took my friends to the boat show, enjoy the few pics I took. If you enjoy boats and big rigs that tow them beasts that this is for YOU! The show is on Sat & Sun May 20th & May 21st 2023
Amazing and informative! Knowledgeable and fun tour hostesses made it even better! Getting to see Hangar C was an unexpected treat. Highly recommended if you have any interest in lighthouses, missile and/or space history.
