The Best Dolphin Cruise in Alabama This is the Premier and by far the most popular cruise we offer. Our two-hour Orange Beach, AL dolphin and nature cruise combines all the features of the dolphin cruise with extra floating time through the hidden creeks of the back bays. We spend the first hour locating and observing our local dolphin pod, and we spend the second hour far up in the swamps. Our knowledgeable tour guide and captain point out the local flora and fauna. You may see osprey and their nests, herons, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and maybe even an alligator or two. The Explorer allows us to get as close as safely possible to the banks and the local marine and wildlife. Because the boat only needs 16 to 18 inches of water underneath, we can sneak into creeks and swamps where few other boats can go, providing you with a truly unique and memorable experience.

Unexpected amount of dolphins seen & enjoyed the boat, the staff & the captain's informational comments. Ease of booking, moved to the next day due to weather issues. We've seen dolphins in various locations outside of Alabama but these were frequently in sight & they did a lot of work to stay in our sight !
My only negative was the blender running during the trip.

We had a great trip. The captain followed a pod of 10 dolphins so we could see them. He took his time and let us enjoy the dolphins for as long as possible.

We watched lots of dolphins. Captain Will had lots of information to share and shared cute stories of how he became a captain. All the people working on the boat were so kind and friendly. We had two of our Grand Daughters with us and they had so much fun. The youngest enjoyed the dolphins alot.

absolutely wonderful. Went in late September 2022. Flew down to Gulf Shores and met up with our family from Cullman, AL. Decided to try one of these cruises with the little kids. Everyone had a great time. Captain and crew were knowledgeable and entertaining. Spotted the first dolphins before we even left the dock! Honestly, must have seen 30-40 dolphins - as well as an eagle, lots of pelicans and some terrific houses along the waterway. The little ones got to pilot the boat and enjoyed some sleight of hand from the captain. Would highly recommend this to anyone... really. such a great time.
Prices were very reasonable and parking was close by and plentiful.

This dolphin cruise was amazing. The dolphins are everywhere and our driver was more than willing to follow them all over the place. What makes the business superior is how they treat their customers. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They staff takes good care of the customers. My party traveled with a handicapped gentleman and they were super friendly, helpful and accommodating. There were also many children on board and the staff was wonderful with kids. They let them each drive the boat for a few minutes. They taught the kids to feed the seagulls. I dont think a better experience could be had by anyone. I strongly recommend this boat ride. You'll have the time of your life and excellent memories.

This was an awesome tour! We saw dolphins, bald eagles, golden eagles, cormorants and herons. The captain’s commentary was informative, educational and kept us entertained. We all - from 5 years, teens, and older - enjoyed the ride. We would do it again.

The captain and crew were some of the best I’d ever experienced. So very educational! The drinks and music were a definite plus!
