Additional Information

Alabama’s Finest Dolphin Cruise
Our premier, and certainly our most favored, cruise offers a remarkable two-hour tour of Orange Beach, AL with a focus on dolphin watching and nature exploration. The journey is divided evenly: the first part is dedicated to spotting and observing our resident dolphin pod, while the latter takes you deep into the marshy depths of the back bays.
Guided by our expert captain and tour guide who shares insights on the regional wildlife and vegetation, you might come across ospreys and their habitats, herons, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and perhaps a couple of alligators. The design of our Explorer vessel allows us to get you safely closer to the banks teeming with local marine life and animals. Since it only requires a depth of 16 to 18 inches of water, we’re able to venture into hidden creeks and swamps untouched by most other boats, promising you a truly one-of-a-kind and unforgettable trip.

  • We have been able to accommodate most requests. Please call us at 251-550-8000 to discuss your needs with our staff.
  • Minimum of 18 pounds in order to board. Infants weighing less than 18 pounds will not be permitted to board.

The Ford Family Awesome Dolphin Eco Nature Cruise Adventure - Our family of 9 had an awesome dolphin Eco nature cruise on 6/19! Our Captain and crew were knowledgeable and friendly and we had multiple dolphin sightings and visits! The Captain made the cruise both fun and informative. Between the multiple dolphin sightings, various bird and wildlife views and the “water mist” that could be soaking, the Ford family had a memory making cruise! Thanks to the Captain and crew for an amazing cruise and for helping us create great family memories!

Excellent tour - This was the best dolphin cruise for our family! Captain Lynn, Tina, and Mike were all so kind and fun to talk with and they found several dolphins for us to watch. My kids (3 and 4 1/2) loved seeing the dolphins up close and especially loved the mango and strawberry virgin daiquiris. The crew provided life jackets for our kids to wear on board and checked on them frequently to make sure they weren’t overheating. At the end, both of my kids enjoyed driving with Captain Lynn and having their photo taken. They also loved the gift shop window, which was super reasonably priced.

Best Dolphin Tour!!! - This was an amazing experience! Both the captain and crew were funny and engaging, and so helpful. We saw SO MUCH unbelievable dolphin activity!!! The boat is small and quiet and it was a perfect intimate experience. We saw other tours that were huge- basically you and 200 of your closest friends-on boats that were packed, and I’m so grateful we chose THIS tour instead!! Our boat had 35 people on it. There was plenty of room to move around to see all the Dolphin fun and take tons of pictures. We will definitely return! 10 out of 10!!
