Expect lots of fun and exciting Dolphin encounters on our tour! From time to time, we have water battles with several other vessels that we encounter while out on the water (rarely on the Sunset Cruise). If the Dolphin are feeling playful, they often surf in our boat wake while we are cruising, so have those cameras ready! Cruise time is 1 1/2 to 2 hours

It was so much fun! We sat inside and still got the most amazing views. Do yourself a favor and book this cruise!

We had to pull over due to emergency vehicles, which made us a couple minutes late and they left without us. Minimal communication and no agreement to refund makes me not trust and want to book with this company again.

Its was the best dolphin tour we've been on yet! The dolphins were wonderful and crew had work to get them to play either us. They didnt give up and made sure we had the best time seeing the dolphins!!

Awesome tour! Great deck hand and saw lots of dolphins both far away & close up! We were lucky to be on a less crowded tour where we had lots of room to move around and talk to the staff! It was also a beautiful sunset cruise! We’ve done a few dolphin tours and I think this one was my favorite!

Great time. Tour guides were great and the time was well worth it. From start to finish. Guides were knowledgeable about the area.

I keep getting asked to leave a review, so here it is. I did not get to go on a cruise as they cancelled due to too few people signing up for our chosen time slot. I wish there was a way for that to be relayed to Viator, so they’d stop pestering me.

Fire!!! Best experience I’ve ever had. I’m a Mississippi man that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen better than a zoo

Enjoyed that there were deck areas to watch from as well as a seated interior area. The staff would make sure to point out any spotted dolphins or sea life so everyone had a chance to move to the area and look. We were lucky enough to see a mother dolphin and her baby. Some dolphins were riding on the wakes of the boat and playing alongside us. Great experience!

Very scenic view of the Alabama coast, beautiful! Loved getting to see the dolphins swim alongside the boat. Would definitely recommend,
