Enjoy a beautiful sunset while enjoying one of our signature cocktails! There’s no better way to end the day! Join us aboard our two-hour Orange Beach, AL dolphin and nature cruise aboard The Explorer, our 40' Pontoon Style Vessel, This cruise combines all the features of the dolphin cruise with extra floating time through the hidden creeks of the back bays.
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 more.

5.00This was a 20/10 experience! Not only did we get to see several dolphins but the crew on the boat was phenomenal! The captain was so great with my 3 kids. They got to “drive” the boat for a photo opportunity and honk the horn! They loved that part. They all made sure we knew where the dolphins were to get good photos. They took pictures of our family and everyone’s families when the sun started to set.

4.00We were upgraded to the larger much better yacht. That was a win. Didn't see but one baby dolphin after two hours but the ride was relaxing. Wish we'd known we could bring snacks -not alcohol- which was the only thing mentioned. But we bought snacks onboard even though would have preferred something different. Glad there were very few kids on our boat. Next time - will reserve the bigger yacht to start and come better prepared for the ride.

5.00The boat ride is about 2 hours long and is very relaxing. Feel to bring your own drinks and snacks although you can purchase some onboard. It’s a fun excursion and the sunset was amazing!
