Savor a stunning sunset with one of our signature cocktails—there’s no better way to wrap up the day! Hop aboard The Explorer, our 40-foot pontoon-style vessel, for a two-hour Orange Beach, AL dolphin and nature cruise that blends all the highlights of a dolphin tour with extra float time. Our friendly tour guide and captain will point out local wildlife and plants—you might spot osprey nests, herons, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and more. Thanks to The Explorer’s shallow draft of just 16 to 18 inches, we can get close to the shoreline, offering a one-of-a-kind, memorable experience.

Dolphin sightings are guaranteed, or you next trip is free!

What To Expect

Orange Beach

Dolphin sightings are guaranteed! As we seek our local dolphin pod, we will navigate the scenic back bays of Orange Beach, Alabama. Our knowledgeable tour guide and captain point out the local flora and fauna. You may see osprey and their nests, herons, bald eagles, and red-tailed hawks. 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 where few other boats can go, providing you with a truly unique and memorable experience. Experience an unforgettable Orange Beach sunset with us aboard The Explorer!

What a fantastic time we had!

We were sad to be closing out our time together with family and decided book this dolphin and sunset cruise was the perfect way to just see the water and the sunset even in the colder weather right now. We had bundled up very well and the crew shared blankets that took the wind off of us that we appreciated. We were very comfortable and even were served coffee, hot chocolate, and adult beverages. We did not expect such a beautiful show from the dolphins!!! It was an honor to be in their space and to get to see them. The crew was kind and knowledgeable. They showed us a great time. We easily give this trip five stars.

We had an amazing time. The crew was awesome! The drinks were great. While we didn't see too many dolphins, they just weren't out, the Capt went out of his way to find the ones we did get to see. The sunset, however, was spectacular!! We will definitely take the grandkids when we come back down.
Great family fun!

We had a great time! Saw dolphin (5’they were pretty active and came right up to the boat a few times). We also enjoyed drinks and complimentary blankets on the cruise. Even though it was a little chilly we wouldn’t have missed our traditional dolphin cruise!
Fun dolphin and sunset cruise
