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. The Explorer allows us to get as close as safely possible to the banks and the local marine and wildlife.

We were booked for the dolphin sunset cruise and had the opportunity to upgrade to the dolphin sunset cruise on a 52 foot sailboat yacht at no additional charge. It was awesome and thank you so much for the great time.

There was some confusion about where to go for the tickets, the name that I purchased from was sunny lady , that was not the boat we went on or what it said on our wristbands and the price was more for what I paid but not sure I got anything more than any other boat, it needs cleaned up

The whole staff was awesome! So much fun! Definitely worth it to go on this venture on The Explorer! I personally captured some great video!! A pack of dolphins followed us all the way back in! Couldn’t have asked for a better crew! Even met some great people!
