5.00The crew was great. The only negative was there are a lot of people in the boat so it isn’t always easy to see the dolphins, especially the kids. But overall everyone had fun.
Overpriced memories

2.00If you want to pay to ride around in circles this is for you. The boat stays in the bay and goes in circles. We could’ve seen the dolphins from the beach or the park near by, even our condo. Friendly staff but not worth it. Also don’t waste your money on the pina coladas or margaritas.
Good for family not older couples

3.00The boat inside seating was not comfortable & really could not see the dolphins from inside However if you sit or stand outside, they do take to place where dolphins are. The crew was very knowledgeable & kids will have a ball with water gun fight
Dolphins galore…

5.00We took the dolphin/sunset tour and it was amazing. We had a nice ride out through the bay and after about 45 mins we had multiple dolphins join the ride. The dolphins surged along with the boat for at least 25-30 minutes! They were swimming along on both sides of the boat, jumping and playing and enjoying themselves. It was the most wonderful thing to see and catch on video. The captain of the boat stayed out in the bay longer and even turned the boat around so everyone could enjoy the amazing sight. It was the best boat tour ever!
Wonderful sunset cruise

5.00My husband and I opted for this cruise and it was a wonderful way to spend some time for our 30th anniversary, we were able to see lots of dolphins playing and interacting with the different dolphin boats in the bay and the captain and crew were great with restaurant recommendations and local info on the homes and landmarks we passed by. Fun music played and great for adults and families. I would definitely take this again. My only advice is to be sure you leave for the docks early. We were traveling from our hotel in Foley and the 40 minute drive ended up taking just over an hour. We almost missed our cruise because of traffic and an expressway that is everything but an “express” way to get to your destination. That said, we made it and it was a wonderful experience, The sunset on the water is truly breathtaking.
Fun afternoon cruise

2.00Rented a condo thru beachball properties in Orange Beach, AL. TV and Toaster oven were broke when we got there. Notified Beachball the first day and it took them 4 days to come and look at the problem and then it wasn't until the next day before it was fixed. I found out their maintenance was told of the problem for 4 days even though they told me someone would be there in 24 hrs. or less.
