On our one-and-a-half-hour dolphin cruise, you’ll get an up-close view of our resident dolphin pod. Between 50 and 70 dolphins reside together in our bay, and by paying close attention to them over the years, we have named many of them. We know them by their unique dorsal fins and will introduce you to our water-loving friends when you cruise with us aboard The Explorer, our 40' Pontoon Style Vessel. Dolphin sightings are guaranteed, or you next trip is free!
Perfect for families or those just wanting a Dolphin-specific cruise in Orange Beach. Our expert guides can identify many of the resident dolphins and share fun facts about their behaviors, their habitat, and their relationships within the pod.

5.00Not too crowded on the boat, so plenty of room to look around for dolphins. Admission price was reasonable. Staff were friendly and engaging, making everyone feel welcome. The captain of the ship was able to collaborate with a nearby boat by agreeing to help make waves that some dolphins rode behind us, which made the ride all the more worth it. It was a real treat.
Great captain and crew!...

5.00My husband and I had an enjoyable time, despite the downpour. The captain was very entertaining and his assistants were very friendly. I was excited to see the dolphins in their natural habitat. Plan to do it again tomorrow with our children.
