About this activity

The Best Dolphin Cruise in Alabama

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

This premier and most popular cruise offers a two-hour adventure in Orange Beach, AL aboard The Explorer, our 40' pontoon-style vessel. It blends the excitement of dolphin watching with extra time to relax on the water. Our friendly guide and captain highlight local plants and wildlife, from osprey nests and herons to bald eagles and red-tailed hawks. The Explorer can get close to the shore needing only 16 to 18 inches of water, giving you a one-of-a-kind experience few other boats can match.

Itinerary

  1. Orange Beach · 120 min

    Dolphin sightings are guaranteed, or your next trip is FREE! 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!
