Orange Beach Dolphin Eco Boat Tour

Overview

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.

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 and swamps where few other boats can go, providing you with a truly unique and memorable experience.

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.

Normally love dolphin tours even those where see little or no sightings of dolphins. On this tour we saw few sightings. Not really surprising. The 2 crew members were intent on selling what we regarded expensive drinks and snacks, and didn’t look for any dolphins until the captain was concerned it was looking like there would be no sightings. The captain seemed intent on playing loud music and singing along rather than looking for dolphins. He must have been thankful one of the other tour groups radioed him to let him know where the dolphins were. The only positive thing to say was some of his tales were interesting and at times funny.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Our crew is trained to be attentive to our customers' needs, their intent is never to pressure anyone into purchasing drinks or merchandise. While we usually have many dolphin sightings throughout the day, us dolphin cruises work together on days where dolphins are not as playful. We invite you to cruise with us again so we can change your negative experience into a positive one!
