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.

Our family (including two teenagers and a 6 year old) traveled from Texas to visit Orange Beach. At the last minute, we booked a sunset and dolphin cruise with Cetacean. It was such an enjoyable and fun time for all of us, made possible by a great crew (Capt John and Tiffany) that truly cared about our experience. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Orange Beach.

We did the two hour nature and dolphin cruise with Captain Will and Carrie on 8/7/2019. We have 5 kids ages 10,9, 6,5 and 4. We all loved it the entire time! Captain Will had lots of stories to tell about working, studying and swimming with dolphins that kept us eagerly listening. They provide very reasonable snacks and drinks ($1 each) for the kids plus alcohol for the adults. There was a mix of couples plus families with kids and it was a great time. I picked this over going to the amusement park because the kids can do that anywhere. Captain Will let all the kids help drive the boat, which they loved! This company was a great choice! Anyone under 8 has to wear a life jacket per their policy but most of the water you go out on is shallow enough that you could stand up if necessary. There's flyers with discount codes at many of the local restaurants. $5 off each kid and $3 off each adult. I am prone to seasickness and I had no problems on this cruise. Even though it was a hot day, most of the seats are covered and there was a breeze so it was pretty comfortable.
