Orange Beach Dolphin Eco Boat Tour
Description
Join us for a one-and-a-half-hour dolphin cruise and enjoy an up-close look at our resident pod. Between 50 and 70 dolphins call our bay home, and over the years we’ve gotten to know many of them by their unique dorsal fins. Aboard The Explorer, our 40' pontoon-style vessel, we’ll introduce you to these playful friends. Dolphin sightings are guaranteed—if you don’t see any, your next trip is free! This experience is perfect for families or anyone looking for a dolphin-focused adventure in Orange Beach. Our knowledgeable guides can identify many of the dolphins and share fun facts about their behavior, habitat, and relationships within the pod.

We only saw 1 dolphin, which did not jump out of the water. Two very disappointed children. Although, the staff and captain were wonderful!
This is a great way to spend a couple of hours. Our captain took a little more time just to make sure we got to see plenty of dolphins. They even offer on board drinks and even a few dad jokes. You can’t beat the price for a great time.
Amber, thank you for joining us and sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear both Captain and Crew made it a great experience. We hope to see you again soon.

This was a great tour. Captain Smitty and crew were amazing. There were great jokes, nice drinks both alcoholic and non. We saw several dolphins during the tour. I would definitely recommend this boat! Oh! I had to change the reservation suddenly and they were very accommodating.

Fun trip out onto the water! If you worry about getting motion sick, this is a smooth ride. You can move about the boat, and it was fun to go to the front and get a good look at the dolphins.
