Overview

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.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Orange Beach Dolphin Eco Boat Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
