I did a lot of research and reading reviews before choosing this tour. The experience lived up to the reviews. Our family ranges in age from 8-18, so finding something entertaining for everyone is not always easy. It was the last night of our vacation and a wonderful way to top off the trip. There are 2 boats that set out together. Once we were underway, you were allowed to stand at the railing. I read previous reviews and knew to stay to the middle and back of the boat for the best views. We quickly came upon a pod, but they weren't interested in playing, so the captain moved on. He reminded us that these are wild animals, so we can only invite them to play and move on if they don't. The second pod we came upon was so friendly and playful. The boats run side by side and create a wake that is almost like a stage. The dolphins swam, jumped, spun, and dove again and again for several minutes before deciding they were done. This was within the first 30 minutes. After that, they continued to cruise the bay and look for more pods to play. We say several more dolphins and got a few to jump, but not like the first time. It was still a beautiful cruise in a calm bay. My daughter, it turns out, is prone to sea sickness. She had a few moments where it caused mild symptoms, but not enough to spoil the experience. If you are looking for an amazing experience seeing dolphins, then this is the trip for you!

This was recommended to us by some family and it did not disappoint. You have many options for dolphin cruises in the OBGS area, but this one was the best. Our trip made three passes where dolphins were jumping from the waves. They are social creatures and love to perform, and you will get some great pictures. A must.

We have been on other dolphin cruises and they are just so/so. Not the case here! There were so many dolphins, and they played in the boats waves. It was almost like a theme park show, seriously! Captain and staff were super nice and made the trip enjoyable! Definitely something that you should do while in the area.

It didn't take long for the captains to find dolphins that wanted to play. The dolphins put on quite a show. Very exciting to see.

Best dolphin show we’ve ever seen! Our captain got us on the dolphins right away, and Skipper J was both entertaining and informative!

We had a great time and it took no time to find a pod of dolphin who loved to jump and dance for our two boats! It was so much fun!

The weather was a little "iffy" as we were driving to Orange Beach, and we wondered if the dolphin trip would be cancelled. Luckily, it was a go! They guaranteed that we would see dolphins and we did!! It was a great cruise, and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation! Well worth the fee!

We could do this trip again & again, it was by far one of our top experiences while traveling! Great family team with a laid back feel. They really want you to see dolphins, enjoy yourself and come back to see them. Beautiful sunset and many playful dolphins! Highly recommend!

This has got to be one of the best dolphin cruises available. It is a fishing style boat that only holds about 50 passengers. It is basically all open and the view of the dolphins is great from anywhere on the boat. There are two boats, one with passengers and the other with just the captain. They travel beside each other creating a wake which lures the dolphins to jump between the boats. We saw so many dolphins and all up close. The passengers were cheering and clapping every time the dolphins jumped out of the water. I can't recommend this company highly enough and so reasonably priced! A definite must do when in Orange Beach!!

You need to call ahead of time to make reservations for a party that large, to guarantee that they can fit you.

I just bought tickets for next week, but am concerned about one of the "rules". It says no black-soled shoes are allowed on the boat & they can be left by the dock if needed. My shoes have black soles and I can't walk barefoot. Are they strict about this? Do they check all feet?

The particular boat that we were on was not wheelchair accessible. You may want to call and ask though, because they have several other boats in their fleet. :-)

We are thinking about making reservations for our family of 17, ages 1-64. My question is this: my daughter-in-law is 7 months pregnant and I'm wondering if it would be safe for her to ride the boat?

How to dress, cost, cruise times.
Jim H
Little Rock, AR17 aportes
Shoes- only people who had to remove their shoes were those wearing shoes with black soles.
Cost- Normal cost seemed to be about $20 plus tax (~$22.50 with tax) for the double surf dolphin Cruise. I signed up a head of time on their website for their newsletter and was promised a discount coupon for doing so. At the time of the cruise, I still had not received a coupon so I mentioned it and received $2 off per adult ticket. They also had a sunset cruise which includes the dolphin double surf component as well. The sunset cruise was ~$5 more than the regular daytime cruise.
Schedule- the schedule apparently varies. When we were there the Tuesday and Wednesday before Memorial day, their only cruises were at ~ 4p for the cheaper cruise and 6:15 pm for the Sunset Cruise. The time for the sunset cruise probably varies as the sunset times change over the summer. Note: some other reviews from previous years seem to indicate that they may have additional cruise times during the day during peak season which I am guessing would be from Memorial day to labor day. Therefore, you really need to give them a call to determine all possible cruise times for the dates that you will be in the area. I would definitely recommend that you get a reservation if at all possible.
Dress – I did not see a dress code other than no black sole shoes. My guess is that anything reasonable for a boat trip and potentially getting splashed with water should be fine. For many, it might be a good idea to have some sunscreen available as well as sunglasses and/or a hat.
Related tip…It was difficult to get good pictures of the dolphins as we cruised at high speed while the dolphins were doing their thing as I was trying to hold and operate the camera with one hand and hold onto the railing with my other hand (for some that first step backward is a significant drop). This made it difficult to center action pictures (remember bright sunlight on your screen), etc. Therefore, #1) be sure your camera is tethered to your hand/arm and #2) you might also want to bring some type of quick release strap that based on your best judgment you might consider using to tether yourself to the railing so as to free your other hand to help with the camera. You will understand more why I say that when you see how the boat is configured.
