We had to pull over due to emergency vehicles, which made us a couple minutes late and they left without us. Minimal communication and no agreement to refund makes me not trust and want to book with this company again.

Its was the best dolphin tour we've been on yet! The dolphins were wonderful and crew had work to get them to play either us. They didnt give up and made sure we had the best time seeing the dolphins!!

Awesome tour! Great deck hand and saw lots of dolphins both far away & close up! We were lucky to be on a less crowded tour where we had lots of room to move around and talk to the staff! It was also a beautiful sunset cruise! We’ve done a few dolphin tours and I think this one was my favorite!

Great time. Tour guides were great and the time was well worth it. From start to finish. Guides were knowledgeable about the area.

I keep getting asked to leave a review, so here it is. I did not get to go on a cruise as they cancelled due to too few people signing up for our chosen time slot. I wish there was a way for that to be relayed to Viator, so they’d stop pestering me.

Fire!!! Best experience I’ve ever had. I’m a Mississippi man that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen better than a zoo

Enjoyed that there were deck areas to watch from as well as a seated interior area. The staff would make sure to point out any spotted dolphins or sea life so everyone had a chance to move to the area and look. We were lucky enough to see a mother dolphin and her baby. Some dolphins were riding on the wakes of the boat and playing alongside us. Great experience!

Very scenic view of the Alabama coast, beautiful! Loved getting to see the dolphins swim alongside the boat. Would definitely recommend,

Jake (I think that was his name) and Jen made the tour great with their humor, wit, and knowledge! Obviously the star of the tour 🐬🐬🐬 came out and showed us some love! 10/10 recommend!

Pleasant ride, even on a windy day. Beautiful sunset at the ending of the evening tour. From inside the cabin you are close to the dolphins at times.
Rocco_V, Mar 2026
It was awesome, well worth the money spent! The kids were really excited to see dolphins jumping in the water chasing the boat ! Would definitely recommend if you are down here !

it's a nice scenic boat ride and we actually saw several pairs of dolphins at multiple locations while enjoying the afternoon.

Nice tour. Started on time. Nice reminders to make it on time. Snacks offered and two different view points available.
Constance_B, Oct 2025
Overall, the cruise was subpar. We seen a few dolphins, but my family of five was stuck in the cabin the whole time. Everyone else flooded to the top of the ship so my kids had to watch from inside of the hot cabin and through windows. No PA system. So no music unless you were outside and on top of the boat. The host stayed outside as well so we were all just stuck inside, no knowing what was going on. This was a let down… we will not be returning customers on the cruise unfortunately. A waste of $130.

Great way to experience the water and shores around Ono Island. Great for a family excursion in the early evening.
Jill_L, Oct 2025
Beautiful sunset cruise. Enjoyed seeing the beauty of the gulf from the water. Also saw several dolphins!
Angela_A, Oct 2025
Loved the trip and dolphins. Being out on the water was nice and relaxing. Loved watching them jump out of the water.
lisa_b, Oct 2025
Because we had an 80 yo with us, we needed to stay downstairs. There was no intercom. They did explain that to us in the beginning. But we never knew which way to look, or what was happening. We did see some dolphins and that was terrific!
Kristen_C, Oct 2025
Everyone was so nice! It was a great experience, they had knowledge about dolphins and the waters. Thank you!
Nikindra_T, Oct 2025
We’re on a family trip visiting for fall break with a total of 30 people and we had a blast from the youngest kid to the oldest adult. Tour guide was awesome and very sweet! Definitely recommend to anyone visiting!
Rebecca_D, Sep 2025
It was great! Very relaxing with or without dolphins! We enjoyed the sunset, cool breeze, and music. We could also see jellyfish in the water beside the boat.
