The crew were so unbelievably nice and kind! The experience was once in a lifetime! It was pretty cheap for how much fun it was and how much we got to experience. The dolphins were beautiful the boat was great. The captain drove the boat with absolute precision that I didn’t get seasick even though I do sometimes! Everyone was knowledgeable and you could tell they loved their job!

Family Friendly Experience

Pam_C, Apr 2026
We enjoyed our excursion. Saw a few dolphins, had activities to engage the children, which gave me time to enjoy the water and view. Offered ice cream for purchase. Crew was fun and engaging. It’s a 2-hr ride. Be on time. It was definitely with the cost.

Excellence experience

Darla_W, Apr 2026
Nicest crew ever! They went above and beyond to help us see Dolphins! Everything clean and nice!! We will be back!!

Great fun and engaging crew!

David_O, Apr 2026
Have lots of fun. Directions are accurate and easy to find. The boat is big enough and comfortable. The crew appears ex experienced and enjoys what they’re doing.

Great for kids!

Atkins_E, Apr 2026
This was really lovely. It was very steady, which we were worried about motion sickness. My kids were fine and loved being on the boat. It was a great amount of time and the last part learning about all the different animals and being able to see them was really cool. The people doing the cruise were really kind. Our kids have special needs and they were very accommodating

The best!

Crystal_H, Apr 2026
It’s highly recommended, don’t miss out! We will definitely be revisiting this cruise! They are so friendly that you forget your on there with new people!

Five star

angela_b, Apr 2026
The BEST kid friendly dolphin cruise I have taken and I been on plenty. To see the kids on the boat having a good time looking at the dolphins the workers so tentative to their customers and ending it with a fun water battle is TOP TIER. I HIGHLY recommend

My family loved it!

Samantha_D, Apr 2026
We loved our dolphin cruise with Rusty, Cowboy, & Coach! They knew exactly where to go to see the dolphins & very knowledgeable about the area. The kids loved seeing the blue crabs & other sea life & had a blast with the water gun fight at the end. Would def recommend this dolphin cruise!

Great time

Judy_A, Apr 2026

Heather_B, Mar 2026

Exceptional experience!

Haley_R, Mar 2026
The dolphin cruise was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever experienced!! We saw lots of dolphins (at least 20!!!) and the staff was great! We will be coming on this cruise every trip we take to orange beach!!

Fun experience!

Kaitlyn_G, Mar 2026
We had an amazing time on this Dolphin Cruise! Went with my husband and two girls (10 years old) and I think there was a little something for everyone. From the dolphins, to water fights and driving the boat, a great time was had by all of us. Also, a special shoutout to the crew, Rusty, JJ and Devon. They really made it a fun experience!

Great work!

Brenden_B, Mar 2026
Amazing experience. Kids getting to hold different ocean life was awesome. Watching kids laugh and play with all the others while shooting water guns as seagulls was next level excitement as a parent.

Fun boat Dolphin tour is a MUST!

Nancy_R, Mar 2026
From booking through Viator to getting on the boat was super quick and so smooth! The owner and his wife, and crew of boat number 1 were fun and so friendly. Our captain, Rusty started our trip out with GREAT and CLEAN tunes. This is a very family oriented tour. No alcohol allowed, which was so nice to see! No bad language our kids had to suffer through. Our Mates, Chris and Marissa were so fun and kept everyone on the boat entertained! The entire crew constantly made sure everyone knew where to look for dolphins! Dolphins were everywhere! They answered any questions we had and gave a great lesson to the kids about things we can’t see from the top of the water. Kids were allowed to touch the shrimp and small fish. Amazing experience all the way out and back to the port. The grand finale was a water fight between boat 1 and boat 2. Kids got soaking wet as well as many family members. We loved every second. To end the tour Rusty explained why they don’t serve alcohol on any of their vessels. It is so kids don’t have to see or hear things they shouldn’t. Each crew member was a great witness for the Lord and represented the owners company with total class!!! 1000000% satisfaction.

Amazing experience

dakota_j, Mar 2026

Nice cruise, initially...

LaDeitra_A, Mar 2026
Nice cruise, initially the lady that gives you the waiver was kinda short and not very friendly. She got friendly at the end (tip time) The other staff was nice.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Glad you enjoyed the cruise. Yes, you are correct on the fact that ALL of our staff is very nice and courteous to everyone.We are blessed with the absolute BEST STAFF that come back year after year to work on The Fun Boats. It is so unfortunate that your review attacks the motives and character of our staff with no mention of all the dolphins you saw or the fun time your children had with the sealife experience. PS for you knowledge, the young lady that checked you in is a mother of 3 small children who always works very hard and loves what she does. She is one of the kindest and hardest working people on our team. So your assumption of her is incorrect. Hopefully you DID tip the deckhands that you say were nice as they do work very hard to make sure ALL customers have a wonderful time!Have a great day.

Do it!

Good fun. Plenty of space. They work hard to make sure you see dolphins. Kids had fun with the other sea creatures they exhibited. Dress for a possibility of getting wet.

Great Family Fun

Fun Cruise

Ellen_M, Oct 2025
It was fun indeed. The crew was knowledgeable and interacted with the passengers well. I wished we could have went out in the Gulf but due to high winds we were not able to go out that far. Bring a light wind breaker if you are cold natured iand go in October. Our grands loved it as well.

One of kind experience
