First time on a dolphin watching cruise and it was amazing. Captain Tom did a great job and had a wonderful sense of humor. He answered questions and explained everything well. The dolphins did their part and showed off for us. Definitely recommend and definitely would go again.

    Dolphin cruise

    Work hard to find dolphins to watch, and they find them. They travel the bay til they find some willing leapers and then give them an opportunity to thrill the guests. Very nice boats and knowledgeable guides.

    I have done other dolphin cruises and didnt experience anything like what I did today. It was amazing.

    An amazing experience

    Captains are very entertaining and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend this tour. Also very accommodating to children and older folks.

    Exceptional dolphin tour. Best I have ever taken!

    Linda_T, Feb 2026
    Such a fun experience! From check-in to disembarkation, the whole operation was run so smoothly. We really felt welcomed and the crew shares the excitement of seeing the dolphins, even though they do and see this nearly every day. The boats were pristine, and the restrooms at the marina were impeccable. Cute little gift shop to buy those souvenirs, was the icing on the cake. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing multiple dolphins swimming, jumping, and leaping in the wake of the two boats, side by side. This was a fantastic experience, and worth every penny spent!

    Very satisfied

    The ONLY dolphin cruise to consider

    Robin_S, Feb 2026
    Lots of dolphins jumping between two boats. Get ready to video the experience. You won't believe what you are seeing.

    Mil fleet awesome

    Karen_R, Feb 2026
    This by far was the best dolphin cruise I’ve been on. I would recommend it to anyone looking to go on a dolphin cruise.

    You won’t be disappointed.

    Susan_S, Feb 2026
    We have been ‘snowbirds’ here for only 4 years. Our friends recommended going on this cruise so 3 years ago we did. We come every year and are never disappointed. We were so excited to see so many dolphins! The crew was professional and shared a lot of information about the dolphins. 5 +++++++ stars.

    Fantastic Dolphin Adventure!!

    Rhonda_L, Nov 2025
    My husband and I took our 6 and 7 year old grandchildren on this excursion! Wow! Wow! It was sooo fun! We saw 4 pods of dolphins, 3 dolphins per pod and it was fantastic!!! This company knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to watching dolphins swimming and jumping out of the water! They had 2 large boats that traveled side by side creating a huge “wave” effect at the back of the boats. The dolphins loved catching the waves and jumping jumping jumping out of the water. We got lots of great videos and our grandchildren loved watching the dolphins. The crew was ver knowledgeable, friendly, and took our safety very seriously! I would highly recommend this company if you’re wanting to see some cool dolphins close up, swimming and jumping! We would definitely book this adventure!

    Impressive! Safety! And the most fun!!

    Debbie_Y, Aug 2025
    It’s a father and son duo of captains! They do the boats side by side and have dolphins playing in the middle!! Great crew! Very good on safety! I’ve been on dolphins cruises Florida and California! I’ll be back here! Loved it! I’m looking at the fishing trips now!

    Wonderful dolphin excursion!

    Jessie_F, Aug 2025
    Amazing experience. Saw so many dolphins jumping and surfing the waves! We were able to stand by the bow to watch and my mom who has some mobility issues was still able to sit and watch! The crew was great!

    You do not need to look any further for an Orange Beach dolphin cruise!

    Erin_S, Aug 2025

    Johanna_M, Jul 2025
    Boat captain and his helper were very friendly. They knew right where the dolphins would be hanging out!

    The bar was set high!

    Tabatha_B, Jul 2025
    This was our first dolphin cruise and it was an AMAZING experience! Definitely set the bar high. The boats were exceptionally clean, the captain was super knowledgeable and kind, and the crew was so friendly and accommodating. We’d definitely do it again with Captain Philips! My husband is already wanting to plan a fishing trip with him for next year’s vacation!

    We did a 4:30 cruise and had a great time cruising the bay. We saw several dolphins and the kids really enjoyed it!

    Lots and lots of dolphins!!
