Excellent experience EVERY TIME!!! - My husband and I have gone on this cruse 3 times with just the two of us and once we took 13 family members. We have always seen several dolphin, learned lots of interesting facts not only about dolphins but also the birds in the area and the fauna and foliage. I didn't take any pictures this time but it is always a great photo op and many on our cruise got great pictures and videos. I would suggest this cruise for anyone in the area. The staff are extremely good with children and let anyone captain the boat and get their pictures taken. We love it and our family all enjoyed it!!

Absolutely AWESOME for my family of 5! - Yes, we saw dolphins, but that was NOT the highlight of the trip! The staff was! Captain Lynn and his crew Jennifer and Marc were so kind, thoughtful, and especially inclusive to each and every person on the boat. The spacing was not crammed, they kept the kids happy, they gave turns to the kids to “drive the boat” and honk the horn, they were funny, I could just go on and on. As a certified horse and mule back trail guide for ten years, this crew earned serious merit from me. We will absolutely choose this again when we swing through again! 10/10 DO THIS TRIP!

Best Dolphin Cruise in Orange Beach, AL - This dolphin cruise was amazing, you are up close seeing the dolphins & so many even saw a newborn 3days old! Captain Lee & his crew was fun & personable, they were so accommodating. Our grandson got to be “Co Captain” too. This boat was just perfect size & amount of passengers. We have been on many dolphin cruises never like this plus the price was so reasonable!! Don’t think about another cruise this is the ONE!!

Best dolphin cruise I’ve ever been on. - The captain and his crew were amazing.. Great sense of humor and knowledgeable of the area and the wildlife we observed.. On this sailing we encountered more dolphins than I could have predicted .Through the years my family and I have been on numerous dolphin tours in Myrtle Beach.We found this one to be the most enjoyable.. The ladies working on board were super friendly, engaging and extremely attentive to all our needs. We highly recommend this tour.

Not worth it - Advertised as a two hour trip. I was 90 minutes. At one hour we spotted dolphins and the captain radioed another boat to come over and we left and headed back to dock cutting out trip short by 30 minutes All we saw was a few fins.
