It was so fun to keep a lookout for the dolphins, which we spotted several times! Cheyenne was a super hostess and the captain had great info on the area etc.

Thank you for cruising with us, Sally! We are so glad you enjoyed a lovely evening with our super-crew!

Dolphin adventure

Thank you, Jim! We hope we will see you again!

great tree

We only saw 2 dolphins and they were at a distance. We saw more dolphins from our condo balcony   The staff was friendly.    Only we were told 20% discount when wearing our cruise band. when eating at Dickies. However Dickies refused to honor the 20% off said they never heard of that discount   Find another dolphin cruise

Hey Deana, we are truly sorry about your experience at Dick’s last resort. They do honor the 20% discount, but perhaps a new employee was unfamiliar with our partnership.

As for the dolphins, it is unfortunate that we experienced a “slow” day where sightings are concerned. We observe them in their natural habitats and do not entice them to change their natural behaviors.

We hope you’ll give us another shot to change your negative experience.

We had a great time cruising on the Sunny Lady to see dolphins!  We were lucky enough to see a Mom and baby dolphin several times, along with many others.

We have 5 kids so when I say I was nervous taking them all on a boat to see dolphins I'm not kidding. After hearing the safety speech and hearing the captain have humor I was relaxed. The crew was super helpful and kind they have food, drinks, and snacks for the kids but also adult drink! Very shortly into the trip we saw dolphins the captain made sure to let us all have plenty of time watching them play but also allowed time to just relax to enjoy the rest of the ride. Plenty of sits no over crowding. Definitely want to go again

Loved it!

Staff were great, ride was great, we saw so many dolphins!

Capt Larry and crew were amazing!! We were able to see several dolphins.

Dolphin sitings

We chose this cruise mostly based on the time we had and I wanted a pontune type boat to be close to the water and not be too crowded. This was a great trip and loved the vibes on the cruise. We saw some dolphins and they even provided blankets when it was a little cooler going fast. I get motion sick and this was just great. We all really enjoyed our time! Would definitely recommend!

Great family outing!

Crew was very helpful and considerate of my wife’s disability. Overall it was a good experience and fun.

Captain Don was amazing at spotting dolphins and getting us close to watch them. Very professional and knowledgeable as well as obviously very experienced with driving the boat using small maneuvers to keep the dolphins in sight as they moved through the water. The large party boats not only were loud and obnoxious, but couldn't do what he could with his boat. It was a perfect and romantic evening we will never forget!

Amazing Evening

Was a very memorable moment for my 4- year old on Easter evening ! We saw plenty of dolphins and Capt Don was very knowledgeable of the area! Definitely worth it!!!

Great Experience!

My kids loved the dolphin excursion. The dolphins were so close and we were able to get great pictures and videos.

Had a private dolphin tour with Captain Don.  He was polite, informative but let us enjoy our time together as a family. And he found us all the dolphins!!!! Exciting and recommend them!

Captain Don is great!

Even if we hadn't found the dolphins it would have been worth the money, for the boat ride and seeing the sunset. It was so much fun.

We had a blast. Unfortunately our trip was cut a little short due to lightning but other than that it was fun!!

We had our first vacation to the Gulf Shores and we’re looking for family friendly activities when we came across the Dolphin Tours. Our son is autistic so we felt like a private tour may have been easier for everyone and we could not have been more pleased. Adrienne was just wonderful. He was great with both of our kids. Super pleasant, knowledgeable and was just great to talk to.  We got to see a handful of dolphins and got some great pictures. He even gave us some local dinner recommendations (Tin Top restaurant was GREaT). Top notch service and would definitely recommend. If we ever come back; we will be sure to visit again.
