Reviews of Orange Beach: Private Dolphin Sightseeing Tour

Way better than the big Dolphin cruise boats!
After looking at several options we chose this charter just the right size for our family and were thrilled with the results! We had several calm encounters watching the dolphins, a good deal of time with two different groups cruising and jumping in our wake right behind the boat, and still had time for some sightseeing in the bay and marina!

Perfect for seeing dolphins!!
Matt was the perfect captain!! He took us right to where the dolphins were playing and swimming. It was such a cool experience. Matt is super knowledgeable about the area and took us on a great tour of luxury homes and yachts! Definitely so the private tour with Matt!!

Dolphins
He put us with dolphins right away let my kids be kids on the boat. Knowledgeable about the surrounding area. When I come back to orange beach I'm calling Back Bay.

Incredible sight seeing and better conversation.
Capt. Matt was great. He went above and beyond during the tour. Multiple pods of dolphins and he was very knowledgeable about the animals and area.

Matt was so friendly and knowledgeable! We saw lots of dolphins and even a baby. I’ve done other tours before and this was by far the best! Highly recommend!

Amazing Experience
Our family went on a sunset dolphin cruise and had such an amazing time. Matt was very knowledgeable and worked to get us the best show of the dolphins. Our kids had the best time watching the dolphins get right next to us and watching them jump. We will definitely be repeat customers if we are ever back in the area.

Dolphin hunting
Met Matt at the marina. Went out searching for dolphins. Matt ended up putting us on top of a group of at least 100 dolphins. Our group enjoyed it so much. Would definitely do it again.

Dolphin Cruise
This was the absolute best dolphin experience I have ever had. Captain Matt was very informative and fulfilled his promise of seeing dolphins. Also, the private dolphin cruise was sooo worth every penny. If you don’t want to be on a crowded boat and don’t have a huge group, I would for sure recommend Captain Matt and his private dolphin cruise. Thank you Captain Matt!!!

Unforgettable Dolphin Boat Trip, A Must-Do Experience!
Let’s just say, when two teenage girls willingly put down their phones without being asked, you know you're doing something right—and that alone deserves a 5-star review! From start to finish, this dolphin boat tour was nothing short of amazing. We saw dolphins, including baby dolphins (!!), gliding playfully alongside the boat. The scenery was stunning, with incredible views of gorgeous waterfront homes and jaw-dropping yachts. Captain Matt made the trip even more memorable with his deep knowledge of the area. He effortlessly answered all our questions—about the wildlife, the history, and even who owned some of the spectacular homes we passed. The perfect balance of fun, relaxation, and learning. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and engaging way to explore the coast!

We had a great trip with Captain Matt! He knows plenty of interesting facts about the area & about the bottlenose dolphins we saw. Great experience that we'll be repeating next year.

Private dolphin tour
We had a great time. It was the perfect way to do a cruise and look at dolphins for a family that likes to avoid crowds. Matt was a great tour guide and easy to chat with. We all enjoyed it.

I brought my two boys on vacation and didn’t want to deal with a large crowd and letting them see dolphins. I looked up private tours but the price was crazy.. until I found Matt! We had the best time and were able to see multiple different dolphins and even a baby!
