Sunset cruise

My family enjoyed the sunset dolphin cruise very much. Captain was funny. Crew was friendly and the music was good. Our last dolphin cruise was in South Padre a few years ago over Thanksgiving and was freezing cold. Enjoyed the warm weather and the beauty that Alabama always has to offer. Would recommend to anyone looking to cruise in the Southern Rose. We will likely see you all again someday.

Great crew, great time

The cruise was lots of fun, and the crew was amazing. The captain was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with interesting facts about the area, and the dolphins.

SO FUN!

The captain was great & we saw a couple of dolphin.  We were hoping for more dolphin spotting.  The captain went the xtra mile to be sure we at least saw a couole dolphin.

Dolphin cruise

Horrible not enough room for wheelchair very tight.

We have a been out on a few dolphin cruises here and we like going on them as we don't have a boat ourselves at the moment. What I liked: being on the water. What I didn't care for: We wanted to be outside to enjoy the weather but we ended up being in the back left corner of the boat so we could smell the diesel after awhile. Since we didn't want to get stuck inside, we dealt with it. There was a speaker right above us but we could not hear one word from the person speaking, even when we were sitting still trying to see dolphins. That could be greatly improved as no one near us could hear anything either. Not likely to take any friends on this one because we prefer to have more outdoor room and we prefer to be able to hear what is being said.

It was ok

Passenger

We saw 3 dolphins for about a total of 15 seconds at the start of the tour. We spent the last hour and a half wishing the tour would get over with.

I have been on a couple dolphin cruises and they have all been crowded.  This cruise was no exception. We only spotted 4-5 dolphin but it is understood there are no guarantees of sightings.  We started in the upper deck which the captain said was air conditioned and quickly realized it was either not working or just not keeping up and there was no air flow.  Moved to the lower deck which was open and allowed for adequate airflow to help keep you cool.  Captain was knowledgeable and pointed out many points of interest with historical background of each point.

Dolphin cruise.

We didn’t see any dolphins but the ride was good and they offer food. Bathrooms were clean. We will go again.

Captain Matt

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.

Super fun experience

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!

The staff were wonderful and many dolphins. Only issue was the radio for the boat was sketchy so we didn’t hear a lot of what they said while out in the water

Great trip

Dolphins cruise

The captain was very knowledgeable and found the dolphins quickly and handled the boat with masterful finesse. The staff on the boat was full of information of the dolphins and surrounding areas while explaining what we were seeing from the boat and in the water. It was a great time, I'm glad we booked with them.

They took us to see the lady of the lake and a few other spots telling us about the area. We got to quite a show with the dolphins and they even followed them some so we could see more. 10/10 absolutely wonderful! And having it just be our family and the captain/crew was perfect!

Amazing

Our captain was amazing! I highly recommend taking a private tour. Able to maneuver to the dolphins way easier than a large tour, and just a more relaxed time.

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!!

It was the perfect experience. We have a family of 6 and it was so nice to have a privately chartered dolphin sightseeing experience. The Dolphins came very close to the boat and the tour was lovely. Our captain was kind and knowledgeable. Would recommend.

Lovely Trip

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.
