Not necessarily, and staying in the back bays doesn't mean you're getting a lesser dolphin experience. Bottlenose dolphins regularly use Wolf Bay, Perdido Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the smaller waterways around Orange Beach, so many tours can search productive dolphin habitat without going offshore. Some cruises do include Gulf waters depending on their route and conditions.
