Great crew, great time
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.

Fun time
The dolphin cruise was fun! We saw several dolphins! The captain would turn the boat so everyone could see as many as possible.

Could not breathe
Make sure you break your own respiratory system because if not, you may as well be sucking on the exhaust pipe on the back of that boat.whew we came off that boat with raging headaches. And we saw a whopping 1 dolphin .

Nice Boat Ride But We Saw No Dolphin
I’ve been on many Dolphin cruises & this one was disappointing. The crew was very friendly but did not give any narration or history on the location or interesting points as we traveled. I believe that helps if you do not happen onto dolphins. My sister and I did not see any dolphin, although the crew did say there were a couple.

Really nice 2 hour excursion. Saw numerous dolphins swimming in front and along sides of boat. Well worth the cost for sure

Not as advertised
Aaron (captain) & Mark (crew member) were very knowledgeable as well as entertaining. We did see several pods of beautiful, graceful dolphins. That being said, i would not book another cruise with the Southern Rose Dolphin group.
The boat never left the Ono Island area of the bay. We watched/followed the same pod of dolphins in a very limited area.
The dolphin cruise was listed as 1.5-2hours. It started at 3pm; we were in our vehicle pulling out by 4:20pm.
You have to pay a 15% fuel fee on top of what you've already paid, which was around $9.
