The Activity we Experienced
What we chose to do
Dolphins Surfed the Wake of Our Boat
How did you discover this activity?
We found TripShock on Google when searching for dolphin cruises in Orange Beach.
When did you book your tour compared to the departure date?
We booked a couple of days before the cruise.
Why did you choose this activity?
We were on a family vacation and had four small children with us. We thought they would enjoy a trip that allowed them to see dolphins, as well as ride a boat on the bay.
How did you get to the activity location?
Getting to The Wharf was just a quick car ride from our beach resort.
What was your experience with the activity’s staff?
Captain Jeremy was great! He welcomed us onto the boat when we arrived, and his commentary throughout the trip was very informative and entertaining. His crew, Lauren and Lindsay, were so very nice and helpful.
Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?
From the time we departed the dock until we returned, Captain Jeremy entertained us with fun facts about the history of Orange Beach, other boats we were passing in the marina, and the dolphins we were all so eager to see. Once we found a couple of pods of dolphins, he was able to get them to engage with the boat, and they swam behind us in the waves of the boat. We all so enjoyed watching them jump and surf behind the boat.
As the sun was setting, we were surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. As we headed back toward the marina, the children were invited to come up to the cabin and be captain for a few minutes. It was a great experience for our kids!
Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?
I would definitely recommend this activity. It was our favorite activity of our entire trip and something my children will remember forever. The boat ride and crew are all top notch!
