Dolphin Cruises
Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
There’s only one thing better than taking a ride around the beautiful coastal waters of Alabama, which is experiencing dolphin sightings during your vacation! While visiting Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, there are plenty of chances to see these friendly creatures. You may catch a glimpse of them bobbing out of the water from the beach or your condo balcony, but the best way to see them is out on the water. Fortunately, you can do just that with the variety of dolphin cruises in the area.
Here in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, multiple tours are offered on various vessels, including glass-bottom boats, sailboats, catamarans, catboats, and kayaks. Since we are surrounded by water, you can find dolphins in the Gulf or along the backways and inlets, and cruises are available in all three.
When you embark on one of these fun tours, not only will you see dolphins, but you’ll learn about them from our knowledgeable guides. The boat’s captain or tour leader will inform you about the behaviors and habitat of the dolphins that live along the Gulf Coast and show you where they like to hang out. As you cruise through the waters, be on the lookout and have your cameras ready when they appear. You might catch a fin rising above the surface or see a few dolphins pop up to say hello.
While these excursions are available throughout the day, the evening is one of the best times to go. You can catch the sun setting over the water as you watch for dolphins. During your tour, you’ll probably spot other wildlife in the area, so keep your eyes peeled.
Some of the cutest and friendliest residents on the Alabama Gulf Coast, dolphins’ playful nature makes them hard to resist. During your stay in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, book a dolphin cruise to get an up-close look at these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.
