Dive In

Dolphin Tours

Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are famous for their accessibility to dolphins via cruises and tours. Enjoy your time on a boat as you get up close and personal to these playful majestic creatures as they swim alongside your vessel. Dolphin cruises are amongst our most popular tourist attractions on Alabama's Gulf Coast.

Kayak Tours

Sure, you could rent a kayak and go off on your own, but here’s what’s waiting for you in a kayak tour:

  • A boat ride to the hidden-away places, known only to the guides and only accessible by kayak
  • Glimpsing osprey, pelicans blue herons and pelicans
  • Getting up close to playful dolphins
  • A relaxing and surreal experience you’ll never forget
Segway Tours

Why walk when you can roll? And let’s face it; Segways are just cool. After a quick tutorial on how to operate them and stay balanced, you’re off on fun guided adventures through backcountry trails where your guide will point out birds, deer, and other animals. Segway tours are a low-intensity activity suitable for all ages while also giving you a thrill of driving a fun motorized toy!

Exploring Outdoors

Hot-Air Balloon Tours

It’s up, up and away on a hot-air balloon flight over Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, gently soaring over bays, bayous, and beaches. Flights generally take place in the early morning or later evening when the winds are lightest. Hot air balloon rides are an adventurous activity, perfect for a couple's vacation or a small group.

Helicopter Tours

Taking off from Gulf Shores Airport, helicopter tours offer a variety of choices. Go purely scenic, flying above the dazzling Gulf Shores and Orange Beach shoreline for the best view you've ever seen. Or take a ride into the past, flying over the Civil War-era Fort Morgan and nearby Fort Gaines. From a helicopter at that height, you’ll be able to spot shipwrecks resting on Alabama's Gulf sands as well fish and dolphin swimming below.

Delta Safari Tours

An ecotourism jewel just north of Mobile Bay, the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta includes a variety of habitats, including cypress swamps, brackish marshes, bottomland forests and underwater grass beds. A number of tour operators lead expeditions and delta safaris into the state’s largest wetland. Explore via airboat or tour boat. Either way, you will definitely see alligators.
