5Great experience
The dolphin excursion was fun and relaxing, and my friends and I had a great time. The crew was amazing.
5They ended up upgrading...
They ended up upgrading us to the 1.5 hr sailboat tour later in the afternoon and it was awesome! They communicated about the change and gave us the option to schedule the 2 hr tour another day or do the sailboat tour the same day but in the afternoon. I’m glad we chose the upgrade. We saw dolphins most of the trip including the baby dolphin. The crew on the sailboat was super nice and even offered to take pictures of my wife and I. We had assigned seats at tables on the deck and you could purchase drinks and light snacks if you so desired.

About Orange Beach
Orange Beach is a Gulf Coast resort town in Alabama, with white quartz-sand beaches, a busy marina and quiet bays and bayous behind the dunes.
Orange Beach lies on a barrier island along Alabama's short Gulf Coast, next to Gulf Shores and a few kilometres from the Florida line. The beaches are made of fine white quartz sand, washed down from the Appalachian Mountains, and are backed by dunes of sea oats and tall condominiums. Behind the town, Wolf Bay and Perdido Bay open into calm water for boating.
