Highlights
Savor a stunning sunset with one of our signature cocktails—there’s no better way to wrap up the day! Hop aboard The Explorer, our 40-foot pontoon-style vessel, for a two-hour Orange Beach, AL dolphin and nature cruise that blends all the highlights of a dolphin tour with extra float time. Our friendly tour guide and captain will point out local wildlife and plants—you might spot osprey nests, herons, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and more. Thanks to The Explorer’s shallow draft of just 16 to 18 inches, we can get close to the shoreline, offering a one-of-a-kind, memorable experience. Dolphin sightings are guaranteed, or you next trip is free!

Itinerary
Dolphin sightings are guaranteed! As we seek our local dolphin pod, we will navigate the scenic back bays of Orange Beach, Alabama. Our knowledgeable tour guide and captain point out the local flora and fauna. You may see osprey and their nests, herons, bald eagles, and red-tailed hawks. The Explorer allows us to get as close as safely possible to the banks and the local marine and wildlife. Because the boat only needs 16 to 18 inches of water underneath, we can sneak into creeks where few other boats can go, providing you with a truly unique and memorable experience. Experience an unforgettable Orange Beach sunset with us aboard The Explorer!

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.
