Set out on an unforgettable dolphin-watching adventure on the Southern Rose Dolphin Cruise in Orange Beach, Alabama....

I was a nearly 2 hour experience where we saw dolphins and all of our grandkids got to go upstairs on the southern rose and steer the boat, which was great fun for kids ages five through 14 in our group

Super Fun Day

We had an amazing time and were impressed by the workers and all the dolphins we saw!

Our dolphin cruise was so much fun. The crew was beyond nice and even walked around to take family pics! They were very knowledgeable about the area and marine life! There was no rush to move on when we found dolphins. Thanks so much!

Dolphin cruise

We were on dolphins within five minutes and started with them for quite a while.

Dolphins every where.

Passenger

This was touted as a sunset cruise but I thought 330 was a bit early. Also we were not on the boat we were sold. No biggie but should have been communicated.  Might have been nice to have more information about the waterways we were on and dolphin/water life facts shared.

Tons of dolphins

We saw lots of dolphins. The crew was nice and fun! The music was good! Highly recommend!

Great trip!

The cottage was perfect! Has a traffic light to help you cross the road!! Pet friendly!!

Mrs.

Quick break from work! Wife and I decided to book a Dolphin cruise. Had a great time. The staff was great and very informative! My wife love dolphins to the point of having a tattoo of one. She loved the experience! Would highly recommend going on this short cruise!

Great time!

The boat is very old and it was too many people on at one time. We road  the boat for about two hours and nevsaw one dolphin. I feel cheated out of my money because this is a tour they have been doing for many years.  How did they not know that Labor Day weekend the water would be very very busy and that the dolphins would be afraid to surface. Also when we arrived to redeem our tickets we were charged an additional $12.50 for just booking the tour. I was very upset and so was the entire group. We should have atleast gotten a rain check

It was the perfect experience. We have a family of 6 and it was so nice to have a privately chartered dolphin sightseeing experience. The Dolphins came very close to the boat and the tour was lovely. Our captain was kind and knowledgeable. Would recommend.

Lovely Trip

We had our first vacation to the Gulf Shores and we’re looking for family friendly activities when we came across the Dolphin Tours. Our son is autistic so we felt like a private tour may have been easier for everyone and we could not have been more pleased. Adrienne was just wonderful. He was great with both of our kids. Super pleasant, knowledgeable and was just great to talk to.  We got to see a handful of dolphins and got some great pictures. He even gave us some local dinner recommendations (Tin Top restaurant was GREaT). Top notch service and would definitely recommend. If we ever come back; we will be sure to visit again.

Excellent

If you like Christian music (I do not), this is a great cruise for you. If I had known they were promoting a religious atmosphere I would have chosen something else. On the other hand, We saw lots of dolphins, and the hosts were gracious and knowledgeable. They had a resident doggo, and two tiny kittens that the kids loved. The day was perfect, with a fantastic breeze and the sun low. The only negative was the music, which for me makes or breaks an experience.

Christian Music

We had a great time on our tour. We chose the morning option & we almost had a private tour!  The captain & first mate were awesome & very knowledgeable. We were able to see several dolphins playing close to our boat.

Great tour!

Really enjoyed the dolphins,the music and the captain and his wife.  Saw a few dolphins but was hoping for a bit more activity from them. Still a great entertaining ride

Great fun

After looking at several options we chose this charter just the right size for our family and were thrilled with the results!  We had several calm encounters watching the dolphins, a good deal of time with two different groups cruising and jumping in our wake right behind the boat, and still had time for some sightseeing in the bay and marina!

Way better than the big Dolphin cruise boats!

He put us with dolphins right away let my kids be kids on the boat. Knowledgeable about the surrounding area. When I come back to orange beach I'm calling Back Bay.

Excellent Trip, Dolphins were the goal, for.my daughter and granddaughter, and boy was it a score!
We watched a group of five or 6 all around us , them when captain Matt eased off the dolphins followed, jumping into and surfing the wake, they followed for a t least a mile or more! Great boat,, courteous and informative captain! 5 of 5 stars!

Best Private Dolphin Tour we’ve ever done!
