Best experience of our week long vacation! - Top notch from start to finish. Captain Lynn and his crew did an amazing job and we saw tons of dolphins and other wildlife. Cannot recommend these folks enough!

Best tour ever - It is definitely one of the best tours I have been on. Best thing to do while in Gulf Shores and the best bang for the buck. Four in our group and we all had an awesome time. The captain explained what was going on and where the dolphins were. And hey lets not forget the two gals serving us. They were also very friendly and helpful. A great tour for sure.

Fantastic trip!! - From beginning to end the crew and Captain Smitty were awesome. Fun atmosphere crew went beyond call of duty to keep a cute little toddler that was not happy in a good mood the whole trip. Saw so many dolphins- swimming, surfing along side the boat so amazing. Felt the price was perfect. And the trip really was 2 hours! Would do this one every year.

A CHILL backbay Dolphin watching excursion! - Captain Smitty and crew made this 2 hour back bay Dolphin watching excursion a delightful and relaxing experience. Would highly recommend for folks of all ages. Get a view of the inland waters, undeveloped and developed waterway frontage and the feeding/playground of the bottlenose Dolphin . Chill and enjoy!!

Don’t miss this tour! - Captain Len and his crew, Elena & Bella, made the tour one of the best we’ve been on! We saw lots of dolphins, osprey, and gulls. This was our second time in Gulf Shores but our first time going on a dolphin cruise in this area and we look forward to coming back in 2026! We highly recommend this tour.
