Itinerary
Dolphin sightings are guaranteed, or your next trip is FREE! 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!

Traveler reviews
So many Dolphins!!
Everything was excellent! It was rainy, so they provided ponchos. The boat was covered. But it was so nice to have to option to go out on the deck and not be wet.
Dolphin 2 hour Cruise
Highly recommend! Saw dolphins almost entire 2 hour trip. Staff were great.
Dolphins, daquiris, and great memories!
The 2 hour dolphin tour through Cretacean cruises was wonderful! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The frozen cocktails were delicious! We saw two different pods of 3 dolphins each and we got to see and learn about the birds in the area as well. Afterwards we got lunch at The Wharf and did some shopping, it was a wonderful excursion! Fun for families or couples. I would highly recommend booking through them if you are looking for a dolphin cruise near gulf shores/orange beach with delicious cocktails and knowledgeable guides. Plus they guarantee you see a dolphin or the next trip is free!
Second time on this boat ride!
Friendly crew with great knowledge of the bay and the animals within it. Made my 2 year old daughter’s day by how nice they were to her. This is my second time on this ride (other was two years ago) and we saw dolphins both times
"Lots of Dolphins"
Super fun. The captain and the crew were all great. We saw a lot of dolphins and the crew told us many facts about dolphins and pelicans. I highly recommend taking this tour.
