Overview

Passengers board The Explorer, a 40-foot pontoon boat, to begin a two-hour wildlife and dolphin cruise around Orange Beach, Alabama. The shallow draft of the boat, just 16 to 18 inches, allows it to navigate close to shore and into creeks where larger boats cannot go. The captain and tour guide point out local birds and plants throughout the trip, including osprey nests, herons, bald eagles, and red-tailed hawks. Dolphin sightings are guaranteed during the cruise, with a free trip offered if none appear. The cruise concludes while guests enjoy the Orange Beach sunset and can have one of the available signature cocktails. All fees and taxes are included, but alcoholic drinks are not provided.
