Would 100% recommend - The view of the area was great, the captain was wonderful and funny, and the “skipper” was a hoot was able to see a lot of wildlife, and dolphins, we come from Wisconsin so don’t get these experiences

Excellent Dolphin Cruise - This was a wonderful cruise of the Intracoastal Waterway. There were several sightings of dolphins, and the crew enhanced the experience by ensuring everyone saw the dolphins. The crew was professional, friendly, and helpful. Overall this was a great way to spend a few hours!

Fun and funny; excellent for my family - When our family travels out of state, we enjoy experiences unique to the areas we visit. Indiana does not have wild dolphins, so we were excited for an opportunity to see them in Alabama! :) Marc and Jennifer were excellent crew. They took care of and conversed with all the guests on the boat. We had our five young children on board, and they were great about getting them to parts of the boat for the best dolphin viewing. Captain Lynn was also fantastic! He is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna locally, and he was a great teacher about our surroundings. He also made the trip interactive, asking questions that my 8-year-old son jumped at the chance to answer. Captain Lynn also got several passengers, adults and kids alike, to sit and pilot the boat for a little while. When my 5-year-old walked over and told him her birthday would be Saturday, he led the boat in singing happy birthday to her. She glowed! I have seen other reviews complain about music on these tours. That was not a concern with this tour. The music was played at a reasonable volume, it was appropriate if not mildly humorous since the dolphins were courting :). Our family appreciated Captain Lynn enlisting Marvin Gaye to get the dolphins “in the mood.” Lol Lastly, of course we saw dolphins, and I appreciated how Captain Lynn worked together with another boat’s captain from another company to provide the best dolphin watching experience for everyone. Overall, this was a great experience that my kids loved and will remember. Thank you!

Great company to Dolphin Cruise with! - We went on the cruise with our 12 yr and 4 yr old daughters. We were able to see several pods of dolphins, a couple egrets, blue herons, pelicans and an osprey. The captain and staff were wonderful!
