Our whole family had a wonderful morning on the dolphin cruise. Great staff members, fun and family friendly environment. We would return and will be telling any friends coming to visit Orange Beach or Gulf Shores to put this at the top of their list. read more

The most amazingly fun and family friendly experience. You will NOT regret it. We saw several dolphins and some even surfed our boat waves. My kids had a blast with water wars and the sea creatures they got to see and hold. The men working the boat were the best; kind, knowledgeable, fun and engaging. Book your cruise! read more

The Fun Boats Dolphin Cruise was a highlight of our spring break trip! Check in was a breeze. We saw lots of dolphins from afar and up close. A couple dolphins decided to cruise alongside us for quite a bit of time. The marine sea creatures were so much fun. Loved being able to touch and learn about these beautiful creatures. There were not enough passengers to fill two boats, so we didn't do a water fight. Instead, the kids got to shoot the water off of the boat and still had a blast. This dolphin cruise was so much fun. Staff were so friendly and kind. Two hours was the perfect amount of time as well. Be sure to tip staff. We used the QR code to tip via Venmo. This cruise was specifically great because it was alcohol free. Our family enjoyed that a lot. read more

These guys really know what they're doing! We booked the two hour dolphin cruise on a whim and were glad we did. They found multiple pods of dolphins, one even had a baby in it. They were respectful of the dolphins and made sure their customers got a good view. They do have plenty of seating options, as well as some inside an air conditioned cabin. The dolphins were playing in the waves right by our boat for several minutes. read more

This was a highlight of our vacation. Our 8 year old grandson loved it! We saw lots and lots of dolphins and the other kid activities were great too. They learned about some sea creatures - hermit crab, female blue crab and sea urchin and got to hold them. And then to finish off the trip there were water pump play guns that were a huge hit! Captain Rusty and his helpers Jackson and Chris were wonderful with the kids. The adults had a great time too. Weather was beautiful and the music playlist was fun - lots of oldies, beach vibes etc. Also, the boat was not over crowded. You could move around easily to the front and back of boat and even the top deck! I liked that this was an alcohol free excursion. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

This was by far the best dolphin cruise we've ever experienced! Our teenage kids had an amazing time, and so did we. Chris and Jay were fantastic, both incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the trip. We got an incredible view of the dolphins, and the kids especially loved spraying water at the seagulls. Thank you for such a fun, memorable experience--we'll definitely be talking about it for a long time! read more

We had a great time last week on the Fun Boat. Jackson and Roan were great deckhands who really helped explain what we were seeing the entire cruise. Jackson particularly took time to talk with each group about where they were from and was especially great with the kids teaching about the sea life that can be found in the area. read more

This was a fun trip for my son. We saw lots of dolphins and the kids got to see some sea creatures while on board. In addition, the kids got to have a water fight. All the staff were nice. The indoor cabin wasn't super cool but it did have fans. There was some talk of God, nothing excessive, in terms of this being a family-oriented business. Overall, I would recommend. read more

We set sail on the sunset cruise with our party of 8. Two kids and six adults. Boat was spacious enough for all passengers with plenty of places to sit on deck and above. Captain and crew were kind, informative and friendly. We did see dolphins but my favorite part was when the deckhands got out the sea life animals and taught us about them. They also said we could hold them if we wanted to. My daughter held a crab and a shrimp. There was a water gun fight at the end for the kids. So I'd suggest allowing the kids to wear a swimsuit or packing a change of clothes. Also, the deckhands work for tips so make sure to bring cash for that. They had ice cream, soda and water available to purchase on the cruise as well. read more

This was my first Dolphin Cruise and I have wonderful memories. We were able to go into the Gulf and saw so many dolphins. We saw pods with 20 to 30 members. Just amazing. The cost was reasonable and well worth it. I encourage you to take this cruise should the opportunity present. read more

This was a great experience! The love the captain and crew have for their work is so evident and just enhanced the experience!

The boat was spotless and the crew was amazing. We saw multiple dolphins. I definitely recommend this business.

Very fun captain and staff. Lots of interactive kids activities on the way back from seeing the dolphins. Clean boat! Highly recommend!

Fantastic trip! Lots of dolphins with stories to go along with some of the, plus a month old baby. Although we don't have small children I'm glad I chose this dolphin tour. Very knowledgeable staff I can't recall the lady's name but she made it the best experience. They had a live well with all kinds of sea life that she got out told the kids all about them and let the kids hold or touch them and kids all had a water gun fight and a chance to shoot the bouy's on the way back to dock. They had lots of space to avoid the water gun fight if that's not your thing. We sat on the top and had a Birds Eye view for all of it. read more

Eight of us went and it was a blast! We've gone on other dolphin tours and this one truly was the most fun we've had. Their crew is top notch, engaging and educational. They worked hard to connect with everyone on the ship. The price point was perfect and included a ship that had two levels, restrooms and snacks! The experience to check out other live wildlife on the boat was a nice surprise that the little a really enjoyed. We will bring other family visiting on this tour again! Great job, thank you for a wonderful trip! We saw so many dolphins and learned quite a bit about them as well. read more

We had such a good time. The captain and deckhands make sure you have a blast. Very knowledgeable about the marine life and share there passion of there job. The water fight with the other boat was fun to watch. (I wanted to stay dry for dinner). My kids on the other hand got soaked and loved every minute of it. If you don't want to participate in the water fight you can go up top or to the front of the boat. Overall we had a great experience and recommend for other to enjoy this experience. read more

My family and I truly enjoyed our dolphin cruise during our fall break in October 2024. Getting to the parking lot was a little tricky, as it felt like we were going the wrong way on this little side road by the hotel/resort. Once we checked in, we were taken to the ship as soon as everyone checked in. My son (7) was offered a life vest, which seemed to be in a good condition. Adults did not wear one; however, the ocean was pretty calm that day and we felt pretty safe. Captain was quite knowledgeable and engaging. He and his crew were all great with kids. Kids learned a great deal about sea creatures and how to handle them. We of course saw some dolphins, which was so awesome! As it was mid October, it was cold. We all brought our jackets, which was a good idea. Even if you don't have a jacket, you can certainly stay warm inside the cabin and still enjoy the cruise just as much. Overall, it was well worth the trip and price. read more

Highly recommend the fun boats dolphin cruise. You will see lots of dolphins and have so much fun. They really cater to family and this is a very important thing nowadays we were highly satisfied. read more

I read the reviews to pick a cruise and this one lived up to its great reviews! We were on the red boat and they really make you feel at home. They take the time to talk to each kid, get to know their names and ask them questions. They have snacks and drinks on board, you can bring cash or Venmo them. It was a nice ride out and then we saw a group of dolphins hanging out. We had so much fun getting them to jump out of the water and swim with the boat. There is an inside area when it gets really hot out. You will get cooled down during the water fight with the other boat though! So much fun, the kids loved it and everything about the cruise was great. read more

The water fight was fun also!! Highly recommend and would do this again next time we are in town. read more
