Caribe Cruiser is a great Orange Beach Dolphin Cruise on a comfortable 50 foot covered pontoon boat.
Caribe Cruiser Dolphin Tour
We love booking Orange Beach Dolphin Tours to enjoy time out on the water looking for marine wildlife and soaking in the Alabama Gulf Coast weather.
Living in Gulf Shores we have taken the opportunity to try a lot of the Orange Beach Dolphin Tours to see which ones we love the most.
I have to tell you our last cruise with Caribe Cruiser was unbelievable. We saw so many Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins right next to the boat. We even saw a week old baby dolphin multiple times.

✨What's New in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
This tiki boat tour is a great day for whole families to enjoy! The boat has fantastic bench seating that faces each other so you can sit as a family and really enjoy the tour together (photo below).
The tour is really relaxing as it travels through the Back Bays of Orange Beach. You will get to check out Ono Island and the Orange Beach Islands as the captain looks for Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins and other marine life.
Here's a look at how close the dolphins came to the boat during our last tour. There were lots of dolphins surrounding the cruiser boat. I am still in awe.
Our dolphin cruise was so good that the moment we got back home, I bought another Groupon Voucher so we could do it again.
I told my husband my new favorite activity is going to be heading out on random dolphin cruises to see how many dolphins we can see.
It is super easy to make a reservation with Caribe Cruiser so you know when to be at the dock and how long you will be out on the water.

When we returned to the docks we docked closer to Cobalt Restaurant and there are stairs at the top of the ramp.
I suggest calling to ask about their accessibility options for the day you plan to cruise just in case they have to dock near the stairs.
Plus Size Seating - They have leather bench seats that were really comfortable.
