Cruise Orange Beach
Cruise OB is a great way to see wild native Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins and other local wildlife along the Alabama Gulf Coast.
I have to admit that Cruise OB does an epic job of showcasing our local dolphins! I have never seen as many jumping dolphins as we had on our last dolphin tour.
I also have to admit that it was so amazing I am pretty sure I squealed in delight more times than I want to admit.

Cruise OB tours the beautiful back bays of Gulf Shores or the Gulf of Mexico depending on the weather and wave action in the Gulf.
Locals and visitors will love this fun Orange Beach Dolphin Cruise. We had such a great experience during our 1st dolphin cruise we were already planning a return visit before we hopped off the fun boat.
The Cruise OB Boat offers multiple levels of viewing opportunities which is great for seeing the most marine wildlife possible.
The indoor area is cooler and offers shade making it a great area to relax in comfort on hot summer days. The comfortable seating is close to windows to look out.
The outdoor areas of the vessel provide views of the boat wake, front of the boat, and an upper level.
If you are someone who experiences sea sickness or gets nauseous at the smell of fuel we would suggest hanging out on the front of the boat or 2nd level.
We really like the early morning dolphin cruise experience. The weather is cooler and I like to tell myself the dolphins have been waiting overnight to play and are super excited to jump in the wake.
One of the fun things about the afternoon dolphin tours is you may find yourself in a water fight with another boat. The epic water battles are a ton of fun especially on a hot summer afternoon.

There is a steep staircase up to the upper level. I would not suggest going to the 2nd level if you have any mobility restrictions and are not a fan of stairs. It is definitely a staircase i held onto while going up and down to make sure I was stable.
