Orange Beach Private Family Dolphin Safaris is a small, family-run crew of local captains who treat every outing as a celebration. From playful dolphin searches in calm back-bay waters to tubing thrills, sunset cruises, and front-...
This operation consistently delivers memorable dolphin encounters with guides who genuinely know how to find the wildlife. Captain Steve and Skylar get repeated praise for their friendly, patient approach, while Gabe, Nate, and Trey also earn mentions for making guests feel comfortable and ensuring dolphin sightings happen. Families love that these tours feel personal and unhurried, with guides sharing interesting facts about the area and adapting to different skill levels on the jet skis. The experience appeals to all ages, from toddlers enjoying tubing to teenagers getting up close with dolphin pods. Multiple groups specifically mention this as a vacation highlight, with several vowing to return. Equipment is well-maintained and the boats are clean and comfortable. One guest felt their guide was less engaged and didn't provide expected photos, but this appears to be an outlier in an otherwise glowing collection of feedback. The three-hour tours seem to hit the sweet spot for duration, giving plenty of time on the water without feeling rushed.
Captain Steve was fantastic! He made sure we saw dolphins and was pleasant to chat with. He also shared interesting dolphin facts from his daughter. 😍 We enjoyed going fast as well! Thanks again! Enjoyed being on the water and the dolphins too much to take many photos!
