Sunny Lady Dolphin Cruises at The Wharf

"We visit Gulf Shores and Orange Beach often. The beaches and surrounding area are beautiful and much less crowded than Florida, not to mention most everything is generally cheaper, as well. If seeing dolphins is on your list of things to do while at the beach, Sunny Lady Dolphin Cruises should be your first choice in Orange Beach. You can check their website for cost and information, however, during our last trip in October 2025, it averaged about $27 per person. The cruise itself lasts about 90 minutes. You'll find them located at the Wharf along with lots of other great shopping, restaurants, and bars. The boat is a double decker and offers light snacks and drinks. Our crew, Kensley, JJ, and Captain Nate were absolutely wonderful and ensured everyone on board had great memories. We spotted a pod of dolphins after just a few minutes into the cruise. Captain Nate slowed the boat and made sure everyone had an opportunity to see the dolphins and take pictures. Overall, one of the best dolphin cruises we'd experienced. This was largely in part of the crew. Thank you Kensley, JJ, and Captain Nate for making our trip memorable."

"We had a blast on the Sunny Lady! Rusty, Kinsley, and Jasmine were the best crew. They kept us laughing and having fun. I thought it was super sweet Rusty remembered all the kids names and kept checking to see if they knew which side to look on. We saw dolphins almost the whole time. They played in our wake and hung out with us. And feeding the gulls was hilarious and exciting. My kids loved getting a Cheeto and then the birds immediately grabbing it. The cruise was about 1.5 hours and we were engaged the whole time. Getting to take pictures in the Captain’s chair and having the crew take family photos was a very sweet touch. All the wildlife facts were fun and I laughed so much at Rusty’s jokes."

"This was a wonderful experience for all ages! We loved seeing so many dolphins playfully following the boat and the sunset was absolutely beautiful. The entire family, from the kids to the adults, had an amazing time. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip fun and engaging. This was definitely a highlight of our vacation, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable evening on the water. Thank you to the crew for creating good memories for travelers."
