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.

The Duke is a large boat and kids do not have to wear life jackets. The boat has plenty of adult and kid life jackets. There is plenty of seating area and the seating area is covered. There is a bathroom on the boat. The staff is very nice. All of the kids got a chance to drive the boat. Unfortunately, we didn't not see any dolphins on this trip. This was not the case on past visits. What sets this boat apart is they drag nets and bring marine life onto the boat. The kids get to learn about the fish, crabs, shrimp and what ever else is grout up. The staff removes anything that can harm them and then the kids get to throw the fish back into the water. Birds and other marine life may or may not eat what is thrown back. I will continue to do dolphin tours with The Duke. Next time I'll probably do a fishing trip.

What is the point of a tour when the seats face inward? Why is there no padding? It would be more comfortable to drive a Mexican school bus along the causeway. Not great for 90 minutes and I can only imagine how trying it is for three hours. No way I could go back unless they change the seats. Absolutely must have some semblance of padding and backrests, and face forward or outward.

He's a huge history buff and they were doing the Civil War cruise today. We boarded the large pontoon at Blakeley State Park and set off down the Tensaw River, then doubled back down the Apalachee and Blakeley Rivers, for an hour and a half trip led by Captain Steve, and two very knowledgeable Blakeley Park Rangers, Mike and Brian. Along the way, we learned about the forts that were built to protect Mobile as we passed the sights of major battles of Fort Blakeley and saw where Forts Tracy and Huger once stood. We could see the remnants of the walls of Fort Huger, which was built on a mound in the marshes near where the Blakeley River flows into Mobile Bay. The sight of Spanish Fort was not preserved and now has a subdivision built where it once stood. On the two screens on the boat, they displayed a power point presentation featuring the Union Generals and their troops, the maps of the battles, and the underwater torpedos. We also learned about the extensive research on these lesser known, nonetheless, important battles of the Civil War, as they led to the fall of Mobile on April 12, 1865. While aboard, we watched and eagle chase an osprey, a flock of pelicans, and another lone pelican that decided to give us an up close and personal look at him, as if he were a plant by the Explorer crew to remind us that they also host a birding cruise. In addition to the Civil War cruise and birding cruise, they host a sunset cruise, port of Mobile cruise, an adventure cruise, a luncheon cruise, and a Bottle Creek Mound cruise. The pontoon is equipped with a restroom, more than enough life jackets for everyone on board, and the boat and Captain meet the Coast Guard requirements. We were in good hands. We only paid $27 per person and it was well worth it. The cruise was so fun and relaxing, we're already taking about taking the port cruise, sunset cruise and the Bottle Creek Mound cruise. The cruises are set up through Blakeley State Park, and they post information about them on their Facebook page and website if you're interested in going on a boating adventure.
