Travel between sites with ease via air-conditioned vehicle, and benefit from the small-group size for a more intimate experience.

Sail Away on Our Alabama Sunset Cruise End another perfect day in Orange Beach, AL with a sunset cruise! Our two-hulled sailboat offers a smooth, stable ride as we sail off into a gorgeous golden sunset. This two-hour sail is aboard the Cetacean, a 52-foot Hawaiian catamaran, and we skim along the waters of Orange Beach, Alabama and Perdido Key, Florida. Besides watching the stunning sunset, keep a lookout for marine life and coastal wildlife. We often see bald eagles, seagulls, herons, and osprey flying near the boat, schools of fish swimming underneath the boat, and a sighting of some of the dolphins in our resident pod.
