Sea View Tours - Orange Beach, Alabama

We had so much fun on our night kayak trip and crab hunt. Our guide, Landon was great! We saw more crabs than we could ever count, and he was very excited and passionate about his job. He made sure everyone in our group had the best time!

I found this company/activity by accident, and it ended up being our family's favorite activity during our trip to Orange Beach. We did the 8:30-9:30 kayak/crab grab tour with our 8-year-old and 10-year-old. It was a somewhat short kayak trip, which was just right for our younger kids' first time kayaking with us (There are two people to a kayak). On the sandbar/island, we saw so many different crabs and even a jellyfish. Our guide was great at helping us find some of the more elusive blue crabs. While it is a "tour" there's still quite a bit of an independent component to it, which we loved. Highly recommend.

What a great locally owned business with kind teammates who go the extra mile to show their guests a great time. We got lost and arrived 9 minutes after our tour time, so naturally and understandably, it was canceled, as we were the only ones signed up. We waited for the fully-booked next tour to see if we could replace any no-shows, but all the seats did get filled. With our trip drawing to a close mid-week, sweet Waylon agreed to provide a do-over for us, and he was a delight to spend time with. He taught us about the marine life and birds on the island, and was just a great guide. Strongly recommend their hour-long kayak tours.

Was in the area visiting and wanted some fun things to do. I love kayaking, but I was especially attracted to their clear, lit up kayaks and the sunset tours they do. While I ended up doing the 9:30pm crab and grab tour, it was still a great experience. I was with my group of 3 and then 4 other people. Our guides, Collin and Alex, talked us through everything and explained instructions clearly. I only felt a little nervous because it was dark and I had never kayaked at night before, but once I got out in the water I felt a lot better. It was a pretty short kayak to the island, but it was a lot of fun going around the island finding and catching crabs. My group all agreed it was a great experience and we greatly enjoyed our time. Our guides definitely enhanced the experience as well.

It was a memorable and unique experience, but was disappointed by the minimal kayaking. You only kayak about a quarter of mile. From starting point you kayak a short distance to a sand beach, walk around and observe crabs then kayak back.

Definitely a great experience for first time kayakers, maybe a little boring for more experienced kayakers.

Our family of five had an amazing time during our Crab & Grab Kayak tour. Alex & Colin made it so much fun and helped us find tons of crabs. We will definitely be back!

I booked this experience for my fiance and I and was really looking forward to it. First, I did not know when booking that you were booking per kayak, not per person, so I payed more than I needed to because we only needed one kayak. Our guide said he would check in one and would reach out to his boss to see if we could get a refund for the other.

My fiance has kayaked before, I have not, but we were both very nervous. Our “instructions” were just a quick overview of which way to paddle to go which direction and we headed off. We very quickly after being sent into the water got pulled back by the current and got stuck between the boats docked in the marina. Our guide rowed past with the rest of our group and off they went to the island while we were stuck in the marina.

We were holding onto the dock for dear life while other boaters looked on at us and it took at least 10 minutes since the group had left before I got a call from our guide asking where we were. He finally came back to us to help us out after I had already climbed out of the kayak onto the dock and merely said “sorry you couldn’t make it out” before leaving us to get back to the group on the island.

I have never been more humiliated in my life and I’m very disappointed that this is how our vacation ended.

Great place and great staff. The kayaks are clear so you can see the jellyfish and other sea life through the bottom. They provided everything you need and are knowledgeable about the area. I would totally do this again.
