August 29, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

Dauphin Island is a town in Mobile County, Alabama, United States, on a barrier island of the same name (split by the Katrina Cut), at the Gulf of Mexico. It incorporated in 1988. The population was 1,238 at the 2010 census. The town is included in the Mobile metropolitan statistical area. The island (originally named "Massacre Island") was renamed for Louis XIV of France's great-grandson and heir, the dauphin, the future Louis XV of France. The name of the island is often mistaken as "Dolphin Island"; dauphin is "dolphin" in the French language.

We all enjoyed our family’s tour on “The Duke.” We are a big group so we had the boat to ourselves. The captain was super knowledgeable on local wildlife; he taught both the kids and adults about everything we caught, including educating us on invasive species coming into the area. On our tour, the dolphins came right up next to the boat, even Mama and Baby! We were told it was a really unusual and special experience, boy was it fun! Can’t wait to come back next year, 5 stars.
