Most amazing evening

Published on Nov, 2024

This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. It was just my self and a friend who did the tour, and Matt our guide was amazing. He is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area, the dolphins and the eco system in general. He clearly has a huge wealth of knowledge on the dolphins which made the experience incredible. Matt not only was super friendly and a brilliant host but also allowed us to stay out till sunset so that we could get the best experience. I would highly recommend going with Matt, as I think this will be one of the best things you may ever do!

Amazing experience for ALL ages and experience levels!

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour is fun for ALL ages and kayaking experience levels. Solo, friends, family, whatever! I originally booked for the 5pm tour, but the day prior got asked if I wanted to move to the 9:30 am tour due to potential windy conditions in the evening. I was able to do so because of my schedule, but the flexibility and communication was outstanding! Matt (owner) was extremely personable and welcoming. We did a quick pre-tour "class" on kayaking for those that may have never kayaked before. Matt was very good at staying on top of everyone location, but also keeping out for dolphin pods. We saw many pelican and other wildlife while kayaking out to where the dolphin pods tend to swim. We learned the dolphins process and how they live in the bay and ocean. Once we saw one pod, we started to see the dolphins in many numbers over the next 2 hours. It was an amazing experience to see the dolphins up close in their natural habitat. We were on a roll with dolphin spotting, that we ended up running 30-45 minutes over the 2 hours and had "bonus" dolphin time and kayak time. HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that loves dolphins or kayaking and I plan on doing it again for hopefully the sunset tour.

Great experience for the family

Published on Oct, 2024

My family and I had an amazing time. I was on a double kayak with my son and we were having some trouble paddling. Matt, our guide, taught us how to paddle properly, and we were able to get through the two hours without much trouble. We got to see lots of dolphins and pelicans. Matt helped take photos for us. We will definitely do this again in the future.

Incredible Experience

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour is worth every penny! The staff is very warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The dolphins get quite close to the kayaks! This is a great activity to add to a trip to Virginia Beach, whether you are traveling solo, with friends, or family .

Fun experience (even if you don't see dolphins)

Published on Oct, 2024

This kayak tour was such a great experience! We did not see any dolphins because the guides felt the area where the dolphins usually are was unsafe that day due to the winds/currents, so we kayaked through some rivers instead. However, we still had an awesome time and felt as though the cost was worth it. We saw some bald eagles too! Our guide Jay was very knowledgeable about the area, including the plant and animal life, which he told us all about. On top of that, he was friendly and made sure we had a fun and safe kayaking experience. I would love to book again in the hopes of seeing dolphins next time!
