What an awesome experience! Our family did the dolphin kayak tour. Matt was extremely knowledgeable and was an excellent tour guide. He took lots of photos and video - which was great because I didn’t get many. We saw a lot of dolphins on our excursion. My 7 y/o absolutely love it. Would definitely recommend!!

We booked the sunset dolphin kayak tour with Matt, and it was even more spectacular than we had hoped. The entire experience was seamless, and the result was a magical evening we will never forget. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the gear was all excellent, Matt was friendly and enthusiastic from the moment we arrived. As we paddled out into the water our guides shared fascinating facts about the local marine life and ecosystem. It wasn't long before we spotted the first dolphin fins breaking the surface. Before we knew it, an entire pod of dolphins—including a baby!—was swimming and playing just feet away from our kayaks. The final hour of the tour was absolutely breathtaking. My partner and i are not experienced paddlers, but Matt made everyone feel comfortable and safe. The kayaks were very stable, he was constantly checking in to make sure everyone was having a good time. We cannot recommend Matt enough. If you are looking for an unforgettable adventure in Virginia Beach, this is the one to book. We will definitely be back!

This was the best kayak tour ever! Perfect weather. Sunny, no clouds in the sky & or 80s with no humidity. Our tour guides were Brandon & Rhett who were professional, fun, knowledgeable & patient. They gave all the proper info before we began & almost immediately we saw a dolphin then several pods. Beautiful! We were very fortunate to see so many dolphins as it’s not guaranteed so the fact that we saw so many was amazing! It was a wonderful way to spend the day, learn some history and spend some time in nature. Thanks guys 🤩

Came in from Florida for a concert. Made a last minute decision to take this sunset tour. I was nervous at first just due to my age (61) and being out of shape but the guides quickly put me at ease. They were very friendly and answered any questions. We had a lot of small talk waiting for others to show. Some bad weather days had the eve windy and a little choppy. The guides assured us we would all be safe and gave us a quick tutorial. They assisted us getting into kayaks and made sure we felt ok. We paddled out in some strong currents (whew) but rested for a few once we got to certain areas where they would give you some naval history , info of the seagulls/birds, history of Indians that used to be in that area as well as fisherman use of traps there. Very knowledgeable. They were kind enough to take pics out there as well as videos of the dolphins. Only a few dolphins had finally showed up and they didn’t want to give a big show but that can’t be helped. Overall we still enjoyed seeing the few we did as well as the sunset view and getting all of the history. Shout out to our amazing guides Paul, Caden and Rhett.
