Hands down one of the highlights of Mother's Day weekend! From start to finish, it was the perfect blend of excitement, relaxation, and unforgettable wildlife encounters. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. They gave us a fun and informative overview of the local marine life and the area as we cruised along the beautiful Virginia Beach coastline. The speed boat itself was a blast; smooth, fast, and thrilling without feeling too rough. But the real magic happened when we spotted dolphins. It was absolutely mesmerizing and something we’ll never forget. We even had a few moments where they got super close, which made for such a surreal experience. The views of the ocean, shoreline, and skyline were just breathtaking, truly a perfect way to soak in the natural beauty of Virginia Beach while learning a thing or two about its marine life. If you're looking for a fun family outing, a romantic experience, or just an exciting adventure on the water, this dolphin tour is a must. Worth every penny and then some!
Really enjoyed. We really saw dolphins, it's not only for the advertisement.... You get to watch the dolphins from very close.
The store was great and even though it was 100° out there was a decent amount of shade on the boat which was very nice. Our feet we're in the Sun for the 10:30 a.m. tour but I was just glad that my whole body wasn't in it the tour guides had a lot of great information and we saw quite a few dolphins. This was a great team building outing for us! Just to know there is parking to be paid for at the aquarium.
I have taken the dolphin watching tour several times. The boat ride is always fun, and I have never not seen a dolphin along with Sever types of birds. The crew is always friendly and professional. There is an indoor area in case you want or need to get away from the heat. If you want to see dolphins or experience a 90-minute boat ride to view the ocean and oceanfront, id recommend this tour.
We saw a group if 3 or 4 dolphins and it was just so much fun! As a resident of Virginia Beach it is enjoyable to act like a tourist and do these kinds of adventures and it was only $26 per adult! You have to arrive 30 minutes before the time you book as they leave exactly at the ticket time. Enjoy it!
