Small group tour. Guide was experienced, confident and personable, able to lead, inform and put everyone at ease. Lots if dolp - Everyone seemed to have a great time. Great weather, beautiful sunset.
Beginner friendly. The guide was thorough, explaining how to operate and navigate the kayak. He knew where to take us to find many Dolphin sightings.

Wonderful experience! - Tommy was a wonderful guide. He explained everything, and led us with an energy and charm that was magnetic.. we saw so many dolphins and watched a beautiful sunset. Tommy helped us follow the dolphin pods so that we paddled hard but had so much fun!

This is an awesome little... - This is an awesome little kayak trip and we did indeed see dolphins! We had a tandem kayak which was perfect for me and my older mom. She didn't have to do too much work. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife and because it was a small group it felt very personal. Bonus for the gorgeous sunset! Thank you for a beautiful memory.👏

Phenomenal Experience all-around! - I attended the Sunset Dolphin Kayak Tour mid-August and had a phenomenal time. The location was scenic and peaceful, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and the equipment was sturdy and safe. The spot on the beach had serene waters and incredible views of the beautiful Virginia skyline; it was one of the best places to see dolphins, which we did! The spot was easy to find and parking was plentiful. The company had sent an informational E-Mail and text ahead of time with the pertinent address and directions from the parking lot, making arrival simple.
The guides gave us a demonstration of how to properly paddle and laid out what to expect for the evening before we stepped off, and my group's guides Rhett, Kayden (sp?), and Paul were informative, experienced, and made everybody feel like a part of the group, even some first-timers who struggled initially. Toward the end of the tour some of us non-locals asked for restaurant recommendations, and the guides were happy to oblige (the restaurant where I ate was fantastic and affordable). I had arrived half an hour early, and the guides were friendly from the time I arrived until the time I left. This was a peaceful activity to close out a full day, one of the highlights of my five-day trip; I 100% recommend this tour and would use them again if I go back to VA Beach.

Anniversary Dolphin Sunset Tour - Very knowledgeable tour guide. Safe and fun environment for all skill levels and fitness. Breathtaking sunset over the water with lots of playful dolphins near the group for most of the tour. Would 100% book again!

A must experience! - Wonderful! We got to see a few dolphins pretty close by, as well as a bunch of pelicans. The guide was very knowledgeable and we asked him a bunch of questions. The location is on the beach inside a very nice start park, so I chose to go for a quick swim after the tour.

Awesome sunset dolphin tour - We had a great time on our sunset dolphin tour. We saw so many dolphins for a solid hour straight! Tommy and Brody were great tour guides and were very knowledgeable about the area and the animals. This is our second year doing this tour and we will definitely be back next summer. 10/10 recommend this tour!

Terrible customer service - Our kayak tour was canceled by the company and we were offered a refund or the opportunity to reschedule. We were departing the next day so we couldn't reschedule. We provided all of our booking information. We reached out numerous times by text, email and phone. We were never refunded our money and never received a response back from anyone at the company. Very disappointed in their customer service. Would not recommend them.
