This tour leaves from First Landing State Park Beach around 5:30pm. The guides give you an overview of the basics before you launch. The kayaks are tandem so It's best to go with an even number of people if you don't want to get split up. All the equipment looked well taken care of and the main guide has a dry bag to keep cell phones and keys during the tour. The guides are all very well educated on the Dolphins, Fish, Birds and area. The guides are. very friendly too! We saw two groups of dolphins emerge. They were pretty far away from us but we did see their fins break the surface. The water can get choppy. If you get motion sick I'd suggest taking medicine for it before you go.

We were able to see plenty of dolphins. The tour guides were great and very knowledgeable. We did not get to see the lighthouse and the storm blowing in on the return trip made paddling a little challenging, but we enjoyed ourselves and loved the experience. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. There are many variables that come into play when dealing with the ocean. We are sorry for the storm and early return back. The safely of our kayakers is our first priority. Glad you enjoyed the experience and thank you for the review!

The guides are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable! Even though we only saw a handful of dolphins from a distance it was still a great experience.
