This was an awesome experience! We really enjoyed seeing the dolphins fairly close up. Kayaking in this area was not difficult. The guys who were are guides were very helpful.

First off, I want to say that our guides were very good. The lead guide was talkative, kind and friendly. Our other guide was newer and quiet but still very kind and helpful. I went and was so excited. I am by no means a kayaking expert but do well. Our trip started late which wasn't a big deal but I felt like we ended up losing out on time during our trip. Like I said I'm no expert but I can get the kayak going. Included in our large group, we had 2 teenage kids on our trip and their parent. The parent was in their own kayak and the 2 teenagers were in the other. They had a lot of difficulty with their kayak and I truly felt that held us back. We would kayak and then have to wait for the rest of the group to catch up. This meant we did not make it nearly as far as we were supposed to. We did not see a single dolphin. Not ONE. I know we can't predict nature but I truly felt like had the teenagers had to go with an adult , we would have been a little bit quicker and we would have made it to the "dolphin hub". I was so disappointed that I paid so much money. Parking+ $120 for us to go + the tip (which the guides were kind and deserved). Overall I think there was great potential and I'm a bit jealous that other reviewers say they saw so so many dolphins and we didn't see one. The kayaking was enjoyable but the point was to make it to the dolphin hub and see them....unfortunately I feel like it was wasted money and would have rathered rented kayaks by myself and go out without a group.

It was an absolutely amazing experience for a great price! We saw lots of dolphins in small pods and even managed to see one jump out of the water right before we started heading back to shore! I would recommend this kayak tour to anyone who’s visiting Virginia Beach. The tour guides were very informative and helped us get in and out of the kayaks. Definitely an experience you won’t forget! I would 100% recommend this in a heartbeat.
