My wife and I went for the dolphin kayaking tour when we were in Virginia Beach a couple of weeks ago. All I can say is, what an amazing experience. We had a few groups of dolphins around us giving an acrobatic show. Our guide was great and knowledgeable of the wildlife in the area. Can’t recommend them enough, and we will no doubt be booking another tour when we are in the area again.

Took a sunset dolphin tour with Matt & he did not disappoint! What a beautiful night & the dolphins swimming around us was ?!!! Matt knows alot about the area and has tons of stories & a great personality. Definitely worth every penny paid for the experience and will do it again. Thank you, Matt!!

I have been on dolphin spotting boats before but seeing dolphins from a kayak was a much more intimate experience, You can hear them breathe and be very close to them. The day we went out, we were lucky enough to see countless dolphins. You don't have to be an Olympic athlete to do this. Our guide Tom was great and this is a well-run company. Overall, an unforgettable experience.

We had our tour with Tommy who did an amazing job pointing out pods of dolphins. We had 2 kids going tandem with us and they were engaged the entire time. The tour was well-paced and everyone thought it was more enjoyable than kayaking through the marsh. Tommy also captured and shared some great family photos and dolphin videos from our tour. Best trip yet!

Such a cool experience! So happy Tommy let us know about it! Originally my friend and I had planned to rent kayaks on laskin and go out on our own until Tommy let us know about the guided sunset dolphin tour we were stoked!!! Our experience was the best only thing was I forgot my big stray lots of bugs in the evening time. However we saw pods and pods of dolphins up close it was beautiful made the bugs totally worth it! Tommy and Nate took some good picture and videos while we were out and shared them with us really cool guys! Thank you again :)

We did this tour last Tuesday and the water conditions were not ideal. It was my 12 year old and 8 year old and myself. The guides were Tommy, Jay, and Canon and we couldn’t have been happier with them. From guiding us on whether or not we should continue with the tour that day to their support and instruction on the water they were awesome every step of the way. We decided to go for it despite the not great conditions and there was a huge sense of pride in our success! And we found dolphins! They got super close to our kayaks and the guides were able to take videos and pictures and send them to us at the end! I highly recommend this tour

I had an absolutely fantastic experience on the dolphin kayak tour in VA Beach! The highlight was undoubtedly the breathtaking encounter with dolphins – a sight I'll cherish forever. Ryder and Michael, our guides, were beyond incredible. Their expertise, enthusiasm, and friendly nature made the tour even more memorable. Paddling through the serene waters while observing these majestic creatures was a true privilege. A definite five-star adventure that I highly recommend to all nature enthusiasts!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Chesapean Outdoors while in Virginia Beach! We chose to do the guided dolphin kayak tour. Our two tour guides were Michael and Ryder. They were absolutely wonderful and made the experience 10x better! They are both extremely knowledgeable about the VB area and marine life. Although dolphin sighting is not guaranteed, the guides tried their very best to make it possible. Towards the end of the trip we ended up seeing multiple pods of dolphins that swam right next to our kayaks. It was a once in a lifetime experience being able to see dolphins in their natural habitat! I highly recommend Chesapean to anyone who is not from the area!!! It will not disappoint!

Tommy, Jay, Blaze and Sam were great tour guides. They worked well as a team helping each other with the guests and pointing things out to us. They even made some jokes while we waited for the dolphins. The sunset, dolphins and nearby Navy base was such a unique experience! They even take photos of your party out on the water and make sure you get them before you leave. Great, genuine guys!

This was so much fun. The 3 tours guides were great. They were so friendly and very knowledgeable. They answered questions, provided information about the area, and told us a lot about the dolphins, birds, crabs, and turtles we were seeing. The kayak was great easy to handle.The guide explained the boats and equipment before we went out. We saw a lot of dolphins that were swimming right around our kayak very close up. It was a great time. The guide Also provided photos that they took during the trip.

Of all the places to see and do while in the Chesapeake Bay Area, you owe it to yourself to try the dolphin kayak tour. Absolutely a fun trip. I went on the 930 am tour out of first landing on the beach, and I must say, every guide was knowledgeable, professional, and safety oriented. That to me, is the most important. What sets this apart from other companies? Firstly, Matt, the owner, answered all my questions regarding what your to take, and, he has been in business for over 27 years. The historical side of the tour is fascinating, as the guides talk about the maritime history as well as the anthropological history of the area. The company does provide dry bags just in case. The icing on the cake was having a bottle nosed dolphin swim within five feet of my kayak! Superb.
