Amazing guide Alec - Our tour guide, Alec, did a great job telling us about the history, wildlife, and tour in general. He took multiple breaks for everyone to catch up and was a very friendly and patient guy, even though there were some difficult people who arrived late and complained. Overall it was a great experience and we highly recommend our tour guide to anyone who goes.

Small group dolphin fun - We enjoyed our kayak trip to see the dolphins.. Our leaders Declan, Jack, and Parker were knowledgeable and friendly. There are bathrooms on site. The leaders took pictures for us (free!) and provided a dry bag for our valuables.

Good activity for the whole family - It is very hard when you are traveling with teenagers. This is a great activity to do with them to get them out of the technology and have some family bonding time along with some exercise, the pricing was good and the guides were very professional and helpful. Just that when they were talking, it was hard to hear in the middle of the bay. Overall, I highly recommend to anyone who goes to Virginia Beach.
