Great customer service
The weather was too bad to go out, but they called way in advance and gave me a full refund. I'll definitely go again as soon as I'm back in Virginia Beach.

Great experience, huge thanks!
We were a group of 12, and had a great time! Cyrus, Alex and Bailey were our guides and they were amazing. We saw so many dolphins, and it was real close. The guides’ explanations were also great, and they made sure we are keeping track of everything, and that everyone enjoys. Thanks!!!

Dolphins tour
Tommy help me book the tour. He was wonderful. I am a senior citizen and was worried if I could do this with my grandsons. Tommy told me what to expect. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have done this. It was the best thing I did in VA beach. We had so much fun. We saw a spool of dolphins. They were so close. The 2 hours went by real fast. Thanks Tommy can't wait to do it again. Excellent. Thanks for being so patient with me.
