We had a great time on this tour! We didn’t see any dolphins on the way out, and for most of the way back it looked like we might not see any at all. Our guide, Zach, was determined to find some for us and genuinely seemed just as disappointed as we were that we hadn’t spotted any. Luckily, toward the very end of the tour, we finally found some dolphins! Zach even kept us out a little later than scheduled so we could spend some time watching and enjoying them, which we really appreciated. Even if we hadn’t seen any dolphins, it still would have been a great tour. Zach kept things fun, told us about the local wildlife, gave us recommendations for good places to grab lunch and dinner, and kept us laughing along the way. Thanks, Zach, for a great tour, the laughs, and for going the extra mile to make sure we got to see some dolphins! We really appreciated it and would definitely recommend this tour. I dont want to leave out the other guide Finn for jumping in the water and swimming like a dolphin to attract them lol
I highly recommend this experience. The best part of our 4 day trip, Kayaking the bay with Liam And Zach! They made the experience so fun. I heard Zach is number one in the state for his impression of dolphins. Liam taught us how to call in the dolphins, and we did indeed see dolphins, it was beautiful! On our way home, as we were stuck in traffic. We decided to use the dolphin call that Liam taught us, and for sure we did see dolphins. This place is absolutely beautiful, the sunset was gorgeous...LIAM AND ZACH...SO MUCH FUN!!! Oh and educational as well.
It was an amazing experience. We did the 5:30 pm tour. Our tour guide Sam was very knowledgeable and friendly! We loved the experience. We did not see any dolphins but we had a great time and the sunset was just beautiful!
This was an amazing experience! My friends and I didn’t 5:30 tour and we had Zack and Noah as our guides. Zack was full of information and so fun. We got to see many pods of dolphins and some of them very near our kayaks. I would have done this tour multiple times if I had the time to. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough and if I’m ever back in VB it will be the first thing I book! Thanks Zack for providing a fun night for all us ladies!
This was an absolutely amazing tour!! 10/10 recommend!! Bonus if you get Zach for a guide. We did the 5:30 tour & saw a TON of dolphins towards the end!!
This was an excellent experience! We had a group of 12 between the ages of nine and 71. Will and Noah were incredible guides. I absolutely recommend! A couple suggestions: if you often get seasick, take something ahead of time, bring bottles of water, you can bring the water in the kayak with you and you will need it on a hot day. Great experience thank you Will and Noah!!
The guides were awesome! Told stories, provided facts on the dolphins and other birds. Made it interactive.
The staff was fun and professional. They gave us confidence in our safety while being out in open waters. I highly recommend even if this is your first time kayaking.
What a great time we had! The guides were amazing, and even though we headed back to shore a few minutes early (due to looming dark clouds that headed our way), we got to kayak a good distance. We did get to see a dolphin! An overall wonderful experience.
Loved this experience! Staff was super friendly and made us feel safe during the whole experience. Guides were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and history around us. Didn’t see any dolphins but still glad to have gotten out on the water.
