  • Amazing experience for ALL ages and experience levels!

    This tour is fun for ALL ages and kayaking experience levels. Solo, friends, family, whatever! I originally booked for the 5pm tour, but the day prior got asked if I wanted to move to the 9:30 am tour due to potential windy conditions in the evening. I was able to do so because of my schedule, but the flexibility and communication was outstanding! Matt (owner) was extremely personable and welcoming. We did a quick pre-tour "class" on kayaking for those that may have never kayaked before. Matt was very good at staying on top of everyone location, but also keeping out for dolphin pods. We saw many pelican and other wildlife while kayaking out to where the dolphin pods tend to swim. We learned the dolphins process and how they live in the bay and ocean. Once we saw one pod, we started to see the dolphins in many numbers over the next 2 hours. It was an amazing experience to see the dolphins up close in their natural habitat. We were on a roll with dolphin spotting, that we ended up running 30-45 minutes over the 2 hours and had "bonus" dolphin time and kayak time. HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that loves dolphins or kayaking and I plan on doing it again for hopefully the sunset tour.

  • Fun experience (even if you don't see dolphins)

    This kayak tour was such a great experience! We did not see any dolphins because the guides felt the area where the dolphins usually are was unsafe that day due to the winds/currents, so we kayaked through some rivers instead. However, we still had an awesome time and felt as though the cost was worth it. We saw some bald eagles too! Our guide Jay was very knowledgeable about the area, including the plant and animal life, which he told us all about. On top of that, he was friendly and made sure we had a fun and safe kayaking experience. I would love to book again in the hopes of seeing dolphins next time!

    Excellent experience. Matt our tour guide communicated before the event with clear instructions as well as provided a wealth of information during the tour. We saw dolphins right away!!! Even if we didn’t see dolphins the experience of kayaking on the open waters of the Chesapeake Bay was enough. The dolphins were awesome for sure!

  • Don’t miss this bucket list opportunity!

    We saw at least 20 dolphins very close to us. So close we could hear them breathing and smell their breath in the air. It was incredible- I would have paid double!

    Matt was very organized and friendly and very excited to be doing this work. Even after all of these years! We felt safe in his care, it was everything that you would want in a kayak experience
