On our Sunset Dolphin Kayak Tour you will likely see dolphins and numerous birds as we paddle along historic Cape Henry in Virginia Beach.

They cancelled the tour due to high waves. That's not a problem, but informing us about the cancellation beforehand by phone or email would have been nice, so we didn't have to waste our time and money to get out there
