Sunset Dolphin Kayak Tours

Make your way to First Landing State Park where this tour begins, and start by getting fitted with an easy-to-use, sit-on-top kayak. The boats are well suited to even beginning boaters, and after a short briefing on kayak safety and technique, you'll be ready to launch your kayak into the Chesapeake Bay. Follow a route along the shoreline that’s especially good for sighting dolphins, which travel along the coast in small pods. Enjoy the cooler temperatures of the early evening, and spot some of the diverse seabirds that thrive in the Chesapeake Bay. Paddle as far as the Cape Henry Lighthouses, a pair of historic signal lights that guide vessels into the Chesapeake Bay. See the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel light up in the evening sun as you make the return trip to the beach at First Landing State Park, and pause to photograph the coast in the warm, evening light. This 2-hour kayak tour concludes at First Landing State Park.

Summary: 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

Summary: 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.
