Amazing

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

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!

Brian_D - October 8th, 2024

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!

Ashley_L - October 8th, 2024

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!
