GoKayak! Paddle with a Porpoise!

We launch our kayak dolphin tours in Virginia Beach into the beautiful Lynnhaven Bay via Crab Creek. We paddle in mostly calm water with sometimes just a little slight turbulence. There are no waves in this area. Once we launch we are immersed into the natural surroundings of the tidal salt marsh, the maritime forest and the Chesapeake Bay. We can see dolphins at any moment. Dolphins are wild and free but we see them very frequently. We always try to optimize our chances of seeing dolphins by adjusting the routes we take based on conditions. We have seen dolphins, bald eagles, osprey, whales, sea turtles, sting rays, pelicans, foxes, herons, egrets and much more! We share detailed history of the Native Americans that once paddled these same waters, the history of the English settlers and fun facts of the uniqueness of this ecosystem. This is also one of the best places in Virginia Beach to see a sunset!
