As leaders in coastal and marine environment conservation, the Virginia Aquarium’s seasonal boat tours have immersed guests in unique aquatic experiences since 1989. Staffed by knowledgeable educators who are engaged in responsible viewing practices, research, and conservation, these boat tours bring you as close as possible to commonly observed species like humpback whales and bottle-nose dolphins, as well as a variety of seabirds, waterfowl, and other animals visiting our waters. A portion of all ticket sales supports our education, research, and conservation initiatives. Visit the Virginia Aquarium website for up-to-date schedules and prices.
