Our most frequently asked question over the years has been: When is the best time to see dolphins? The answer is:  In the morning! Dolphins are seen much more frequently in the morning because of their commuting patterns and the calmer conditions.  Especially in the summer months the evenings are generally much more windy, there are greater chances of thunderstorms, it can be very hot and usually more boat traffic on the water.  All of these things make it more challenging to navigate, enjoy and spot dolphins.  The mornings offer a more calm atmosphere when dolphins tend to be commuting and feeding more frequently.

We launch our kayak dolphin tours 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. Atlantic bottlenose 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 bottlenose dolphins, bald eagles, osprey, whales, sea turtles, sting rays, pelicans, foxes, herons, egrets and much more!   We share detailed history of the Chesapean Native Americans that once paddled these same waters, the history of the English settlers and fun facts of the uniqueness of this ecosystem. 

Virginia Beach Dolphin Tours

Dolphin Sightseeing is one of the greatest joys you may experience on vacation in Virginia Beach.  We've been a kayak dolphin cruise company for nearly a decade!  Come take a dolphin watching cruise with GoKayak to have an experience that brings you closer to nature than you can get on a boat tour.  Each two hour adventure is with an expert local tour guide that can give you all of the details about dolphins, the local ecosystem and the history of the Virginia Beach coastline. Dolphin sightings happen daily on our kayak tours.  The best way to experience dolphins is to get in a kayak and immerse yourself into their habitat.  Boat tours in Virginia Beach are great and did you know a kayak is a boat too?!  Except on this boat tour we use our arms to make the boat go and that's part of the fun!  So if you're looking for  dolphin tours & cruises in Virginia Beach then hop on a guided kayak dolphin tour with GoKayak for a memorable family adventure. Canoes and kayaks are similar but kayaks are much more stable and easy to use.  Dolphin cruises with GoKayak get you on the water with local guides that can give you a unique perspective on your Virginia Beach vacation.  A morning dolphin kayak tour is the best time to see dolphins in Va Beach.   Come take morning paddle with us.  Dolphin trips in Va Beach with GoKayak are sure to bring joy and adventure!

Kayak Dolphin Tour in Va Beach

Here at GoKayak we specialize in kayak dolphin tours.  We have a passion for nature, outdoor activity AND sharing it with other people to create memorable experiences that stay with you forever.  On our dolphin kayak tour we will bring you into the natural habitat of wild Atlantic bottlenose dolphins as we immerse ourselves into the tidal salt marsh ecosystem in kayaks.  As seasoned tour guides we are always utilizing our experience to increase your chances of epic dolphin sightings and experience nature in Virginia Beach in the best way possible.  We have been watching dolphins and kayaking with dolphins since we were kids and started out bringing our friends and family along to share the incredible wildlife and dolphin experiences we were having.  Since we began doing dolphin tours nearly a decade ago we realized that seeing the joy and awe on our our guests faces watching dolphins from their kayak is way better than watching dolphins from our kayaks alone.  Sharing this amazing and beautiful experience is the next level for us which is why we are excited to see you this season for more incredible dolphin tour memories in Virginia Beach!
