It was my 2nd kayaking trip but the best one I've had! The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. They provided excellent instruction and assisted us throughout the entire trip which made us feel very comfortable paddling along the river. This was a truly wonderful experience! More

My husband and I recently visited VA Beach and found a brochure for the Kayak Nature Tours. We were looking for something exciting to do during the week and called the phone number on the pamphlet. The staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. The cost was only $50 per person for a 2 1/2 hr kayak trip, which was... More

My husband and I travel quite a bit and usually take some type of guided tour. We kayak several times a year. This was one of the best guided tours we have taken. The staff was knowledgeable about the area, professional, friendly, and provided excellent instruction to those participants that required assistance. I would recommend this company to families, to... More

Jeff, Alex, Kristin(e) and Tom were great guides. They helped us get in and out of the surf with our kayaks. They were all polite and knowledgeable as well as personable. Randy adjusted the tour to avoid the impending hurricane Irene. Seeing the dolphins in their natural environment and watching the US Navy pull out to see was a great... More

The guides were very helpful and explained how to get in the kayaks and paddle. They also shared interesting facts about dolphins. We were able to get very close to the dolphins and the waves were very calm. I had only kayaked once before and was a little apprehensive after watching the videos on their website, but it turned out... More

My two kids (ages 15 and 20) and I went on the kayak dolphin tour. I am fair skinned and brought sunblock with me and reapplied it numerous times as we were out on the ocean. The life vest they provided had pockets so I had a place to keep the sunblock. We have kayaked before, which made it easier... More

Eight of us went on this trip to the Back Bay Refuge, there were smaller kids so we chose not to do the dolphin tour. The guides were awesome and gave all of the help needed for those of us who have never kayaked. They also were snapping pics to post on the website so you didnt have to get... More

Kayak Naure Tours was an outstanding experience for my family. With all the information obtained from our very competent guides, Jeff and Ben, my family was able to successfully launch into North VA Beach located by Fort Story. From there, we learned about the local wildlife, the history behind that part of the ocean, and how to "ride" a wave.... More

Very knowledgeable and conscientious guides. Humor a bit too goofy for us but all in good fun. Really glad we went; just wished for the dolphins! More

My spouse and I attended a Dolphin Adventure Tour off of VA Beach. I cannot say enough good things. The 3 guides were awesome; friendly, informative, knowledgable and very relaxed. This was our first time kayaking and we felt totally safe and at ease on ocean waves. We were worried about the amount of "workout" this would be, but once... More
