Small Group Dolphin Kayak Eco-Tour

I'm a little late getting around to review this experience, sorry! My husband and I had a blast on this dolphin kayak tour!! The tour guide was really personable and knowledgeable, and we got to paddle right next to a pod of dolphins.. it was for sure a workout, but so worth it! It was really important to me that we choose a tour that wouldn't harm the wildlife. This one was perfect!

Had a wonderful day kayaking in the bay with our family. Matt was a great guide! When we pulled up, he had everything ready for us so we could start as planned. We were fascinated as he shared some about the oyster and shore rehabilitation program that is happening near the launch site as well as by home along the bay. The eco tour was filled with interesting facts about the flora and fauna of the area. Thank you Matt!

We had Matt as our tour guide and he was just an amazing host ! Beside the weather was not the best We catch to saw a group of over 20 dolphins it was such a cool experience.

We had such a great time out on this tour. Matt was an excellent guide who showed us a wonderful time. His passion and knowledge of the area was very impressive and he shared so much with us. The paddle out was easy though the water was completely calm. Would absolutely do this trip again! Don’t miss out!

Breathtaking scenery. Tour guide Matt is gracious and attentive. Would recommend. Enjoy your 2 hour kayak ride. No experience required

Unfortunately, there was a threat of thunderstorms that delayed our start, but once we got going all was well. The waves were about a foot high which made paddling more of an exercise but still very enjoyable. We did see a couple if schools of dolphins at a distance which was beautiful.
Thank you to our guides who were very friendly and patient.

Seeing the dolphins! Our two tour guides were informative and friendly. I will likely return when my two kids are older so that they can enjoy this.

The tour guides were wonderful and we saw many dolphin pods during our tour! The bay was serene and the whole experience was informative and breathtaking.

Super fun experience, would definitely recommend! We had a younger girl (I can’t remember her name now) for our guide who was very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable!

Met the tour guide at a park on the Chesapeake Bay. Instructions to get to the park were confusing our GPS but the tour company provided excellent directions by text.

Meghan was our guide. She got everyone in life jackets quickly and gave a safety speech and talked about what we were going to see and do. She then quickly got us all in the water.

The Bay was calm, pace was slow and easy to keep up with. Over the next two hours we must have seen 10 pods of dolphins. Meghan explained everything and included some local information on places to eat.

Highly recommend this tour and this company.

Our trip was not ideal. I don’t hold it against the company (Chesapean Tours) for there being no dolphins on this tour as you can’t control Mother Nature and therefore can’t guarantee dolphins. I can, however, fault the tour operator for things within their control. The tour the morning we went was a group of 20+. One of the guides had called in sick leaving one guide for 20+ people. This is not meant to disparage the guide, Meghan, as she was absolutely wonderful and did the best she could given the circumstances. However some on our tour had never kayaked and before we even left the shore 1 kayak had already tipped. 30 min of our tour time was wasted getting this sorted. Those of us already on the water had to hold in place as the guide didn’t want us going off on our own. Once we finally got going another kayak started filling with water and there was a scramble to get him back to shore. Another wait for us while this was sorted. Had there been two guides this could have been avoided as one guide could have assisted those in need while the other could take the rest of us out on the tour. This was an epic fail on the part of the tour operator and did not make for a very enjoyable morning on the water.

Megan was such a trooper. There were some issues with a few of the kayak’s but she came out on top. The downside is we didn’t see any dolphins. However, being out on the water was a relaxing experience.

We had so much fun! We saw dolphins at the beginning, and they were so close! But then jet skis scared them away which wasn’t our guide’s fault. He kept looking, and kept telling us so many interesting things about the area and the birds we were seeing that we didn’t even mind.
We’ve already told friends about what a great time we had, since we are locals.

Got a chance to see dolphins, cow nose rays, pelicans and learned about the history of the Bay from the experienced guide. Everything about the experience was great. Was paired up with a great group which made it more fun. Highly recommend this event to connect with nature on a personal level

My gf and I went and we had an amazing time. The dolphins were out and friendly. We had no issues at all and the guid was incredibly helpful making sure we found the place the place, communicating updates, including everyone in the experience, very knowledgeable about the area and animals we saw, also took video and pics for us to document the moment. Would definitely recommend!!

We had a great time on the tour. We got to see dolphins up close and it was such a fun experience for me and my family. We would highly recommend this tour.

Our dolphin kayak excursion was awesome! Our guide, Adam, was great - he shared a lot of knowledge and interesting information about the area and its animals, he welcomed questions, and he had a fun sense of humor. Adam also managed the various kayaking comfort levels/abilities in the group and ensured everyone felt comfortable. The double kayaks were great and easily maneuvered the water, even though it was a bit rough the day of our tour. We enjoyed every minute of the kayaking experience AND we were able to see quite a few dolphins. This is definitely a tour we would do again if in the area! Thank you!
