Paddle Virginia Beach’s Chesapeake Bay at sunset with a local guide and look for wild dolphins along the coast.

About this tour

As the sun sinks over the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Beach’s coastal waters take on a golden glow, and wild dolphins may appear alongside your kayak. This 2-hour guided paddle pairs sunset scenery with the chance to spot dolphins in their natural habitat.

Meet your local guide at the main entrance of the First Landing State Park campground, then launch in a sturdy sit-on-top kayak and follow the shoreline. Little or no kayaking experience is needed; your guide helps you launch and navigate as you explore the bay. The small-group outing offers an easygoing way to take in the coast from the water, with the sunset unfolding around you.

Choose a Virginia Beach dolphin kayak tour at sunset for a memorable evening outdoors. Dress for the weather, and keep your eyes on the water as you paddle along the shore.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.82 from 514 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Virginia Beach
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2. Top 39% in Virginia Beach means it ranks in the top 39% of tours in Virginia Beach by this score.
