Dolphin Watching

The evenings are great time to watch dolphins as they make their way through winding creeks

“Keep your eyes out for wading birds and pods of dolphins!”
-Coastal Expeditions guide Jess Wiggins

Activity Level

This tour is timed with the tides for an enjoyable sunset paddle. We’ll provide all of the gear and teach you what you need to know to have a safe and fun time on the water! No prior experience needed.

What To Pack & Wear

Dress for the weather!  We recommend synthetic clothing that dries quickly and shoes that stay on you feet (old tennis shoes or water shoes). 

Bring a filled water bottle.

Cancellation & Weather Policy

This tour is non-refundable within 1-week of your scheduled date.

Because this is a kayak tour, we keep a close eye on the weather—especially for things like lightning, thunder, or high winds. If our team decides it’s not safe to go out, we’ll contact you (usually at least two hours in advance) to reschedule or offer a full credit or refund. Your safety—and your experience—are our top priorities.

Guide Safety & Training

Our guides aren’t just great naturalists—they’re also trained to keep you safe. All hold certifications in first aid, CPR, and lifeguarding, and they regularly participate in hands-on training to stay sharp. Our lead guides are certified sea kayakers through the American Canoe Association (Level 1 or higher), and our captains hold 100-ton USCG Master licenses.

The boats you’ll ride in? Custom-built for these waters and inspected annually by the U.S. Coast Guard—so you can focus on the adventure, not the logistics.

Gratuity

Gratuity isn’t included in your tour price, but it’s always appreciated. Our guides work hard to make your time on the water unforgettable—and if you feel they went above and beyond, a tip of 15–25% is a great way to say thanks. Totally optional, always appreciated.
