Dolphin Tour - 9 AM
ADVENTURE TRIP DESCRIPTION: The Dolphin trips are very exciting and lots of fun. Please understand this is not a flat or calm water trip. It is very important that everyone going on this trip read this description.
The Dolphin tours begin with a surf launch into the Atlantic Ocean. This trip takes place on the high seas. As we launch and return through the surf, we guarantee that you will get soaking wet and most likely flip over at some point. We use sit-on-top kayaks, doubles and singles. You will fall out as they turn over. Everyone should be comfortable playing in the ocean surf. Kayaks are launched and returned individually by a guide standing in the water. We will launch into surf as tall as 3 or 4 feet and winds of 10 to 15 knots, trips will be canceled if conditions exceed these measurements. Wearing a life jacket is required on all of our trips. The difficulty of this trip can vary greatly. Some days the ocean can be like a lake and other days we can have large surf, strong winds or currents. Some days we may have to paddle just to keep from being carried down the beach! Once through the surf we are on the High Seas with a rolling Ocean. If you have a tendency toward motion or seasickness, this trip will probably trigger it. Please visualize being a small boat on a rolling sea. Everyone should be told of the tendency toward seasickness. We kayak off the coast, but do not go too far. The Dolphins tend to congregate in one particular area, which is where we launch. Children as young as 6 or 7 can go on this trip if they are comfortable playing in the surf. Young kids or nervous adults are best in a double with a more experienced/capable person.

Dismal Swamp - Lake Drummond - 9 a.m.
Dismal Swamp � Lake Drummond � Feeder Ditch (Chesapeake)
Situated in the middle of The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, is two and one-half miles across and 3.5 miles from the nearest paved road. One of only two natural lakes in Virginia, it is over 20 feet above sea level, unique for a US eastern coastal swamp. A jungle atmosphere is pervasive; you do not want to go off the trail here. The Refuge, larger than the city of Norfolk, has a population of some 300 black bears, along with grey and red fox, mink, bobcat, and deer. We are more likely to see their tracks on the road than the actual critters. The Swamp is rich in history and lore from Colonial days as well as a haven for a large variety of birds and flowering plants.

First Landing State Park
Paddle the secluded beaches along Broad Bay interspersed with salt marsh and backed by the maritime forest of First Landing State Park. See the remnants of an ancient Oceanfront Dune still standing 40 feet tall and the highest concentration of Osprey in the area. We launch from a beautiful beach shaded by Maritime Forest deep in the Park. We often see Egrets, Heron�s, Red Winged Black Birds and occasionally a Bald Eagle. If the tides are right we can paddle into White Lake where we see 4 to 6 Osprey nests and a Great Blue Heron Rookery.
