First, a disclaimer. I lived all my life along Lake Erie's wonderful, windy, fish-smelly, murky, temperamental, chilly to frozen shoreline. I am not phased by choppy waters, nor rocking vessels of different sizes. I enjoy the adventure. I don't use Dramamine. I easily accomodate to the shifting deck of a vessel on the move. I ride hydrojet boats, ferries, kayaks,... More

Our family went on the whale watching tour by the Virginia aquarium at the Virginia Beach. Our trip was on 03/2/2013 at noon. Sometimes there is rush for tickets and tickets cannot be guaranteed at the said time and date. I booked the tickets one week in advance. The temp during that time was in the mid 40s, cloudy, overcast... More

This was the 2nd year we went on the Flipper. Good time for the kids. Last year we had about 20 whale sightings, about 5 or six whales in all. This year we didn't see any, but the kids had a blast anyway, it's a little cold so bundle up well. Don't forget to tip your mates.

Rudee tours has lots of different attractions year round. We just went out on the winter wildlife cruise to see Whales and for $27 a person you just can't beat it. We saw a humpback whale and had a great afternoon on the water.

Went out on January 25, 2013 to see if we couldn't see some whales. Weather was perfect - light and variable winds, temps in the 20's with heavy snow on the trip back in. The mate said that they had reports from the fishing boats that there was a pod of whales well offshore so off we went to the... More

We went on the Winter Wildlife Tour through the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Center. The staff was very friendly. The cost was $28 a person with no discounts for seniors or students. We arrived 30 minutes early as instructed and had to wait in a long line to board. It turned out that the delay was because they were making... More

A group of 8 of us went whale watching while in town in early January, knowing that the humpbacks were seasonably in the area. The price compared to other, similar whale watching excursions we have been on was very good. Arrive 30 minutes early as it is first come first serve. The boat was nice with upper and lower seating/viewing... More

Love Love Love the Dolphin Excursion! Rudee Inlet is on the south end of Virginia Beach. The best dolphin activity was at the north end. At one point dolphins were swimming all around the boat. The tour guides were from one of the local Aquariums and there were multiple guides on board to answer your questions. The staff of the... More

This was an awesome trip and the staff was excellent! My kids had a blast and we seen lots of Dolphins! Well worth it and can not wait till we get back to do it again.
