The jet ski tour is well worth the money. We signed up for the military base tour, but they ended up combining our tour (4 people) with a dolphin tour (2 people). I'm glad they did! We weren't actually able to get very close to any Navy ships, but the huge pod of dolphins we hung out with made up for it. There were at least twenty of them and many surfaced within feet of the jet skis. The jet skis were very comfortable for an adult and a child to ride together

Always LOVE this place. Tons of jetskis so they are always ready. Really friendly and knowledgeable staff who clearly know what they are doing. Great safety instructions. Those instructions really do come in handy if you fall off so listen close believe me. Ive been to other places and they don't give as much safety info. Based on their info i was able to help the person with me who fell off. Simply amazing place, the only place I go to jet ski when im in VA beach.

Great place whether you golf or not. Our non-golfers had as much, if not more, fun than our golfers. You are not closed off from the other golfers but it feels as though you have a private area...very easy to talk and laugh with each other. The service, drinks, and food were "top" notch. Will definitely go again!

We did the morning dolphin kayak tour in the chesapeake bay and it was such a fun experience! Brody and Steven were so knowledgeable of the dolphins and the environment we were in and they really connected with each of us kayakers! I couldn’t have asked for a better tour and we will definitely be back in the future!

Lynn and Alexis were the best tour guides! They were extremely helpful in the instructions provided before we began and throughout. Also, they constantly checked in to see how everyone was doing. They also provided suggestions on stunts. There were a total of 9 lines, each higher than the one before it. The highest was 60 ft and 100 yds long! A must do for the avid thrill seeker or conquer it as a family/friend event. Don’t forget your bug spray and sunscreen. I also carried a few water bottles for the kids (10 and 13). I was able to carry my backpack along with no problem, but they do offer to lock your belongings up in the office.

Arcades, axe throwing, bowling, bumper cars, climbing obstacle course, pool 🎱 tables, race track, there is something for everyone. Yes even for you!!! I enjoyed the glow in the dark miniature golf course.

Here are my fav brunch spots. Don't be in a hurry because the wait will be ridiculous if you are. Hang out, have a mimosa and enjoy some amazing food!
Oh my gosh. One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. We got Pancakes, French toast, Bacon and Cinnamon rolls. We even got a cinnamon roll to go because it was just that good. The waiter was very nice and the valet parking service was neat. We will definitely be back before our vacation is over.

Came here for brunch and was not disappointed. Sat at the bar to avoid the wait to be seated, which was a great idea. Had Wide variety of mimosas that all sounded great. Had so many options for breakfast and lunch, as well as some healthy options too. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a brunch place.

Great food and a good variety on the menu. The staff is very friendly. You may have to wait because they get busy but there are two waiting areas. The crab omelet had a good amount of big pieces of crab. The sausage gravy is also great. Large portions. I highly recommend if you are in OV. Don't forget you can place orders to go. Their breakfast sandwiches are great for order to go.

Family owned and operated with a great work ethic. A great breakfast nook with "The most varied" menu in the region with an "eye for detail. The staff is experienced and seasoned. They have a deep customer base ... so expect to wait to get a table. But worth the time and money spent. This "Greek Omelet" is a "meal in itself" with chicken, feta cheese, black olives, tomatoes, pickled banana peppers, spinach leaf and onion. Say "crispy bacon" and it's crispy without being over cooked!

Love that the menu actually changes for lunch and dinner. By far probably one of the best street food spots in Hampton Roads. This is a must try people!

This place is a great hidden gem. We go here at least twice every time we go down on vacation. The meal never disappoints and the Rudee Ruckus is always one of our favorite drinks! The fresh catch of the day was fantastic and so was the fried flounder sandwich! My wife loves the crab dip and the atmosphere is one of a kind for sure. The swinging tables are really cool and if you go late enough you can see some of the charters on what they caught! I highly recommend this place and next time we are down there we will be back!

Anyone who hasn't been here. You need to go. The food is outstanding. They sometimes have a little wait but it's definitely worth the wait. Amy & Sean are terrific owners. If there are any issues, they're right on top of things. Like I said before, if you haven't tried it out make sure you go try it. It's worth every dime. Fantastic service and crew.

Absolutely gorgeous location with a very challenging beer and cider menu! Their white Christmas lager is unreal and they have a 757 lager that is a treat made for the summer!! If you’re in the Virginia Beach area (or Norfolk) it is a MUST to stop by. You can enjoy the fire pits, swinging chairs, picnic tables and overall beautiful scenery! The staff is also knowledgeable, friendly and open to chat! Finally they have food trucks with reasonable prices available too!

First, let me emphasize that the drinks here are amazing! We came here on a Wednesday afternoon just before happy hour and I was not disappointed. The servers were very hospitable and welcoming (especially "Cali") and we were attended to within minutes of choosing our own seats. The oysters were fresh and flavorful. The waterfront views added a cherry on top of an already great dine-in experience. Best deal: the Crushes during happy hour which you can mix flavors and get creative. This creation here is one I named the Tropical Redhead (Watermelon/Mango Crush). It was exquisite. Ask for it when you go.

This museum was awesome. I'm not an airplane enthusiast, but these were quite interesting. There is a WWII hanger and a WWI hanger. The volunteers are super knowledgeable and very friendly. I learned a lot about war planes. Come on a summer Saturday to catch an airplane show. In spite of the fact that you can't touch anything, my two boys, 4 and 7 yo, were intrigued the entire visit. Big parking lot available. Don't forget to stop by the dinosaur park on your way out. Entrance fee required to the museum, dinosaur park is free.

This aquarium has so much to offer to all who attend....both locals and visitors. I am a native of the area. It houses a vast variety of sea life at different sea depths and hands-on nature experiences (sting ray pool and interactive educational stations). It is visually stimulating for all (young, tweens, adults, seniros and special needs). I took my mother and my nephew who is a special needs preschooler - both were overwhelmed with the attractions (coral reef, sharks, assortment of fish, sting rays, lobster, etc.) A great way to spend a rainy, cold Saturday. We spent about 3 hours there - lots of walking. Limited seating for resting; no room for boredom. So much to see!

I went on a solo nature walk, leaving the fam at our rented VRBO. From the bay to the wetlands to the dunes and beach, it was SO peaceful and I loved reading the signs along the way. I didn't see any raptors, but that's just my own luck. Came back a second time for sunset - spectacular, from the parking lot or from one of the western-facing docks.
