We chose Beach Eco Tours for a department retreat one Friday afternoon, and we couldn't have been more pleased. From the moment Mike, Dave, and Ray started carrying paddle boards to the beach, they greeted us with high energy and excitement. Their instruction was clear and brief, and when one of us got taken by the current, they swung back... More

What a beautiful and fun experience! I went paddle boarding with Beach Eco Tours on the evening tour from First Landing State Park. It was my first time paddle boarding, so it was a little scary at first. But Mike gives you training on what to do before you go into the water, and gives you tips once your out... More

We were very please with Eco tours! Mike is very kind and did a great job! It was our first time and our friend was nervous. Mike did a great job making us feel comfortable and he has a lot of knowledge about the area. He took his time to point out neat wildlife! Would love to go paddle boarding... More

We had wanted to try SUP since arriving in Virginia Beach and Eco Tours were a great choice for our first time out. Just my son and me in the group in heavy rain, but Eric made it a super experience. After a short but detailed briefing we were up on the boards and out in the middle of the... More

Thanks again to Eric and Ryan for a great tour! They taught me the basics and tricks and enhanced my surfing skills. They also did a great job touring the Back Bay. They were also really friendly and knowledgeable! I would totally recommend Beach Eco Tours to friends. I am looking forward to my next tour with them. For now,... More

After trying stand up paddle a few years ago in Maui with little success, I was hesitant to try it again. However, after signing up for a tour with Beach Eco Tours, my tour guide Eric quickly realized that I needed a bigger board in order to support my weight and keep my balance. We cruised thru the bay off... More

The early evening tour with Ray on Aug. 14th 2012 was awesome! Great nature, gorgeous sunset - all very much enjoyed while on the paddle board. Ray explained very well how one should maneuver the paddle board and took care that everybody was doing and feeling well. I will definitely try it again and will recommend beach eco tours to... More

We won a paddle board tour for two on the Back Bay in Virginia Beach, what an experience. Ray received us and gave us the do's and don'ts and off we went on the boards. We left at around 6pm and paddled towards Crystal lake. With the sun going down and almost no wind we had perfect conditions. Well done... More

Mike, Eric and Ray were wonderful! They engaged us in conversation while teaching us the basics. They made sure we had a good time, too. (Note to self: be careful on rope swings.) I can't think of a better way to see this area than by a peaceful paddle on the water.
