Number of Days: 4
Day 1: Start with a breath of fresh air.

Day 2: Enjoy the water and the greens.
AM: Spend the morning fishing the surf or ocean kayaking alongside dolphins. Or fit in a round of golf at one of our challenging courses.
PM: Lunch during a luxury cruise on the Virginia’s Jewel as you tour natural areas, landmarks and the city’s beautiful waterfront neighborhoods. Or spend the afternoon touring the Christian Broadcasting Network and view a taping of “The 700 Club” with Pat Robertson. Evening offers a Little Theatre of Virginia Beach production or a laughfest at The Funny Bone. Savor a multi-sensory experience at Otani, for a sizzling evening of flames, comedy and knife-flashing banter as your chef prepares Japanese cuisine at your Hibachi-style table.

Day 3: Nature calls.
AM: Drive the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail, from Seashore-to-Cypress Loop, for prime viewing of migrating shorebirds and abundant wildlife. You’ll reach the Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel, an engineering wonder of the world. Stop at First Landing State Park, where the first permanent English settlers stepped on the continent.
PM: Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge is home to river otters, white-tailed deer, mink, red fox and turtles. End the day with a world-class music or stage show at Sandler Center for the Performing Arts, and dinner at one of Town Center’s culinary choices.

Day 4: Greet the dolphins.
AM: Time for one more unforgettable experience – a Dolphin Cruise or Whale Watching trip from The Virginia Aquarium. These two-hour excursions put you in their natural habitat, offshore where dolphins splash in the warmer months, and whales’ migration path follows in the coolest weather. Back on shore, a fine meal by the Chesapeake Bay can be found at Lynnhaven Fish House or Hot Tuna Bar and Grill.
