The company and experience were great. The Viator app was terrible, link didn't work, address was not linked. Better to book directly. But do go, these guys were great.

It was fun to see the Sea Otters floating by us while chewing on food , such as snails. Loved viewing the large amounts of wildlife, i.e., sea lions, harbor seals, cormorants, great and snowy egrets, brown pelicans, as we floated by in our catamaran. Our tour guides were very informative and super friendly!! My husband, granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended!!!!

Highly recommend. We've done the kayak trip on Elkhorn Slough in the past. Everything about this tour was great. The guides were friendly and informative (Wyatt and Joe). They were relaxed and made us comfortable, answered questions thoroughly, provided blankets and binoculars. We saw a variety of birds, seals and sea lions and otters. The electric boat added to the experience because of the quiet and lack of fumes.
