Fantastic kayak and hike trip with Ron and Fred. We had a great time and both guys were excellent at creating exitement and making us feel comfortable.

Fred and Ron were excellent tour guides, the weather was really wet, foggy and the sea was a little choppy when we went out in the morning, so my recommendation would be to make sure you have good clothes to keep you dry if the weather isn't so nice. The hike was nice through the trails up to the old military fort and once the weather cleared up in the afternoon the view across the bay was beautiful. I would highly recommend the tour, make sure you can handle the length of kayaking as this was tiring for those of us who are new to it, but it was also really rewarding. Amazing experience, would definitely recommend!
