Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to locations where we saw seals and sea lions. His pace was great and he gave us a lot of local information. We would definitely do the tour again!

This was a very pleasant harbor bay wildlife tour for about 90 minutes. We got lucky with the weather as there had been a big storm earlier in the week. Noah was a very knowledgeable guide and we really appreciated his descriptions of the various forms of sea life as well as his general knowledge of the this area of the coast. Saw lots of sea lion, seals and tons of seabirds of every variety. My niece had never been kayaking before and Noah took extra care in giving her instructions and leading to her comfort level.
