Check-in was easy and since we came prepared - we were in the water in only a few minutes. Our guide, Lindsey did a solid job explaining a ton of the area's history and marine life. I would book any of their trips but the Sunset on sounds especially nice.

Kayaking out in the ocean to see the harbor seals was awesome. Tour was smoothly run. Patrick was a great guide and very laid back.

We had so much fun!! I’ve been kayaking quite a bit before and my boyfriend had never been. We both had an AMAZING time. Our guide Sammy (Sami??) was SO knowledgeable. She’s going to college to study marine science, so what better person to have as a tour guide? We got to see sea lions, different birds, fish, crabs and so many other cool boats. Two hours was also the perfect amount of time!
