Liam was our guide and gave us a beautiful tour of the harbor, despite the fog. He shared history of the area and accommodated our paddling pace. Would definitely recommend this tour!

We went out with Liam a guide, 2 teens and me in 2 double kayaks. Relaxing trip, not pressured to go at a pace. Saw some sea lions on a buoy and a couple of birds. Pleasant trip with a bit of local information. Always nice to be on the water and see the town from the water. We were out for about 1 hour- 1 hour 15. Foggy to start with, soon cleared and don’t matter. Limited information given so may be useful to note: Kayaks are open and you are likely to get wet ( bit different to UK) There is somewhere to leave a bag on the beach that is secure Toilets very close at the pier
