We had a great time and our guide Maddy was awesome. Got to see the entire harbor, some sea lions and baby crabs. It was very relaxing but also a decent workout. Highly recommended!

This was my first time on a kayak!! I was a little nervous and was scared , but Tim our tour guide was awesome!! Once we got on the kayak I felt relaxed, safe and not scared! Tim was very patient, courteous and knew all about Sterns Wharf. We saw alot of dolphins, sea lions, and they sure put on a show for us! It was a wonderful experience...we will never forget!! We highly recommend this tour and also recommend a private tour!!! Thanks Tim!! Sincerely, Kris and Margarita.

We came in on a cruise ship and wanted to go kayaking for some exercise. Amanda was a great guide and the tour was appropriate for our age (mid 50s gals). Amanda is a lifelong local and shared historical information about the area. It also helped that we had an absolutely beautiful day!
