A so so experience. We signed up mostly to learn about the local marine life but it really just turned into a kayak excursion which we could have done on our own. The highlight of it was eating kelp. To be fair to the guide, he was too busy corralling the party which consisted of wildly different skill levels and didn't seem to have the time to go into any details about the place.

Sometimes on these shorter trips we have a variety of abilities which can make it a challenge for the guides. They do try their best to engage everyone. It is unfortunate that you didn't get the information that you were hoping for. We try to create meaningful experiences for everyone, but it appears that we fell short of the mark this time. Thank you for the feedback. We will relate this to the staff and try to make sure that we do better next time. If you decide to try one of our longer trips then make sure that you mention to our office staff when you are booking that you are hoping to learn about marine life. We will make a note of it and do everything that we can to make sure that we meet your expectations. Thanks for joining us!

Excellent guide full of interesting information. As experienced kayakers we didn’t think we needed a guide, but were so glad we did! We even tasted kelp. Gorgeous area!
