First of all, the store is super cute and everyone who worked there was so friendly and made us all feel welcome. I took my 3 kids (10 and 12 boys, 16 girl) and my mom - we all had a blast.
I'm not the most adventurous type, so I didn't love the scary parts of getting out to sea and coming back in - but my kids and mom loved it. It was actually hilarious bc it's pretty intense, but we just kept paddling as they told us and we made it out! On our walk down to the beach I felt like a big ol' dork in my life jacket and helmet, but were thankful for them once my anxiety started kicking in :)
My 10 year old rode with our guide Cal and he was very cool to him.
Both guides had a lot to say about the places we kayaked to - very interesting and knowledgeable. We didn't get to go in the caves bc of the waves but just being out on the water taking in the views was amazing enough. We did see a sea lion!
I would for sure recommend taking Dramamine if you are prone at all to motion sickness - I didn't and wish I would have. I didn't think you could get sea sick in a kayak but let me tell you, you can! The swell was huge out there, which was fun to be in but definitely affected a few of us. The guides were cool though and took a few of the puker boats in before the rest of the group.
I was anxious about coming in the entire time, but it honestly was not as scary as I thought it would be. And we even flipped over! But the guides were right there to help us. Don't expect a leisurely stroll - it's definitely a lot of paddling, but well worth it and the guides are there to help if you get nervous or topple over as several of us did.
Afterwards we walked to a cute restaurant to refuel and warm up under the heat lamps and recount our adventure, had a couple of cocktails and then walked back down to the beach for honestly the most incredible sunset I've ever seen. And I'm a sunset girl. It was magnificent. Highly recommend!
