Great kayak experience! Great price for all the gear being included, safety instructions and demonstration for first time kayakers. Guide Janet was very knowledgeable and funny.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have all the gear you need and the store is in a great location. The sea otters, seals, and sea lions were awesome.

We just did the kayak rental rather than a guided tour and it was great. The kayaks were easy to handle in the ocean, and we got to see a ton of sea otters, sea lions, and other wildlife.

Best thing ever! Staff super attentive. They get you out on the water and you’re on your own. They give you a good run down of animals and things to stay away from. Definitely will go again. They give you clothes to stay dry in as well as wet bags to put your things in. I highly suggest to at minimum to wear the pants. You are able to leave your things in the store but it’s not locked up.

Had a great time paddling in the bay! My son and I selected single, unguided kayak rentals and really enjoyed traversing the bay and marina at our own pace.

We arrived at the address of their main location and put on the gear they provided to keep (most of) our clothes dry. I was also able to put my travel purse into a water-tight bag and secure it to the kayak to keep with me. Otherwise, there were only cubbies (no lockers), although they did offer to hold my purse behind their desk.
After a kayak instruction, safety, and boundaries briefing, we picked out oars and took ourselves across the street to the beach where another employee helped us shove off.
We saw otters and sea lions! As instructed, we stayed far enough away that none of them looked up at us (part of the safety briefing). Even so, I've never had such an unobstructed view of these little guys! It was awesome! The sea lion barking and grunting launched some family memes and references for many years to come, I'm sure! LOL!
We all thoroughly enjoyed the self-directed nature of this tour. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Out of the week's worth of activities, this was the family favorite!

This is a trip you need to go on! It’s worth the money triple time, because of the friendly and accommodating staff. We got to see plenty of critters, learn so many exciting facts about the animals, and it was great to be toured by Corey!
