Absolutely loved this activity. Got to see the sea otters with their pups and that was just amazing!! Our guide Ann was just brilliant and so knowledgeable. There was only the 2 of us on the trip with Ann, so that just made it even better!! It was so peaceful out there. Just you, the water and the wildlife. Would definitely recommend.

What a beautiful trip down the California coast with all the perfect stops along the way. We stopped at a delicious bakery for lunch recommend by Pablo who was a terrific tour guide! I highly recommend this tour. Sit back and enjoy the scenery!

We got George our guid/driver which is a great guide. A walking encyclopedia that presented his knowledge in a perfect way. There was a problem with the car and it should be fixed.

Turned out to just me and my niece, so was private and personalized. Taylor was a fabulous guide!
