It was a great tour. Kayaking was easy. Saw lots of birds and harbor seals and learned a lot from Dave. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

This was a wonderful introduction to kayaking for my whole family! Our guide, Dave, gave us a wonderful tour of the harbor and adeptly handled our group of seven (ranging in ages 9 to 50+) in addition to another group of three. It was great fun, informative, and just the right amount of challenge. Easily the most memorable part of our vacation. Would highly recommend. Thanks!
