Shell Beach Coastal Adventure Kayak Tour

Tom and his team have built something special here. This is a full-service operation, meaning you show up and they handle everything from gear to kayak transport down to the beach. Guides like Caroline, John, and Heather consistently earn praise for being knowledgeable, friendly, and safety-conscious. They'll lead you through stunning sea caves where you're likely to spot harbor seals, sea otters, dolphins, and pelicans along the dramatic coastline. The tours feel well-organized and thoughtfully run, with quality equipment including wetsuits, helmets, and dry bags provided. First-timers appreciate how confident the guides make them feel on the water, while experienced kayakers enjoy the local expertise that takes them to the best spots. They also sell kayaks and fishing gear, with several reviewers mentioning successful rockfish catches. One person noted difficulty receiving their tour photos afterward, but otherwise the operation runs smoothly. The location in Shell Beach makes for an easy walk to the launch point, and the overall vibe is professional yet genuinely passionate about sharing this beautiful stretch of coast.
