    Review summary

    Excellent
    405 reviews•Google Maps

    This outfit really delivers when it comes to wildlife viewing and quality equipment. Reviewers consistently rave about spotting sea otters, seals, and sea lions during kayaking tours, with some even catching glimpses of whales. The staff gets tons of praise for being helpful and professional, and guides like Ann, Jan, and Sydney earn special mentions for their knowledge and patience with beginners. People appreciate the thoughtful amenities too: heated floors, changing rooms, dry suits, towels, and waterproof bags all come included. Both kayak tours and bike rentals seem to be solid options here. The bike cruisers work great for scenic rides along Cannery Row, while the kayaking trips cater well to first-timers and families with kids. Kyle, the owner, apparently goes out of his way to accommodate guests' needs and ensure everyone has a good time at their own pace. One reviewer did mention a rude staff member during kayak launching, but that seems to be an isolated incident in an otherwise welcoming operation. The location in Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary makes for spectacular views and memorable experiences on the water.

    We had booked a kayak tour for an early birthday outing and we are so glad we did! Jan was a fun and helpful guide. We got so lucky to go in a hot day. Wasn't sure what to wear but learned that you can basically wear any pants, shorts or top because they provide outer layer shell tops and pants to go over your clothes and keep them dry. My husbands shorts got wet from the seat as he sat in the back... mine did not. Your feet will get wet for sure. I wore flip flops..hw went barefoot. We absolutely loved seeing the sea otters (some had babies) and sea lions. It was an amazing adventure and we will be back to rent a kayak to go on our own now that we know how it is. If you are in the area.. this adventure is so special. ❤️
