We shuttle from the meeting location(usually our headquarters) to the launch site, where we will unload boats and get you set for the adventure. On the beach, you’ll get to know your guide(s) and the equipment. Our staff will make sure you’re properly outfitted, prepared and comfortable before launching. Expect to paddle approximately 3 to 3.5 hours plus a beach break for some stretching and snacking (healthy snacks included). Your paddle will bring you in to another shore where our staff will be there to shuttle you back.

FAQs
No. This tour is designed for advanced beginners who can get in and out of a kayak and maintain an easy, strain-free pace. If mobility or endurance is a concern, consider a loop tour instead.
Bring a bottle of water, any required personal medication, and sun/eye protection (sunglasses and/or a brimmed hat). Wear synthetic, athletic clothes that dry quickly (avoid cotton). Choose footwear that can get wet; closed-toe sandals or solid-sole shoes work best on rocky, slippery beaches (avoid flip flops). Bring binoculars and extra snacks if you want.
Yes. Shared tours use tandem (2-person) kayaks. If your group has an odd number, the empty seat may be filled by another customer or a staff member. If anyone in your party must be in a single kayak, book a private tour instead.
