Pleasant kayak trip

Great experience Kayaking on the bay. The Kayaks are new and instruction is provided for novices. You get to watch wildlife and take in local Naval activities in the southbay. Please note that Parking can be challenging so arrive a little early .

Spectacular experience!

Michael was timely and efficient and gave us a brief history of the area, in addition to a helpful kayaking lesson. Equipment was all clean and in good working order. My daughter did great and the hour on the water really built her confidence. It was a gorgeous day and a spectacular experience! We will be back! :-)
