Highly recommend
Beautiful! Our guide Ethan was great. Serious about taking care of us while wanting to show us the best of the bay. Saw several birds, not lucky enough to see any marine animals. The sun going down was very pretty—not the spectacular colors, but we really enjoyed it.

Professional, beginner-friendly, stunning views
Absolutely fantastic. The two guides did a great job prepping us for the double kayak. They were excellent at keeping pace, were very knowledgable about local wildlife, and gave us a really great trip. The sunset was gorgeous and we had several porpoise sightings! Highly recommend!

Great tour
We really enjoyed this tour! Nick was a great tour guide! We may have not seen the sunset due to clouds, but we did see dolphins! We highly recommend this tour.

Best view on my trip
Nathan and Hannah were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond.
I went on this with my mom who is older and they were super patient and helpful. They gave us all the needed gear and taught us everything. We had no prior experience and were able to master it by the end.
The day we went the wind was rough and the bay was choppy but they kept our spirits high. Nathan was ready and willing to tow our kayak if needed to insure we had a great experience.
This was a highlight of my trip and I would gladly do it again.

Sunset kayak for the win!
Great kayaking experience! Round trip was roughly 3.5 miles of pleasant rowing. Roughly 2 hours. Would recommend!

Sunny sunset in Seattle!
Eathan was a wonderful tour guide. He showed us all the high points and had a calm and friendly demeanor.
Of course, the sunset was the most memorable part of our trip!
