Amazing experience! Totally worth it to have the guided experience. Our guide Heather was incredibly knowledgable about local flora and fauna. She helped us have the best views of wildlife and gave really great kayaking advice. Plus the single kayaks were key to our enjoyment. A+

We took the guided 2.5 hour tour of Elkhorn Slough. Our guide was Sam. We had a fantastic time. Sam was fun, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable, pointing out otters, harbor seals, CA sea lions, and so many birds. Great gear--appreciated the water proof jackets, etc. Felt safe and that we were in good hands. Highly recommend!
