About
The best way to experience a sunset, in our humble opinion, is on the water, at the edge of it all. Join us for a relaxing evening in our kayaks as we bid farewell to the setting sun. Who knows, we may even get a visit from one of the local harbor seals or otter families that live near by. All trips include guided instruction, tandem sea worthy sea kayaks and all related kayak gear, plus they are great for beginners and experienced paddlers alike!
