He was incredibly attentive, kind, and knowledgeable, even teaching me how to swim properly in surge conditions.

Brian went above and beyond by taking me back out a second time when my initial photos didn't turn out well, I was a bit scared and too far.

I struggled with trim and buoyancy bit in the surge and I'd love to do it all over again knowing what I know now. Either way, incredible experience and Zach is absolutely the man to do it with.

The sun took its time coming out, but the weather was still beautiful and made for a nice morning paddle. Our guide, Dylan, was super knowledgeable about the area and shared interesting facts along the way. We even got to paddle into a cave, which was really cool, and saw plenty of wildlife--sea lions lounging on the rocks, pelicans flying by, and garibaldis swimming around. Heads up--kayaks do tip! Ours flipped just as we came back to shore, so I'd recommend bringing a change of clothes and some towels. They have lockers for rent if you don't want to leave things in your car.
