    Pros: The kayak tour was fun and my family really enjoyed ourselves. The tour guide was so sweet…read moreand kind. Next time we will probably just rent kayaks to do our own navigating but the tour was good for beginners and groups with smaller children. Cons: I had difficulty initially making reservations via their website and calling (a month ahead). I ended up emailing the info address and received a confirmation "reservation" email. However, after arriving at 3 locations, we still never figured out where our reservation was made for. We also had issues with using Groupon. I spent about an hour trying to resolve the hiccup and thankfully the front office staff was able to find the Groupons while we were on the tour. It all worked out in the end but the headaches from reservation to departing was aggravating.

    This was a very disappointing experience. I signed my 10-year old up for a surf class as the…read morewebsite says they are able to do child lessons. She is an excellent swimmer (on swim team) and likes to waterski and sail--she was excited for surfing. When we arrived, the two instructors were extremely disaffected. They barely introduced themselves, didn't ask the names of the participants or any other info. There were 8 people ranging from 9-young adult. There were two instructors. After about a 5 min on-land lesson, they went out. The boards for the little kids were the same size as the adults. No one helped my daughter or the other two younger kids get out. Once out, my daughter was able to catch a wave or two for a second and I think she really liked it, but sadly battling back out past the breaking waves she took a surfboard to the face and got knocked down pretty hard. She got back up, but neither instructor noticed any of it. The other kids also struggled; by one hour in of the 90 minute lesson all three of your kids under 12 had quit. They brought their boards in. The instructor's either didn't notice or didn't care. I think for $90 per person, the lesson should have been a way to share the fundamentals and get kids excited about surfing. My child instead said she felt scared by it, didn't know how to get out from under the board at one point, and that the instructors were mean. So, that was kind of the opposite of what I'd hoped. If you say you can teach kids, please hire people who like children. Staff it so that young children get enough attention that they don't have a negative experience. Maybe greet paying customers either a smile or a hello or a greeting. Altogether this was a really bad experience. I also wrote to the email listed on the website and heard no response.
