An awesome sporting goods store with top brands and a nice selection. One staff member was…read moreextremely knowledgeable and provided excellent service, and we appreciate him. From the reviews, customers really like this store and I did also. A comment to the owner and manager: We spent $400+, but it was obvious that a few staff members were watching us as if we were going to steel something. Never did they approach us to ask if we needed something (to maybe feel the situation out). It made us feel uncomfortable as customers. It was obvious and not an observation or perception error on our part. I even approached one staff member and asked if I could take a few pictures (not of customers) for a Google review and got a strange look and pause, before they said, I guess. I would recommend to the staff to kindly engage a customer, if you are suspicious; that usually helps clarify any concerns. Other than some uptight staff, we enjoyed this store.

I booked a half day guided fly fishing experience for me and my dad. I had never done it before and…read moremy dad had not done it in many many years. Cameron was our guide and the entire experience - from booking - through the end of the experience was phenomenal! They are patient, kind, encouraging, knowledgeable, personal, and accommodation people. Cameron was definitely born for this job and I cannot thank him enough for providing such an amazing intro to fly fishing. We had a blast and both caught fish despite some really crummy weather! His spirits and enthusiasm kept us going and feeling excited the whole time!

I'll be back for more flies advise soon!

I asked why they would put it online if they didn't have it. She said the website is never accurate. I'm curious how they manage their inventory. Don't waste your time with this company. They want all your information to sell it, and I believe they list items that they don't have in stock just to get your information.

The quality of most items we looked at were reasonably priced in comparison to other outlet stores.

Our guides (Allyson, Kate, Lee, and David) we're super knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly, always kept us all safe.

Definitely recommend booking a trip with RMOC!

Frankly I was embarrassed to bring the bike in, but the mechanic (I'm sorry I forgot your name,2/26 around 10 am) was SO kind and didn't make me feel like an idiot, actually showed me what was going on. Then gave me some things to watch out for and advised some service I should ask my LBS to do. Cleaned up my bike, put some lube on the chain and when I asked what I owe him he told me to have a great day and ride safe. You don't get service like this often especially from a bike shop when margins are tight. Thank you, sir!

I love that! There was little need to ask questions about the logistics of what we needed to do where we needed to go. They crushed it! I appreciated the genuine interaction with the staff again, from the time we entered the storefront, getting equipped with , instruction and training, the ride to and from the river, and of course, the on river experience. They knocked it out of the park! I have gone rafting in a number of places with a number of different outfitters. This business being small, fills in all the personalized gaps that you lose in larger companies. Kudos to Salinas adventures!...thanks Angie! I would recommend without hesitation, and if I live closer, I would return... Hands-down!
