Assa and Georgia were the best guided. They were knowledgeable and supportive. It was a great family trip for first timers.

Our tour was a lot of fun, and our guides, Luke and Sophia, were great! Luke especially shared a wealth of knowledge about kayaking in general, and about the history and wildlife of the local environment. The tour was well paced, and the atmosphere was excellent. We definitely plan on booking the Channel Islands tours in the future, and would be pleased to have these wonderful guides again!

Marley and Spencer were absolutely great, and very informative. It was just my friend and I on the tour so we had their full attention. We would have liked to have had separate kayaks though instead of a tandem one.

The experience was great and Adam’s friendliness and knowledge were much appreciated. Would book another tour just for him. The length was decent and we were lucky enough to have a “private” tour due to being the only group.

Asa was a great tour guide and very knowledgable. My wife and I had a great time learning about the harbor ecosystem and experiencing sea lions and seals up close in the kayaks.
