Good experience - It was a very pleasant experience. You only need two hours to do the whole tour, take photos and enjoy. The only bad thing was that there was a biologist yelling at all the kayakers to stay away from the algae part, which is necessary to get from one side to the other. So it seemed illogical to me. The experience with the kayakers was very kind and pleasant. The only bad thing was that crazy man yelling at people. His treatment was very rude and overshadowed the great experience and service that the company offers.

This is now a must do every visit! - Kayaking in Monterey Bay was my favorite thing to do on this trip!! The people at Adventures by the Sea were absolutely wonderful! Kind, helpful, and friendly. They have everything you need for your adventure. We saw otters playing, seals, and sea lions. The water was pretty smooth. It was a WONDERFUL experience from start to finish. I will go with this company every single time I’m in Monterey.

Awesome experience - Great service. Knowledgeable. Only been kayaking once before but they made it super easy. Told us where the otters were hanging out along the coast today and they were spot on. I’d definitely rent from them again.

Amazing experience!!! - The staff was very helpful in teaching our kids how to row properly and showed us a large area map on where to go and what'd we see at each area. The whole experience was absolutely amazing! We are definitely going to do it in 6 weeks when we visit again! If you want to rest, find a bed of help, grab a piece (gently) until you stop moving and then let go. The kelp will situate itself under your kayak and kinda hold you still for a bit so you can relax and take it all in without being pushed or pulled by the ocean's tide as much. Amazing experience!!! A must experience when in Monterey!!
