Sea Lion Adventure - If you want to get as close as you can to sea lions in the wild, this activity is for you. Gary is a skilled guide and taught us how to kayak. He was very patient and EXCEPTIONAL in handling my autistic son who loves sea lions. He was also very generous with his time and talents. He didn’t rush us and I think it’s because I said my son needed time to acclimatize. It took us about 3-4hrs and every cent was worth it seeing my son so happy. Just some insights to help travelers: 1. Balance is needed to get on and off the kayak plus courage. I am clumsy, SUPER heavy but courageous. I made it. If you have mobility issues and worry about how inelegant you’ll look getting on the kayak, you might need to pass. 2. Use the lifevest and bring sunblock. 3. Bring drinking water. There’s a vending machine but no water. There’s a water fountain. 4. Toilet is clean and nearby. Shower is clean but FARRRR. So just shower at the hotel or home. More convenient too. 5. Pee before you set off. You can pee in the ocean but getting back on the kayak from the water can be challenging. 6. Leave valuables in the car or have a small waterproof bag that can hold your car keys and money. Make sure you have a waterproof/water resistant camera. 7. Sea lions smell fishy so just bring Vicks in case it gets too overwhelming. 8. HAVE FUN AND DON’T FEED OR PET THE WILDLIFE!

Awesome Trip - I had a great time kayaking with the sea lions! This was a first for me and Gary was so awesome! He is a wonderful tour guide and assisted me in everything I needed help with. I highly recommend this awesome adventure. It was such a great time and the highlight of my trip!

Great Trip - Our guide, Gary, was great. It was a perfect father / son (teenagers) trip. As a native, he was able to share many interesting stories about the area and as a “survivalist”, he gave us a lot of interesting tips and facts. Gary was prepared, super flexible and accommodating. The whole experience was entertaining and we will be talking about this experience for years!

Best Experience Ever! - We had the best experience ever with Gary and cannot recommend him enough! From start to finish, the day was filled with fun and learning. Gary is not only skilled but also incredibly patient, kind, and entertaining. We had the chance to interact closely with sea lions and witness some amazing sea life, all while learning new skills we can use in the future. Gary made sure we never felt rushed, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. It was truly an honor to spend the day with him. We’re already planning to book with him every time we’re in the area. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience, Gary is your guy!
