5.00Definitely do this kayaking tour!!! Professional staff (Cole, with an octopus tattoo, and a shorter girl with long black hair in pony tail were our guides, sorry I forgot name), were courteous and willing to answer every question and ease whatever anxiety/fear about getting out into the beautiful ocean! My husband and I saw a baby sea lion up close when we went into the cave, and plenty of sea birds. Just beautiful. Do it!!!
