“The Dinosaur Caves full-service guided tour is AMAZING! Everything was provided (helmets, life jackets, wetsuits), and we didn’t even have to carry our kayaks to the beach. Our guide was safe and knowledgeable. My kids, ranging from 9–16, had a blast!”

“I went kayak fishing and had a great time. Cole was an outstanding guide who made it hassle-free. All the gear was provided, and his experience convinced this old beginner to take it up as a new hobby!”

“Excellent experience kayaking Morro Bay. PFDs, paddles, and kayaks were out and ready when we arrived. Genny, our guide, took pictures and made the tour even more fun. Saw lots of otters and sea lions. Exceeded our expectations!”
