Highly recommend sunset. Absolutely gorgeous! Simon our guide was great!! Nice to see the wildlife close up. Very peaceful

I highly recommend the sunset paddle! We had a party of 6 and 2 guides (one leading, one bringing up the rear) led us through the harbor, under a giant catamaran, past seals and on out into the ocean to see the seals on the buoy. Absolutely beautiful evening, sun setting as we came back in and to the wharf, then under the wharf. Our guides kept us away from boats entering/leaving the harbor, they clearly knew what they were doing, and they offered stories/history about the harbor, wharf, seals and birds. A truly wonderful trip!!!

I brought along my husband as well as my sister and niece from Virginia and their FIRST Kayak experience was simply phenomenal!!! We all enjoyed paddling while watching the beautiful sunset! We had the best tour guide, Ceann!

Paddle Sports Center is fantastic. We rented some SUPs one morning and then came back for the sunset kayak. It was awesome. We stayed out through the gorgeous sunset and the first stars coming out. Absolutely breathtaking. Taylor was a knowledgable, fun, and safe guide. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Siamo arrivati da Paddle Center piuttosto tardi, verso le 17:30 e considerando che la struttura avrebbe chiuso alle 19 eravamo preoccupati di non poter noleggiare i kayak per fare un tour della costa; Adam ci ha suggerito di fare il tour del tramonto, opzione che abbiamo subito accettato; è stata una esperienza splendida, Adam è stata una guida perfetta, ci ha correttamente testato sulla nostra dimestichezza con l'acqua e con il kayak, quindi abbiamo cominciato il nostro private tour, infatti eravamo io e mio figlio da soli con la guida. Abbiamo pagaiato attraverso il porto e quindi ci siamo diretti fuori in oceano aperto, dove abbiamo doppiato la boa del miglio fuori del porto, sulla boa c'era una famiglia di foche che ci ha salutato con clamore. Adam ha commentato tutte le tappe del tour con una grande dovizia di interessanti particolari. Tutto splendido.
