Overview

The 2 Hour Whale Watch Kayaking Tour offers the chance to safely view migrating gray whales via kayak in their natural habitat. Each tour is lead by experienced guide(s) who ensure participants safely navigate the coastal waters with the potential to see different types of marine life that inhabit one of the highest concentrations of sea-life in all of California. Our guides are there to make sure you have the most intimate and amazing experience. Part of that is a strict adherence to the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Ocean Etiquette Guidelines established by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In accordance with the laws and guidelines, we remain at least 100 yards away from whales and 50 yards away from dolphins. We avoid following behind or directly approaching in front of these animals. By following these guidelines, we ensure that we are safe, do not disturb these amazing creatures of the sea and have a wondrous experience.

Great experience!

My husband and I really enjoyed the kayak tour - we had a great guide - Gerardo at Everday California was knowledgeable and friendly! We saw a whale and dolphins, and the two hours flew by. We would definitely do it again!

Just do it!

Danielle's tour is wonderful. She gives tips for preparing that are completely accurate and helpful, right up to where to park. Then she's an amazingly clear presenter of everything from how to kayak to how to comport yourself in the water when on a tour with her. She connects with all the guests and remembers little facts about them, even while managing different abilities and personalities on the water. There are so many things I appreciated about her, from her organization loading the kayaks and her "pitstops" on the water that gave any newbies a chance to rest, to her interesting facts, her enthusiasm, and the general ease with which she managed the group and the tour. While we saw no whales, I now feel confident that my husband and I could easily rent a kayak on our own from Everyday California and enjoy an outing safely, because Danielle told us many aspects of the area that we should watch out for, as well as the rules of the bay. If you're trying to decide whether to go out, or with whom to go out, I'd pick Danielle every time. Oh...and take the early morning tour if you like having a smaller group. Maybe it's not always true, but it was definitely a winner for us, having only three kayaks out there with a great guide in the morning.

Danielle was a great guide. Really enthusiastic. We didn't get to see any whales, but it was still a great tour.

Fun date day and great staff!

My boyfriend and I went on the whale watching kayak tour and really enjoyed it. It’s a great way to do something active, get some sun, see playful animals, and learn a few new things! Though we didn’t see any whales or up close sea lions, we did see some dolphins and a huge area of birds in the water that flew by us at one point. It was quite a site and neat experience! From check in to the end of the tour, the staff were great. They worked well to get us checked in and moving through to get our gear (helmets, life jackets, and we opted for wetsuits since it was a chilly day). They were efficient but relaxed and friendly. Our guides Danielle and John did a fantastic job with our group. Both were friendly and took turns telling us about the animals we may be seeing, the ecosystem of the water beneath us and how it changed from spot to spot and what the plants were like.. informative but still fun and not dull at all. I loved learning about the area and the animals through the tour. They also did a great job of breaking up the kayaking with brief stops to share info and give people time to rest, so it wasn’t like you had to power through for two hours of nonstop kayaking. I’m in pretty good shape but the breaks were nice and gave time to enjoy the scenery more. Thanks for an awesome tour, Danielle and John!

Beautiful day. Great guide.

We enjoyed this easy activity. It was fun entering through low waves. The guide, Greg, was very knowledgeable and friendly. All the staff was helpful and kind. We were disappointed that we couldn't actually enter the cave but the Lifeguard had just announced that it was not safe at low tide. Perhaps next time we will schedule for a high tide time.
