I can’t say enough good things about this kayaking and hiking tour in Dana Point!
From the moment I arrived, everything was so well organized and welcoming. Its clear Sam is genuinely passionate about the area. I felt totally comfortable, even as a total beginner on the water.
The kayaking portion was absolutely stunning. The pace was perfect, giving me time to take it all in without ever feeling rushed. Definitely got to see sea lions!
The hiking part was just as amazing. Sam shared interesting facts about the area and marine life, which made the experience even more meaningful.
I definitely recommend this tour to anyone in the area!!
