| In the fall paddle with runs of salmon as they head up river to spawn. Paddle another river, then it's a short hike to beautiful water falls and pools. Explore old mine sites, caves and pioneer settlements. In the spring there's the majestic migration of Grey Whales as they make their way north. Witness the huge herring runs and see the hundreds of Bald Eagles and Sea Lions which congregate to feed on these fish. Spend some time beachcombing, collecting oysters and clams to compliment the evening dinners. |  |
| Experience the excitement of whales coming within feet of your kayak. These gentle giants of the ocean are very curious of kayakers and will come very close to inspect you.

We have done our best to ensure our guests have the safest most stable kayaks for these adventures. |
