We are 91 and 81 parents with daughter 60 and grandson 24.
Yet the eco tour was fun for all and very informative too. We hadn't kayaked in years but manage to make it out and back without incident. No speeding power boats kept the bay calm so other than stiff breeze, it was not hard to paddle. Matt kept up a terrific and interesting talk for the whole trip!

We had such a great experience, mostly due to the enthusiasm of our guide, Matt, for sharing his knowledge of sea life as well as plants. He is like your best memories of your favorite biology teacher. Funny, engaging, and personable, you cannot go wrong with a kayaking tour with him. We were 100% satisfied with all aspects of the tour, especially the nice surprise of watching a dolphin breaching nearby our group.
