Adventures By The Sea

I just got back from an amazing guided kayak tour with Jan. She was knowledgeable and fun. There was so much wildlife and history for her to talk about. I'd gone whale watching the day before and while we saw a variety of whales and dolphins this was hands down the best experience. For most of the 2.5 hours we did very light paddling but the wind picked up as we were returning to the beach so the final 5-10 minutes required moderate effort. I will definitely kayak with Adventures By The Sea when I'm in the area again!

We did a guided Kayak Tour through Adventures by the sea. It was just two of us in our party and we chose to do a group guided tour. By pure luck, all of the other grii group canceled so it effectively became a private tour. Our Tour guide Jan was super knowledgeable, friendly, and did a great job keeping a good pace for us, especially considering 1 of us had never kayaked. Our Tour was exactly at the 2 hour point, great views and weather, we saw tons of wildlife and worked a big appetite for dinner.

I would recommend the Cannery Row location and make sure to put sunscreen everywhere (I forgot my feet so definitely don't forget that!)

Rented bikes and kayaks on three separate occasions from them (right at Lovers Point beach in Pacific Grove, CA) for our groups of different sizes. Always a smile. So friendly. They didn't hesitate to give us tips on where to bike and kayak, where to sea the wild life and so on. They also give us a run down of the water that day (which part can be wavy or windy and so on).

Nice equipment (kayaks and ladies' / mountain bikes). Top-notch service. Considering that they have monopoly here, it is wonderful to see that they still provide such good service.

See my photos showing their kayaks in good condition.

I've been kayaking all my life. I've mostly done lake and river kayaks, but I have done a couple of ocean tours. My confidence level alone on open water is not the greatest, so I booked a two-hour private kayak tour with Adventures By The Sea.

This was one of the best experiences of my life. I will always remember it. My tour guide was named Anne, and she was phenomenal. Our personalities matched very well. She knew how to kayak, she knew the water, and she knew the area. She knew how to find wildlife such as otters, which I really wanted to see up close. And I did. There were so many otters. So many sea lions. Jellyfish. Crabs. It was amazing to be in their natural habitat and observe them.

Anne crafted the tour to what I really wanted to do. I was dying to go out to open waters, so together we paddled out to the red buoy marking 1 mile out at 100 feet deep.

The weather was cool, the water was only slightly choppy here and there, and it was exhilarating and calming and exciting and peaceful all at the same time.

I highly recommend utilizing Adventures by the Sea for a superb kayaking experience.

Anne, thank you so much for being such an excellent tour guide.

My wife and I walked in mid morning and had no problems booking 2 kayaks for the day. The boat launch is directly across the street, on a small beach between buildings. The price is very reasonable, and they offer dry bags, towels, changing rooms, dry pants/jackets, AND a heated floor for no extra cost. This was definitely a perk!

Just enjoyed 2+ hours on a ebike tour! We were lucky & it ended up just being the 2 of us with our guide! You could smell the ocean, pine trees and it was a sensory experience. You are walked thru how ebikes work and practice beforehand.

Attention to getting the bike adjusted to you only thing missing was water bottles.

Loved it and may do it again ( self guided) before we leave

We rented some bikes from here to ride around the trail. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Perhaps next time, we will get some kayaks.

I have done the surreys before, I will just say they are more work than you expect and less fun especially after the first 20 minutes. The individual bikes are better IMHO.

First time using this service. Rented a paddle board for my 16 years first time paddle boarding and my kid loved it. Was all smiles. The staff was super accommodating and very nice. Would definitely use them again. I recommend Adventures By The Sea.

I have been going to Adventures by the Sea for over a decade now.
I have planned over 6 group events for Scouting and a couple work events. These guys are so dependable and easy to deal with. I cannot think of looking for alternatives. Also sent family members for private events and equally smooth.

Me and my partner chose the ocean tandem kayak. For however long we wanted it cost $70 which seemed like a pretty good price. For this we were provided with the kayak and oar of course, but also a dry bag, a dry long sleeve shirt, and dry pants that go over your regular clothes. This was a relief because we did not bring the most waterproof clothes, but the provided clothes protected all wetness from our clothes underneath. We were helped by two very helpful employees, one of them a young guy who gave us great tips for our ride. It was my first time kayaking in the ocean, and my partner's first time kayaking in general, but overall it was pretty easy. Some opposite currents combined with the dense kelp forest in some parts made for a slightly challenging stretch, but nothing too crazy. There were many chances to view sea otters, and we also saw several sea lions out on the water. By the way, wearing shoes is fine on the kayak without them getting wet, but getting off the kayak is the end is the most likely time they will get wet (this happened to me, but my partner was able to keep her shoes/feet dry). Overall, this was a great experience at a great price, and we will try the bike rental next.
