Harvest Full Moon night tour - We did the Harvest Full Moon tour and we lucked out with such amazing weather!! Judah was a guide. He was professional, experienced and even able to snap photos for the crew! Will definitely do this again. Thanks Dogpatch Paddles and Judah.

Sauna + cold plunge spot worth the money - Great setup for sauna, cold plunge, kayak, paddle board and swimming in the bay. Clean shower, spacious and great facilities.

Favorite SF experience - This was by far my favorite part of our trip to SF! The guide from Dogpatch Paddle was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable throughout our kayaking trip. We also had great views and a little seal friend that followed us as we paddled back to the cove. I would recommend this to anyone interested in kayaking or just having a great time!

Fun Way to Explore the Bay - This was my first time kayaking in the Bay/SF. I enjoyed launching from Crane Cove Park, and our instructor was helpful with telling us how to approach or avoid obstacles. I do wish there was a bit more instruction before we set out, as we weren't shown a map, told where exactly we were going, or any tips for kayaking in this location. We also booked a tour to the Bay Bridge but were guided back after McCovey Cove. Our tour was also shorter than the booked 2 hours. My favorite part was the amount of wildlife we saw - pelicans, seagulls, cormorants, a blue heron, sea lions, and a seal. Our guide helped identify all the animals. I would kayak here again, though I might just do a rental without a guide now that I have experience with this route.
