Tons of fun - We had a great time doing the kayaking tour, our guide was informative and energetic. We got to see sea lions, otters, and pelicans. Have towels in your car in case you get wet, some water got in the kayak and my pants were pretty soaked, but I had towels and anticipated that so it was fine. They have all the gear you will need, so just shore up for a good time.

Top notch experience - Great experience. It was our first time kayaking and we had our nine year old with us. All of the necessary equipment was provided to make it a safe and comfortable tour. Great information about the history of the area. Would recommend this to anyone regardless of experience.

So fun!!! - We went with our family and had a blast! Blaine was amazing. I am not athletic, but he made the trip so fun and easy. We were able to watch the sunset at the perfect time. He knew so much knowledge and I have learned so much about marine life, Seattle, etc. So fun!

So FUN! Totally nerded out - Booked the Ballard Locks Tour for myself and two civil engineer friends who were visiting from out of town. We all LOVED the tour. We saw wildlife and learned about the sound and infrastructure of the area. We were able to enter the lock twice. It was very, very cool. Lindsay was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. I would totally recommend this!

Great way to get out on the water - This is a great kayak tour! It’s pretty gentle overall and beginners will have no problem. Getting to see the seals up close and in their natural environment was a highlight of our entire trip. Lindsay is a wonderful guide!

Worth the $! - It was great! Teri took our small group of 6 out onto the water. We saw harbor seals, herons, geese (and baby geese), eel grass, starfish, crabs, and we heard the sea lions. We learned a lot about the Puget Sound, the local tribes and local history, salmon run, and the south resident orcas. Teri was a great guide, and we felt safe at all times. I do wish we went further out into the sound, but I understand how that could be challenging for a guide to handle. I would definitely say that this was worth the money.

Disappointed in Seattle. - I was very excited for this tour. However, I received a call about an hour before the start time telling me it was cancelled because I was the only one who signed up. That didn't give me enough time to find another activity and I had already paid. Super disappointed and have not received a refund.
