Having wanted to try kayaking for some time I picked Monterey Bay Kayaks. Sure glad I did. I spent several trips going into both locations (Monterey at Old Fisherman's Wharf and Moss Landing). I asked questions and got answers to everthing I needed to know. The staff at both locations is top notch. I picked Moss Landing due to no... More

The aquarium is great, but If you are at all interested in seeing critters close up in the wild then you must do this excursion. I dragged my 68 year old mom on their sunrise kayak and she loved it. They keep the groups small-there were only 8 of us (4 kayaks) and the guide. The kayaks are the kind... More

We rented the Kayaks up at the Elkhorn Slough location. Loved it. No time limit. Equipment was very good. Employees are very friendly and helpful. You will see a lot of seals and otters. This is an inland waterway so you will not see whales or dolphins. Water is calm with the exception of what any winds create. I thought... More

I had never kayaked before, but after talking to Cody on the phone we decided to make the 3 hour drive to the coast to celebrate a birthday on the water. We decided to skip the tour and rent single kayaks and try it ourselves. (You can save some money by going out yourselves instead of a tour.) The tour... More

We reserved the new 9am-11am 2hr guided Kayak Tour with MBK. It was an incredible experience for me and my husband. Pre-Trip info: I was debating between the 7am-9am sunrise tour v.s. 10am-1pm 3hr morning tour; where the 7am is too early and cold but ocean could get a bit rough after 12pm. I called them for more information to... More

We have a great first time kayaking experience. John was our guide and he was fantastic. He got ever comfortable before leaving the beach and once on the water, he was very knowledgeable, fun, and full of information. We recommend this for both first timers. They have everything you need, the equipment is in good shape and our guide was... More

Three of us took the two hour kayak tour....two of us were first-timers, one with a bit of experience. This was a long time item on my wishlist, and, boy, were my wishes fulfilled. We were led by Rachel. Any anxieties were quickly erased by Rachel's thorough yet simple instruction, her great sense of humor, her skills, and her obvious... More

Wow! We had no idea the what an awesome guide we were going paddling with today. Adam is that guide. Knowledgable, passionate and personable. He was a wealth of information from birds to mammals to local history. Everyone at Monterey Kayaks was really great!

We're total newbies but the tour guide for MBK (Savannah) treated us with outstanding patience. We opted for the 2 hour guided tour which allowed us plenty of opportunities to see Seals, Otters, etc. plus enough sea time for any newbie! Savannah went out of her way to be sure we felt comfortable and safe, which we did. She wanted... More
