Great activity - Mandi was very knowledgeable about the area and the biodiversity. The short hike had an amazing view at the top. Kayaking was fantastic with lots of wildlife! 2- person Kayaks, so even little kids would be fine having an adult in the boat with them.

Best. Tour. Guide. EVER! - I can’t possibly praise Mandy Davis enough! She was an absolute treasure of a resource, and knew the area like the back of her hand. First, she drove us less than 10 minutes away from the harbor, to a hike with an awesome panoramic view of Morro Bay and surrounding area. Along the hike, she told us the names of countless indigenous plants. She is a biologist and so intelligent. After the hike, she gave us a lesson on proper kayaking technique. Then, we had a lovely time on the water, seeing sea otters and sea lions and other wildlife. Mandy was considerate and thoughtful and patient. Best of all was the wealth of knowledge she shared with us!

Beautiful Day on the Estuary with Mandy - Mandy, was extremely knowledgeable. We appreciated the short hike prior to get a perspective of where we would be kayaking. It was a delightful day and we highly recommend it. A gorgeous way to see the wildlife and learn more about the area.
