Frequently Asked Questions

We meet at 8am and after everyone receives a briefing we shove off. We return around 4pm.

Yes, please call to talk to us about your private and custom trip.

The cost is $245 per person. If you have a larger group, we have group pricing at 5-10 and again 11-16.

By default we provide tandem (two person) kayaks and reserve the single kayaks for odd numbers of groups. If we have extra singles available, you may request a single before the guides unload the kayaks.

Yes! We have reduced the capacity of our boat by 60% to allow for plenty of space for social distancing. Masks are required while on the Sunfish, but you can take them off when kayaking. A pre-trip temperature scan is required of all passengers before loading the Sunfish.

No experience is necessary, but you MUST KNOW HOW TO SWIM. We aren’t looking for Olympic athletes, but you must be comfortable floating in the water.

We cover about 4-5 miles in 2.5-3 hours. We paddle down-wind and down-swell. The paddling isn’t typically very difficult but you will probably be a little tired when you get back to your car in the afternoon. This is why we recommend two-person (tandem) kayaks… it’s like twin engines! Children under 12 must kayak with an adult, and we try to avoid multiple children under 14 in the same kayak.

It takes us roughly 70 minutes to get to the island, depending on those pesky whale and dolphin sightings!

We highly recommend long pants and sweaters for the crossing. The Sunfish has a closed cabin, but the viewing is better outside. Dress in layers!

If you are prone to motion sickness, we suggest you take a medication 45 minutes prior to departure and avoid coffee, fatty foods that morning, and alcohol the night before.

Yes, but you must wait until you are done with ALL water activities.

Yes, bring something dry to put on after kayaking. We have changing areas and a hot shower to rinse off.

No, we cannot land on the island, this is a water adventure all day.

We must have 4 passengers to launch a trip.

We believe in transparency with how we operate. We are a family company that employs professional crew with decades of experience, and that is where most of the ticket price goes. Here is the breakdown of costs associated with each ticket. Operating the safest dive and expedition boats in the world is not an easy task, and it requires well paid professionals that have job security and can support their own families. If you believe in what we are doing we hope you’ll understand this!
