Mixed age groups
It was an amazing way to see the city and the entire Bay Area! We went at the end of May and the sky cleared up just in time for our 11:45 ride. We had 3 elder guest who only spoke Spanish and they had a great time listening to all the history through headphones. The sitting options everywhere were also key. One elder had a cane and got to go to the front to board. She was given extra time before the rest rushed behind her. All in all highly recommend this for mixed age groups.

San Francisco Dreamin’
This was a great introduction to San Francisco provided by our thoroughly knowledgeable and personable guide, Brian. Not only does he tell you about the history of each location, he gives you suggestions of other places to explore within that area. This tour was top notch. Even the snacks provided had a local flair - you get to sample some local snacks, not just a bag of chips.
Our transport van was clean and cozy and Brian was a safe driver. He answered many of our questions while also providing video or photos on a screen display so we all could see the details he was talking about. I learned a lot of things and honestly it made me want to come back to the city by the bay!

One of the best
Bryan was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. He was helpful with capturing some great photos so I can enjoy the memories for years to come. I was surprised that Bryan also took requests to stop at some of our favorite spots so we could get more of what we love and less of what we weren’t interested in. 5 stars, would definitely recommend!

Had a whale of a time!
Having a tour guide with strong scientific knowledge made the tour really impressive. Katie Duncan is clearly passionate about wildlife and her joy was infectious, she literally had us running from one side of the boat to the other to see everything! Priceless.

Great experience! Take Dramamine ahead of time!
Great experience! Highly recommend! Saw about 20 to 30 whales and a baby.❤️ Otter, LOTS of sea lions swimming together, pelicans! Beautiful sunshine!
Maddie and Isaiah were very helpful in their instructions, anssisting, and very friendly!
DON’T FORGET TO TAKE DRAMAMINE 30 min - 1 hour before disembarking.
The sea was quite rough but still a lot of fun (accept for the few who had seasickness😢). If you have difficulty walking or keeping good balance, you will not be able to get around on the boat on a windy day like ours.
Use the restroom before you go - one girl got super seasick after she was in the bathroom during the rough waves.
Remember ….. when observing the incredible nature, to consider the Lord who designed and created everything around you! Magnificent creation! But even more - a Magnificent God! Give thanks!!

Do NOT miss this opportunity
The staff were amazingly helpful and kind. I'm not techy. I couldn't get the GPS audio to work. I swung back around to request help. They were extremely apologetic and quickly identified and fixed the issue. The issue was I'm an idiot and didn't know where the volume toggle was located.
I highly recommend the 3 or 4 hour package. It takes you all over the City. It was fun, exciting, and absolutely worth it.

A must tour when visiting the Bay
This tour was amazing and Dave was an amazing tour guide! It wasn't easy considering there was Formula One traffic and crowd that day and Dave made sure we still see a lot of the iconic city views. And the vintage VW 1973 was a delight to ride around the city. The Haight-Ashbury stop was the main highlight and didn't disappoint us. Driving down crooked Lombard Street was a treat! Dave went above and beyond what we were hoping for and even changed our drop-off location so we could catch a great dinner at Fisherman's Wharf! This tour is a must when visiting the bay!

Wonderful for everyone
We had a wonderful time and I want others to know, if they have a hard time with steep hikes, they need to be prepared for that. Otherwise, the stories were wonderful. Our family included a party of eight including people who were 12, 16, 21, 26, and 53. All genders and ages enjoyed this.

The highlight of our visit to San Francisco!!!
Wonderful experience from the moment we started the tour! Randy was the ultimate tour guide, very informative and personable! He went above and beyond in making sure that our experience was memorable! It will definitely be a highlight of our visit to SF for many years! We will definitely visit the city again and book another tour, hoping with Randy as our guide!

It was an amazing...
It was an amazing experience! Sebastian and Magdalena were fantastic, super friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the marine life. They made the kayak tour so much fun, and we got to see beautiful views and wildlife along the way. Everything felt safe and well organized. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great outdoor adventure!

Awesome raft / rapids 1-3 level / great guides
Diesel was our guide and he was great; told us about the history of the area and really knew how to raft. He gave us instructions on what we needed to do and it was a fabulous experience. Highly recommend this rafting company. Sorry no pics cause couldn’t take phones or anything that could get wet and you do get wet! We wore water shoes and other folks were strap on sandals or sneakers, but you really do need to keep your toes covered because you have to stick your foot into the raft and you’ll get bruised if you wear flip-flops or some sort of sandal and flip-flops are not recommended for that reason; would suggest you wear a swimsuit in case you want to jump in ( they stopped several times on the trip in common water so people could jump in and swim to cool off ) or at least wear clothes that dry very easily and wear sunscreen if desired because the sun does beat down pretty well on a sunny day. They do have a photographer that takes pics if you want to purchase the pics on a thumb drive. You do need to leave all your belongings in the car or in the case of us we used an Uber and left our stuff in the office.. so just be prepared that you can’t take anything with you on the raft.
