The Blue O. Kayaking Difference!

Kayaks are stored on heavy duty racks on top of the boat giving you uncluttered room to move around.

The Sunfish is equipped with a easy on and off kayak step so it is easy for you to get in and out of your Kayak from the Sunfish boat.

We drop you off directly at the kayaking spot, no need to get off on land and hike to a beach spot to take off. Moreover, we pick you up at the kayaking end point saving you time and allowing you to explore more of the coast line as you do not need to back track = more bang for your buck!

* $112.50 per person is based on 2 people booking the 2 for 1 special together.
