loved the experience!
we did the 11 am. "1.5h Elkhorn Slough Guided Tour" and our guide was John. everything went smooth from the first minute to the last!
to start off, there were wetsuits, pants, and jackets available for free, which was very nice. at all the other kayaking places I've been, I've only ever been offered the life jacket, and that's all, but Monterey Nay Kayaks went beyond the requirements and also offered something for our comfort. I get cold very easily, and the wetsuits were just perfect.
we saw about 30 otters total, 2 seals in the water, and more on the beach, lots of pelicans, and other small birds. our dream to see otters came true!
John was also very knowledgeable and attentive. Good luck to him with his future studies!!

We will be coming back 🙂

Today we went on a Elkhorn slough guided kayak tour for an hour and a half on a 3 pm slot. The best time to actually kayak as there were just few kayakers out. We were guided by Brandon, this young and super knowledgeable guy who made the kayaking so much meaningful. My son and I truly enjoyed the kayak and it’s because of the fun facts Brandon had shared with us about all the sea animals we encountered today. We have seen tons of sea otters both active and sleeping and some different kinds of birds. Heron for one and lots of seagulls. Thank you Brandon for the fun kayaking tour. We definitely recommend Monterey Kayaks and look for Brandon!

Brandon was amazing and gave us such a precious tour of the slough. He took really good care of my family visiting from France while giving us many facts about the marine biology thanks to his knowledge. I also love that he knew how to navigate the slough while not disturbing the wildlife. 10/10!!

A mesmerizing experience.

We saw families of otters, pelicans, seals, and so much wildlife while kayaking!

To Kayak with the otters seemed like an outlandish idea but it was amazing. If the sun is out and the current isn't too much - you'll have the best time possible. Though I don't know if the otters come out when it's sunny. ?

A must do.

Wonderful place to rent kayaks and go out on an adventure to see the local marine wildlife. The kayak rental provides the kayak, plus life jacket and wet suits or rain gear depending on preference. The gift shop had lots of extras life phones protectors, water shoes, etc plus stuffed for the kiddos. The employees were kind and helpful explaining how to use all the gear and the best routes for travel. They also emphasize keeping wildlife protection. We had the best time, definite highlight of our trip! Saw tons of otters, seals, sea lions and birds. Will definitely be back again!

Really cool experience. We had a perfect condition, very calm, and great time of the day to kayak.
Our tour started at 9am and had our own tour guide, Carlton, who was super nice and knowledgeable on everything. He took us around to see different sea animals, like birds and also kept our distance from them so we don’t disturb their natural environment. Very respectful and knowledgeable. We had a great time with him. Highly recommended.

We saw so much wildlife and sooo many sea otters, which was exactly what we wanted! We did the 2.5 hour guided 10AM tour, though even if you just rented kayaks through them I think you would have a great chance to see so much wildlife! It does stink that you have to pay for parking here as they don’t have their own lot or parking spots. They do have their own bathrooms which is nice. They give you all the gear you could need which is great! Very nice and competent staff! Danny was a great guide!
