Reviews of Kayak Connection
"Such a fun day kayaking. I was nervous since I've never kayaked before and thought this would be the perfect place to start. The team at Kayak Connection was so helpful and knowledgeable, made it so easy. I'II definitely be back!"
"The staff on duty were nice and accommodating!! We saw some sea lions and got to observe harbor life! Such a cool experience, would definitely recommend for anyone visiting the Santa Cruz area!!"
"I went kayaking for the first time and what better place to experience it at than at Kayak Connection! Mac was very helpful in setting us up and letting us know what to expect and Reece helped us down to the dock and was extremely helpful in helping us pick out life vests and getting us in the kayaks. It also wasn’t super pricey and very affordable and I enjoyed my time! I will definitely be going back!"
"We went on the bioluminescent tour and it was absolutely worth it. They provided waterproof jacket and splash guard which I was grateful to have, or else I would've froze to death. Our tour guides Izzie and Logan were wonderful, so patient, knowledgeable and fun! We saw otters, seals, and the coolest of all, bioluminescent planktons! We were lucky it was very active , saw sparkles and glow when we agitated the water, it was beautiful!"
"I had such a great experience paddleboarding with Kayak Connection. In addition to the friendly and knowledgeable staff, they have really nice SUP boards to rent. The location is cool because you can opt for a mellow time cruising in the harbor or go out of the harbor for a little more adventure. I will definitely go back the next time I am in Santa Cruz."
