Bill was an amazing tour guide! We set out early this morning, and paddling through the fog was a magical experience. Bill had all the gear (shortie wetsuits, booties, life vests, helmets) to make for a fun and comfortable experience. We saw thousands of pelicans and a ton of sea otters and even some beautiful spotted harbor seals right up close. Paddling in and around the caves was awesome - it provided just enough of a challenge to make it exciting without ever feeling unsafe. Can’t wait to get out there and paddle again with Bill sometime soon!

A fun stop on a Sunday afternoon. It has everything you never knew you needed. The owner Bill is a friendly character, ready to make a deal. I found some great yard art. Take your time and look around. Then take a phot at the big mermaid painted rock.

We came from Texas, Wisconsin and California on a family trip. Bill and his teammate Matt were great. Bill explained everything thoroughly and took us on a wonderful adventure. A couple of us have lake and river experience but none of us had ocean kayaking experience. We were safe, had a few little thrills, and they showed us otters and seals. My whole family loved it! My oldest son was slightly disappointed because he had to use a fishing kayak that was more plodding and slow, he is a very athletic, adventurous young man and felt held back...other than that small flaw, he also loved it! We would absolutely return and recommend. Bill also took the time to get pictures of our group, very considerate!

I don’t know if we could have had a better experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, took us out at the perfect time of day, and knew the waters like the back of his hand. We felt safe and comfortable as newbies to kayaking. We had a great mix of adventure, learning interesting facts about the area and sea life, and being able to peacefully enjoy our time on the water. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Had an amazing time! Pismo Beach Surf Shop has it all. The shop is eclectic, the owner is extremely knowledgeable. We felt safe under his watch and was led on a beautiful adventure. Caves, whales, sea otters, couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
