Our tour guide Adam was amazing, took great pictures, and was very knowledgeable about the wildlife. The whole family had a great time and we cant recommend this tour enough!Posted on Google Jennifer FehringMay 7, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a great experience! They were super flexible and accommodating. We were interested in taking pictures of puffins and they made sure we prioritized seeing them :) Our guide, Dave was also so friendly and knowledgeable.Posted on Google Susan CarrMay 7, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our guide, Adam Rumack, was outstanding. We hiked the Samuel Boardman corridor. He tailored the hike to fit our interests and hiking abilities. He has an obvious passion for what he does and is extremely knowledgeable about local landscape, vegetation and history.Posted on Google Carole DebordMay 6, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful experience! My first time on the ocean in a kayak. Really enjoyed the feeling when swells lifted, turned, & lowered the boat. No seal pups, but did see three adults. One seemed to move toward us a bit and float there for a while checking us out. :) LOTS of seabirds, and an occupied Osprey nest, with another adult fishing further along. Could have happily stayed out there all day! My guide, Adam, was perfect. He gave me the full instruction and safety talk, then was there lifting and steadying my kayak as needed throughout. I happily discovered during the paddle that he's a truly funny, good, and decent human being - I'd be happy to paddle with him again. :) The owner, Dave, is a nice guy too. I tortured him with multiple phone calls and questions, and he remained friendly & helpful throughout. Overall, I definitely recommend this tour company!Posted on Google Nichole KwaakMay 2, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really great time! Dave is super nice and knowledgeable, enjoyed learning a lot about the ecosystem and history of the area! Highly recommend this tour, just getting to ride on the boat was a great time! Thank you!Posted on Google Bernice WermuthOctober 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time with South Coast! Getting on the boat and into the water was a experience in itself! The owner was very nice and informative. He was just excited as we were when we saw the Grey Whales. My only complaint is that i think the trip should be longer like 2 hours. We would go again if we come back to this area!Posted on Google Craig AnsbaughSeptember 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave went the extra mile to make sure our tour was incredible! We will certainly book with SCT again and have already recommended them to others!
