We were happy just to get out on the water and explore, but were lucky enough to witness a wealth of beautiful sea creatures. We saw humpback whales, then a playful pod of Harbour Popoise put on an amazing show. The grand finale was a pod of majestic orcas that I'll never forget. We went on a rainy cooler day and we had the best time. The boat ride alone was super fun and i had a perma smile the whole time. You can really tell that Mike and Sarah have a passion for sharing this experience with others. They also emailed us pics from our adventure. Thanks again Mike and Sarah and we hope to see you soon.

Larry is an excellent teaching, patient, corrects mistakes so you don't learn it improperly and passionate about fly fishing. I'm shocked at how many skills go into this. I'm totally hooked (okay, pun intended). Our trip went down the beautiful Hoh River which I highly recommend! Can't say enough and hope I can come back and keep learning! Fantastic!

Nick was also more than willing to share information about bank fishing spots in the Forks area. I'm looking forward to fishing with them again.

We opted to order sandwich and sushi platters from Thriftys to be delivered to the boat before we arrived. Turned out well, the staff kept them chilled for us and we all met on the dock before taking off. Great drinks (can't bring your own), but the Captain's "Purple Slurpee" is amazing! Reasonable prices, cheaper than most bars. Bring your own music! CDs are your best bet. I made 3 and had them on rotation for the 3 hour party cruise. Can't wait to go again!

Federico took us to several beautiful spots around the bay, including one where we spotted seals lounging and even a bald eagle perched nearby. Later, we were lucky enough to see a sea lion surface right beside us - such a cool moment! We happened to be the only two on the tour, which made the experience feel even more special. Federico was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable, attentive, and easygoing, with a great sense of humor. He kept a comfortable pace throughout and made sure we felt warm, safe, and supported the entire time. Peaceful water (well, we were lucky for that!), incredible wildlife, and a guide who really cares - what more could you ask for? The boats we were in were high quality and the shop is top tier. The people who work at this organization are extremely skilled kayakers who are dedicated to helping the kayak community. The shop has kayak skills courses as well and is dedicated to promoting excellent kayaking. If you're considering a kayak tour in the area or upping your kayak skills, I can't recommend Ocean River Sports enough.

We ended up doing a two hour rental with a tandem kayak from Ocean River Adventures. Getting there was a short ten minute walk from our hotel. The entire rental process was very quick and easy and their rental equipment is very good. It was a good value for the equipment and time we got to use the kayak. The kayak tracked beautifully in the water and we had a wonderful time cruising around the harbor for a couple hours. We even had a seal that popped its head out of the water about 20 feet in front of us! Lee (I believe he is the owner) and Wesley were a delight to deal with. I would highly recommend this company.

It was a beautiful day, the river floated us alongside lovely trees and interesting rock formations, past some swifter waters, many channels, but nothing hair-raising, which was just right for us. Greg is knowledgeable and gave us an interesting picture of the river as a changing living things, which he knows as hunter, fishing guide and raft captain. He loves the river and had lots of good stories and was happy to stay quiet when we just wanted to listen. We didn't get wet, but we did wish we had worn our long underwear and had brought some extra layers as the wind on the river was strong in places. We look forward to another float int he future.
