"Noah's approach was fantastic!! He was awesome with my grandsons and helped them feel competent and confident as first time kayakers!! Noah was patient and knowledgeable and answered our numerous questions about kayaks and tides and natural habitat in the area. We would definitely choose another experience with Noah!!" - Sheila

"Our family really enjoyed the kayaking trip on Whidbey Island with Noah. Noah taught us the basics of kayaking, took us on a scenic tour in the water and gave us a history lesson on the water and land around us. He also accommodated/entertained my 4 year old. It was so much more than we expected! Noah was a wonderful guide and we can’t wait to return for another tour with him. Thank you again Noah!" - Nichole & Kamesh

"Great experience for beginners and families with young kids. Noah’s communication was excellent before we arrived, so we were well prepared. We felt very welcomed and at ease upon arrival and during the whole experience. Noah’s instructions were very clear and safety a priority. We enjoyed the scenic kayaking along the south tip of the island and listening to Noah’s stories and wealth of knowledge of the area. It’s such a magical way to experience Whidbey Island from the water. The only thing that could have bettered the experience is seeing a whale or seal. Highly recommend this experience." - Zoe

"Our trip with Noah was amazing! We would do this again in a heartbeat. He provided everything we needed and was an excellent guide and expert on kayaking and the region. We also really appreciated how great he was with our 10 year old son and putting him at ease. Noah has a warm personality and was very kind. We would recommend Noah to anyone in the area looking for something new and fun to try or are traveling to the area." - Karrin

"This experience exceeded all of my expectations. The location is within walking distance from the ferry terminal, our host Noah is phenomenal, very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is absolutely positive vibes! I took my 6yr old daughter and 14 years old son and they really enjoyed the educational and kayaking experience which was new for them both. I will certainly book Noah's Saratoga kayak adventure (it's longer) to explore further." - Shauno

"Wife and I took our 3 kids (7,11,14) for my sons birthday. Divided into 3 boats and everyone was able to successfully complete the trip. It’s a nice 1.5 ish paddle towards the south part of the island. Noah is a great story teller and shared great history and science of the area. We also saw some great wild life including 2 seals and lots a fish jumping as the sun set. The kids really enjoyed the experience. We would definitely do it again." - JR

"Noah is so friendly and welcoming. He gave great instructions for this first-timer, not too complicated but very thorough. The weather was perfect for this but is was definitely Noah that made it absolutely perfection!" - Angela

"Excellent location, literally walking distance (.3 mi) from the ferry exit. Beautiful northwest beach scenery, full of spitting clams and scurrying crabs, and charming unique cottages. Noah has a lot of knowledge of the geology of the local area, and stories of the settlers and first peoples. All of that for not much more then you could rent a sea kayak on your own for. He also provides some very useful tips for setting up your kayak to maximize ergonomics. Thanks Noah" - Timothy

"Noah not only made sure we and our kids were safe, but he entertained all of us with his knowledge of Whidbey. He grabbed a jellyfish straight out of the water and let the kids feel it…they were mesmerized! We saw porpoises and enjoyed literally everything about our trip. He even made a special private tour for us since we couldn’t go during the day. Highly recommend! Thanks, Noah for a memory that will last a lifetime." - Melynda

"I booked this adventure for my husband, who would like to learn to kayak. His experience with Noah was excellent. The friendly short training at the water's edge was just what he needed. Noah provided a fun adventure on Saratoga Passage - just enough time and plenty of safety. My husband said he would happily do this again." - Sharon

"This just could not have been a better day. I'm from the Olympic Peninsula and I kayak. I just wanted an excuse to be on the water. I'm so excited to have gone on a tour with Noah, and I will absolutely be back. Noah is a patient and gentle instructor. His relaxed and charming way of speaking made me feel comfortable and secure even when i fumbled a bit. His knowledge in marine life, geology, and history kept my mouth agape at all the things I now know I didn't know, or never noticed. We saw lots of wild life including a close encounter with one of many harbor seals, and got a different view of our local ferry system. There is no way I'm not coming back to learn even more about my ever changing landscape in the Pacific Northwest" - Sevi

"We had so much fun with Noah! We took our three kids and he was patient but also energetic and super engaging. We had to reschedule because of weather (it’s of course unpredictable) but Noah communicated immediately and helped us find another day/time with hopes of better weather and so glad we trusted. 🙂 I would highly recommend adding this to your itinerary if you’re in the area. We had a blast, learned a bit about nature/history and felt comfortable with Noah the whole time!" - Stacy

"Our kayaking experience with Noah was fantastic! He is passionate and very knowledgeable about the area where we paddled, and his instructions were clear and safety conscious. We loved every minute!" - Linda

"Honestly very great experience! I would recommend to anyone that wants to go out on the water! Noah is a great respectful funny guy! Who likes to joke around but also likes to talk about geographical features and structures as well as science! I personally had a-lot of connections with the guy! And he’s had his experience on the ocean which he will talk to you about when you book a reservation! So if i have to rate this experience it would be a 1000/10! Also he accommodated us very well & was very quick on responding!" - Roberto

"Noah had us at hello. Very personable. Great smile. You can tell he loves his job . He took good care of us, making sure we understand how to operate the boat and how to be safe. You definitely feel tired from the workout. Make sure you've got the strength to roll that kayak.:-).Noah was full of trivia and historical information about the area. We discovery on top of this fun that he knew my son ..What a wonderful small world we live in.. Do yourself a favor and book with Noah. We had a perfect day." - Romona

"Noah is a very competent guide, that provides confidence that his guests are in good hands. He is also very personable and a good hearted story teller. We saw many geological phenomena that he was able to place within an interesting historical context, and the wildlife we witnessed was truly exceptional. I totally recommend the experience." - Curtis

"This tour is perfect for young kids (or anyone really!) who are just starting out and ready to learn paddling tandem with the host or another adult. My 2 young boys took to Noah right away and he was fabulous with their constant questions and interruptions. His passion for the sea and the surrounding geology and history was evident in his tour- and the kayaking was amazing too!! Noah's communication was excellent and we felt very safe with his guidance. I highly recommend this tour to learn and enjoy a beautiful experience kayaking in a place rich with history and life lessons everywhere you look. Noah is a fun, wise and engaging host!" - Marla

"Noah has an amazing depth of knowledge of the area and the geological history of the Puget Sound that he shares during the trip. He made our family of novice kayaking very enjoyable. We felt confident and comfortable with him as our guide. We saw a playful seal, jumping fish, herons, and eagles too. Stunning setting with the mountains and ferry in the distance as well. Definitely a great experience!" - Anne

"On arrival Noah greeted us and as we readied for our kayak adventure, he enlightened us with the geology of the island. Once on our way, he continued to share his knowledge of the history of the island while pointing out the seals and birds that accompanied us on our tour. It was a delightful 2-hour paddle along the shore that was perfect for beginners and those refreshing their kayaking skills. Noah was a great host and guide. A bonus was the photos he took and sent to us to remind us of a very fun day!" - William

"Noah was the best tour guide ever! He is so knowledgeable about the area and excited to share all the cool facts and tidbits! I learned so much about puget sound and glaciers! Whidbey is an astoundingly scenic region with lots of breath taking views. There's something magical about pacific north beaches that I can't explain. Kayaking was made so easy with his instructions! He also provided us with the perfect drive route to the north end of the Island. Honestly this was the best experience I could ask for. Would go again 200%" - Kendra

"Noah is an excellent host and we had a fantastic time with our girls, ages 5 and 8. We learned so much about the island and its sealife. Touching a starfish was a highlight! The trip was so much fun and would highly recommend for families!" - Nichole

"Noah had so many great stories for us! He helped us spot a bald Eagle, a lions mane jellyfish, crabs, clams, and fascinating geological features. A great treasure trove of local trivia. I highly recommend it, especially for beginners. As more experienced kayakers, it was still quite enjoyable. We got so lucky with perfect weather, so thanks, Noah, for ordering that up for us. ;-)" - Beverly

"Noah was a great guide. Not only giving a great instruction how to operate a tandem kayak but also gave us so much about surrounding nature, history, and stories. We spotted jumping fish and a seal during the tour." - Tomoe

"Such a fun experience! Noah is a great guide. Went with my parents who had never kayaked before and Noah explained this well and made them both feel so comfortable." - Becca

"Noah was very patient with us amateurs and our 4 yo son. Thankfully he hilariously explained in advance that couples usually argue so we managed to avoid the common traps, were more understanding and had greater patience and trust with each other. Beautiful day on the water and was great to hear about the native history in the area." - K

"Wow!! Noah’s Beginner Kayak trip was amazing! I took 2 of my daughters with me and all 3 of us learned so much about kayaking and the beautiful area in general. The kayaks fit all sizes and Noah is a patient, funny teacher. Just book it! We walked on the Mukilteo ferry for $17 RT for 3, walked the 5 mins to his house and we were there. Great 2hrs that goes by very fast. We wore casual clothes like shorts and leggings, sandals or went barefoot in the kayak. Noah really has everything else you’ll need. All 3 of want to go back very soon!" - Kathryn
