Review of: Cathedral Cove Classic Kayaking Tour
We did the remote coast tour - two and a half hours out on the water exploring caves and cliffs only accessible from the water. It was amazing. Our guide coached us through safely navigating our kayaks through tunnels and caves which added to the adventure.

My partner and I had a great time kayaking with out with our guide, Hayden. We had some choppy water and there was some sea sickness in our group, but Hayden made extra sure that everyone was okay.
