A fun cruise
An awesome trip around Alcatraz and cruising under the Golden Gate Bridge. We enjoyed seeing the Pier 39 seals from the view of the boat. Also liked the information and stories as we passed by landmarks.

Great beginner lesson
My son wanted to try surfing. He loved the instructor, Jeff, who was very patient and thorough and took time to help individual students. He was also funny! They provided the board and a wetsuit that fit well. If we lived in the area my son would be back!

Great first time surfing experience!
My family and I had a great time with Marin Outdoor Adventures. We had a private surf lesson with Sandy and loved it so much we booked another lesson with her for the next day. Sandy gave the three of us (all beginners) personalized instruction and made us feel so comfortable on our boards. She was great!

Great experience. Price was good. Easy to book and the guides were knowledgable and friendly. Weather was nice and the scenes were amazing. We were able to get some beautiful pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the seals sunbathing on the docks. The historic buildings and shoreline views were also great to see.

Gary our instructor is amazing and super detailed in his coaching. He was methodical and after my first ever lesson I was able to ride the whitewaters wave multiple times! He provided all gear so all I needed to worry about was show up on time.

Amazing instructors! Amazing experience surfing for the first time! :)
I enjoyed my first lesson so so much! My instructor David was amazing! Then Al came in later to help coaching and they were both top notch teachers! Their energy was so amazing and they were super patient and supportive! There were two of us (students) and we both enjoyed the class so much! The day was perfect, not too many people, the waves were perfect for me to start with, and I just loved everything! Before coming I was scared I was not going to enjoy it, but David and Al made it enjoyable. Will definitely be coming back for my second lesson and even private lessons to get better at surfing :)
