I am handicapped and Marcus helped me get in and out of kayak. I could not have done it without his help

Fantastic morning kayaking with my wife!!! Our guide, Katie, was knowledgable and fun. We felt so amazed to be so close to harbor seals, star fish, osprey and much more. I appreciated the wetsuit and boots. The kayaks were easy to use and very stable. I even had the joy or riding a wave.

Katie our guide was VERY knowledgable about the animals, birds and the River. She was also very patient with us novice Kayakers. Definitely worth it!

Had a great time in kayaking the Chetco River with a very knowledgeable and fun guide. We are in our 60's and 70's and more or less beginner kayakers. We absolutely loved our guide who was very knowledgeable about the Chetco River history as well as helping my husband adjust the kayak for his back issues. While the day was windy it was not an issue for us in our double kayak. Enjoyed the wildlife along the way...deer, heron...as well as the harbor seal who followed us the entire trip. Highly recommend this tour and would do it again!

Nicholas did a great job! He was very informative and made sure we had a good fit on our PDFs. I plan to join South Coast Tours again next year for an all day coastal adventure

Calm, relaxing kayak up Chetco River. Sight many birds, sealions and fish jumping out of water. Guide really cool guy. Mellow, patient and easy to talk too. Helped me to feel comfortable - no rush and did not mind when I accidently bumped his kayak at times. Very knowledgeable of the local area, animals, fauna, river conditions and whiskey bars.
Highly recommend for beginners.
Also, my doggie joined me. She was nervous but did not jump out of kayak - tx god!!!!

Nicholas was very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora of the region. He made us feel safe and we had a beautiful kayak outing. We saw many cute harbor seals, along with snowy egrets, cormorants, seagulls, minnows, ducks and a great blue heron. The 12 foot kayaks were nice with a rudder to steer by using your feet. I highly recommend this trip, but keep in mind it is only 2 hours.

It was so awesome! The guide was very nice and super helpful, it was our first time kayaking and he was super patient. The river is beautiful and it was so relaxing. Totally worth it id you’ve been thinking about going

This company was great. They took out info online and kept a good social distance. The equipment had been sanitized and ready for us when we arrived after a brief Instruction we were on the water. The equipment was clean and did not smell Moldy. The kayaks were newer and had many seat and leg adjustments for all different body types. The river was calm and there are places to easily get out the kayaks and take a dip along the river. It was a perfect two hours.
