We provide exclusive state permits to land near the Captain Cook Monument which you will visit and snorkel from the pier.

Paddlers age 10-65 are welcome, but be aware the paddle across the bay is 35 minutes of strenuous paddling & guides set a brisk pace. Kayakers frequently capsize & a significant physical effort is required to right the kayak and complete a push-up to reenter the kayak.
