Ocean and weather conditions vary on a day-to-day basis. Some days are calmer, while others are a bit more challenging. At times, it can be foggy and even a little windy. Not all of the arches are doable every day, but don’t worry, there are so many that it’s rare to leave empty-handed. No two trips are the same, and each day presents its unique challenges and beauty; it’s all part of the adventure!

Trips must be canceled 48 hours in advance to receive a refund.
Sometimes, we need to cancel our trips due to unsafe paddling conditions. If this is the case, we will notify you and issue a full refund.
All groups must make reservations at least a day in advance. Trips begin at 8 am at the Secret Beach Trailhead located just off HWY 101 in the Samuel Boardman Scenic Corridor. Look for our white trailer and yellow boats in the parking lot.
NOTE: This trip can be physically challenging for some, as it requires hiking with fully inflatable kayaks up and down a semi-steep, rocky trail. Single kayaks are typically carried over the shoulder and weigh approximately 30 lbs. Two people carry tandem kayaks and weigh approximately 41 lbs. If you would still like to participate in this trip but are unsure about this portion, don’t worry. We got you! For just $25, we can get your boat to the beach and back for you.
