  • The ocean moves to a rhythm of its own, with conditions shifting day to day alongside the tides. Some days are calm, while others bring wind, swell, or fog. Waves are almost always present, and not every arch is accessible at times. Each day reveals the coast differently.

  • Trips must be canceled at least 48 hours in advance to receive a full refund.

    In rare cases, trips may be canceled due to unsafe paddling conditions. If this happens, you will be notified and issued a full refund.

  • Children must weigh at least 60lbs and paddle in a tandem kayak with an adult. This experience takes place in dynamic coastal conditions and requires comfort on the water and the ability to follow instructions.

    We provide youth-sized wetsuits, booties, and life jackets for children who meet the minimum weight requirement.

  • For safety and comfort with our provided equipment, participants must meet the following requirements:

    • Max Weight: 250lbs (113kg)

    • Max Height: 6’6 (198cm)

    • Ability to hike uneven terrain and paddle continuously for extended periods.

Operations are closed for the winter months. We will be re-opening April 2026. Gift Cards and Pre-Season bookings are available for purchase.

All trips require reservations by 8 pm the day prior. Tours begin in the morning at the Secret Beach Trailhead located just off HWY 101 in the Samuel H. Boardman Scenic Corridor, and typically last around three hours. Private tours are available with custom start times and durations. Look for our white trailer and yellow boats in the parking lot.

We provide everything you need — kayaks, paddles, wetsuits, booties, life jackets, and a guide. Prior kayaking experience is strongly recommended to ensure a safe and rewarding adventure.

NOTE: This trip can be physically challenging for some, as it requires hiking with inflatable kayaks up to 40 lbs, down a steep, rocky trail. For added convenience, we offer an assisted hike down option—let us transport your boat to and from the beach for just $25 per boat.
