    Does what it says on the tin
    Hired an electric bike. Booking and collection very straight forward. Staff were efficient and informative. 17 mile drive is beautiful, the shop is right on the route in Cannery Row. Bikes work well.

    Great riding experience
    I rented an electric bike for half day and thoroughly enjoyed it. I rode for about 3 hours total and wasn't even tired. The adjustable pedal assist was great. They even give you a cable and lock if you want to stop and eat or shop on your ride. And there are so many great scenic places to ride. I highly recommend a least a half day ride.

    Wonderful E-Bike Experience
    We had a great time renting e-bikes and riding the gorgeous Monterey-Pacific Grove coastal trail. This convenient rental location near Fisherman’s Wharf has friendly efficient staff and high quality e-bikes. We reserved and prepaid a few weeks ahead and the bikes were all set when we arrived. We were given a safety briefing and off we went. E-bikes are fantastic! You can pedal as much as you like.

    Great place to rent e-bikes!
    Rented e-bikes for 2 hours. Did reservation online. Very easy to do. Bikes are easy and fun to ride. The person who checked us in explained how to use the bikes clearly and simply. We had no issues. Returning them after we were done was simple and easy, too. The price to rent them was reasonable. We went during the week when there weren’t as many people in town. I am sure weekends are much more crowded. We come to Monterey every summer, so this activity is definitely on our list! We will definitely book our bikes from here!

    Private Group Guided Kayak Tour is a must!
    We did the private group guided kayak tour through the bay with MJ as our guide. She was awesome! The bay was beautiful! And we saw so many birds and animals. The staff was great - from booking by phone with Kyle, to Milo helping us in/out of the kayaks, and MJ being full of joy, patience, and information!

    Great value!
    We did a kayak tour as a family, We had two kayaks with my husband, myself and our two children. Our tour guide was Jan! She was fantastic! The entire experience was amazing! My children, 6 and 8 years old had a great time! The team at the shop were all terrific too! Miles and Milo helped us with the kids and helped to locate a missing sweatshirt! Overall this place is great and an amazing value! I told the owner he could easily charge $100 more and people would come and pay! This is a great locally owned business, the staff is terrific!

    Faulty equipment poses high risk
    While I was riding the electric assist bicycle, I enjoyed the experience very much. Near the end of the trip, the front wheel of the bicycle I was riding came off because the quick-release came undone. Fortunately I was walking the bicycle across a crosswalk when that happened. If I had been riding it downhill at 15-20 mph, it would not have been a happy ending. I am still traumatized by the experience. I will rent from this company again.

    Must do in Monterey Bay
    Amazing trip with Jane, she was so knowledgeable, friendly and took us to the best spots. We saw sea otters, seals, sea lions and lots of sea birds. Great to do if you have the time and stamina.

    Amazing trip kayaking amongst the wildlife
    We booked a last minute family kayaking trip. On previous visits to Monterey, I had always wanted to kayak amongst the kelp and wildlife. This trip was fantastic! Jan was such a knowledgeable guide. Luckily, the water was calm so our trip was leisurely. We saw otter moms and their pups, tons of sea lions and harbor seals and lots of sea birds. From booking to gearing up, everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this as seeing the animals from the water is such a different experience when compared to watching from the shore.

    Wonderful Family Adventure
    Whether you are a novice and need to be taught or an old hand, this is THE WAY to see the otters in their natural habitat. Our grandkids plead to go back for more. The staff is friendly, safety-conscious and know their stuff.

    A great way to actively experience Monterey
    My husband said it was the best vacation experience he’s ever had. A great way to see the beautiful coast, in an active way, with stops along the way.

    Marine Wildlife in their Habitat
    My 13 yr. old daughter and I booked a 2 hour kayaking tour on July 6, 2022 from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm. The offices are located directly on Cannery Row just off the Monterey Bike & Walking paved trail. We arrived wearing a swim suit, t-shirt and water shoes. They have 3 changing booths to change clothes and have cubbies to store your shoes/flip flops, towel etc. A bathroom is also on the premises. They will give you a "Dry Bag" to put your cell phone, wallet etc. if you wish to bring it on the kayak tour. I used a dry bag to store my cell phone. You also have the option to leave valuables with an associate behind the desk. Our guide (older female) greeted us and we each got a life vest and a paddle and headed directly to the beach which is about a 1 minute walk. They gave us brief instructions on how to use the paddles, which is important. We each had a kayak and they helped us into the water and away we went. We kayaked towards Cannery Row and the Monterey Aquarium through the kelp beds. We saw some seals and many ocean otters and their little ones playing and enjoying the ocean. We also saw a variety of birds, but usually cormorants and pelicans. We then paddled towards Fisherman's Wharf to see some seals basking on the rocks as well as a playful group of otters. No, we didn't see any whales, sharks or Orcas on the tour. Our guide was full of information about the Bay and marine life that we were seeing. We then made our way back to the beach to end our kayaking tour. Our tour was great and we saw a variety of marine wildlife in their natural habitat, which is priceless. I highly recommend doing a kayak tour with Adventures by Sea. TIP - I know many people like to take pictures with their cell phone but I don't recommend it. You really need to keep both hands on the paddles and pay attention to the ocean and trying to take pictures while on a moving kayak on the ocean is not a good combination. As they say, don't take anytyhing with you that you can't afford to lose or get wet.

    Definitely recommend for kayaking
    I booked a guided kayak trip last minute for my 15 year old daughter and her friend that was traveling with us from Texas. Everyone was friendly and efficient, and setting out on the kayaks from the little beach across the street was convenient. The girls had a great time, seeing otters, harbor seals and sea lions.

    Kayaking with sea otters
    Wonderful staff! The bay was just right for a lovely kayak. SEA OTTERS! SEALS! And lots of both to watch. Staff advised on the locations and reviewed guidelines to ensure safety for us and the wildlife.

    Great!
    Took out the Ebikes and loved them, but be careful, it's crowded out there. The staff is wonderful and the owners are terrific.

This was by far one of the best parts of our trip! If you can request Miles, do it! He was so helpful, so full of awesome information about all the ocean life we’d see along the way and we enjoyed every minute of it! 10/10! Tip your guide they deserve it!

What an incredible day out with the corporate team! Everyone had a blast and was able to fully enjoy the bay. Anne was our guide and knew everything about the bay and the wildlife. She made sure we had fun and kept our distance from bothering any of the beautiful wildlife. It was one of the highlights of the corporate meeting.

Had a great time paddling in the bay! My son and I selected single, unguided kayak rentals and really enjoyed traversing the bay and marina at our own pace.

This was definitely a highlight of my visit to Monterey. Seeing the otters and wildlife up close and in their natural habitats was really neat.

The staff and our tour guide were friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable before going out. Appreciated that they provided waterproof pants and jackets too. Definitely a memorable experience and would highly recommend!
