    2. Guided kayak tour in Huntington Harbour

    5.0· 1 reviews· 1.5 hours

    Ninety-minute tour through Huntington Harbour's canals, perfect for families and beginners, featuring local wildlife and insights into the area's history.

    The tour around the harbor was really laid-back. Our guide Tom, a local resident, was enjoyable to converse with. He shared the harbor's history, explaining its changes over his 35 years there, pointed out interesting houses, and talked about some of the yachts we encountered. I highly recommend it for a relaxed few hours or as a pleasant way to soak up the sun.Warren_J
