“The tour guide Carrie was great. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour group was very small, so we each could ask questions along the way and get them answered. The timing at each location was great and Carrie determined it would be best to visit haystack rock after lunch due to the tide timing. We were all glad she made that call because we got to experience the tide pools near the base of haystack and gained additional knowledge. This was definitely worth the money and time.”
