We went to HMB on Sunday morning and just remembered I have a Groupon. I went there asked if I can use for kayaking. The staff told me I should have reservation to use the coupon but he let me to use. We spent an hour on the harbor so relax. Great experience and highly recommend.

Had an absolutely fantastic time kayaking with Half Moon Bay Kayak Company! This was easily a 5-star experience from start to finish.

What truly sets them apart is their incredible expertise. The guides aren't just knowledgeable about the equipment and safety procedures; they have a deep understanding of the local waters, tides, and wildlife. They shared fascinating insights about the harbor and pointed out seals and birds, making the trip both fun and educational. We felt completely safe and confident in their capable hands.

Beyond their knowledge, the entire team radiated a genuinely positive attitude. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about kayaking and ensuring guests have a great time. Their energy was infectious and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The highlight for me was the coaching on techniques. Our guide didn't just send us off; they took the time to offer personalized tips on paddling strokes, maneuvering, and how to handle the kayak efficiently. Whether you're a nervous beginner or looking to refine your skills, their gentle, clear, and encouraging instruction makes a real difference. I definitely felt more confident and capable on the water by the end of our trip thanks to their guidance.

If you're looking for a kayaking experience in Half Moon Bay, look no further. The combination of expert guidance, a wonderfully positive team, and excellent technique coaching makes Half Moon Bay Kayak Company the absolute best choice. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back

Awesome tour experience for my school group. Knowledgeable and experienced guide, quality gear for everyone and lightweight, perfectly maintained boats that skimmed over the waves.
We saw baby seals! (At a safe distance to protect the wildlife, of course).
They do tours and rentals - I can't wait to come back and explore with my family!

My partner reserved a kayak rental for my birthday here and we had the best time!

Staff was very friendly and informative. It was both our first time kayaking and our host provided us with all the information we needed to get out on the waters with confidence.

They provide wind suits and wetsuits if needed.

Thank you for having us and letting us experience this "life changing" experience 😅.

PS: they have a super chill dog named Dozer hanging out with the crew 🫡

great place. great employees. seems when you're by the ocean its easily good vibes all day everyday? even the company dog happily plays fetch. I have my kayak stored here. sometimes we'll rent an extra life vest and I think they sell their old gear? I read from another reviewer that they offer classes I may look into. kayak life
