Testimonials From Some Of Our Happy Paddlers

What a wonderful trip Mary Ann and I had with you recently! As you know, Mary Ann is a little bit uncomfortable going out on the water in anything less than a cruise ship, but she absolutely loved paddling with you in the outrigger and felt perfectly comfortable. In fact, so comfortable she shot some truly remarkable bird pictures.

Finding ourselves in the middle of hundreds of Avocets and Marbled Godwits swirling about us after being frightened by a Peregrine Falcon flying overhead was an experience we shall never forget. We have been fortunate in that we have had the opportunity to bird all over the world and I do not believe we have ever had a better birding experience. The fact that you can get so close to the birds without spooking them makes for a rare opportunity for any recreational birder.

The problem is that one is constantly in conflict over whether to put down the binoculars and pick up the camera or just watch and enjoy. You can be assured that we and our friends will be back any time we are in the area.

Please feel free to share this with anyone you wish and tell them to contact us directly if they want to hear a glowing recommendation (Danshe).

"Marc and Mike took my new daughter-in-law, Nathacha, son, Daniel, and myself out for two hours on October 8th. Let me tell you, these guys are the real deal! They have superior equipment and interpretive technique! We were as close to nature as you can get."

"Ahoy Outrigger Marc,

Thank you for a most enjoyable and memorable tour of Morro Bay! The tranquility and intimacy of floating up close and personal with the birds of the estuary was a peak experience. I felt completely at ease in your 17 outrigger. It seemed to glide smoothly and silently over the water. Your skillful guiding of the boat allowed me to delight in photographing the many beautiful birds we saw. I appreciated your keen spotting as well as the helpful tips you offered. Your intuitive timing and positioning of the boat made it comfortable for me to focus my camera. It was a total experience, full of wonder and peace, even without a camera. I hope my photos show you what a fabulous tour you gave me. Please share my words and my photos in any way you wish. . . and take me out on the bay again!"

You can get close to your subjects and shoot from a safe, stable, dry, and relatively high platform. Marc knows the bay and the local nature and is an accomplished paddler and photographer. He will position you and steady the boat while you concentrate on your photography. There is no other service like this in the area." Mike Baird
