Kayak Tillamook County is a kayaking guide service that provides year-round flat-water tours on lakes, bays, rivers and sloughs throughout the North Oregon Coast.
Beautiful setting for a trip on the water. I took the Three Graces tour out of Garibaldi. The waters were pretty calm that day, making for a slow gentle kayak trip. I think I was preparing for good old ruff ocean kayaking. Overall, this company is well organized, we had a great guide and a nice size group of 8 people. I would recommend these folks anytime.
I was visiting the OR coast in mid-May w/ a friend who had never kayaked, and I'm a novice myself. We chose this guided paddle as a good way to introduce my friend to the experience, and it was a good choice. As it happened, it was just the 2 of us and our "handler," Josh. It was as I expected - and became a time to relax and enjoy a beautiful afternoon. We did see a lot of beaver activity - pups and one mama beaver paddling about, and because we were so quiet - I think - they didn't shy away.
We recently kayaked with Kayak Tillamook. They were able to add the Tour we wanted, The Three Graces, out of Garibaldi. It was a pretty and mellow tour, we enjoyed talking and learning from our Guide Josh, he was the perfect combination of competent and laid back for us. We'll definitely book another trip when we get back to the Coast again and highly recommend them.
My girlfriend and me went kayaking on the Nehalem bay. We were welcomed by our very nice instructor. He quickly told us beginners the basics and we got on the water. While he gave us some hints about ways to improve our technique we went along and across the bay and under an old train bridge to access a little adjacent lake. The kayaks and paddles were in good condition.
I went with them as a solo traveler and was really impressed by their knowledge, professionalism and sense of fun...and I've staked with guides around the world! Wonderful to have these guys right in my backyard!
