Here's a way to learn about some of the wildlife that we see when we kayak in the Pacific Ocean.

Take a submersible tour of the kelp forest. We don't have sea otters, but this kelp forest tour gives you an idea of the life that is beneath the ocean's surface. We can often see this sea life below us as we paddle over it. Click here to check it out.

Become a seal, whale, or fish and explore the ocean and its life. Click here to check it out.
