Kokopelli Kayak Rentals

Five stars for the boat and the rental experience. The kayak was modern, stable and a joy to paddle. But one less star for location. Once you’re done with the quiet paddle through the boat slips, you’re out facing the horsepower and audio systems of powerboats who view you as a nuisance.

What a great experience. My friend and I were greeted by the two friendly gals running the rentals. I initialed and signed the liability waiver, paid for the estimated time we were planning to be out ($ 20/​hour for a tandem kayak), given life jackets and paddles and we were off. Not knowing the area one of the gals suggested we head down a small, quiet slough and hug the shoreline to avoid the power boats. My friend brought her binoculars and we saw many species of birds including Kingfishers, Herons, and Sparrows. We notice so many blackberry bushes along the shore and picked several pounds in the span of about an hour. Our tandem kayak was a Perception brand and very stable and tracked well in the water. Would like to come back and do a guided tour with one of the gals. Overall, it was a very enjoyable day and great way to get out on the water without bringing your own kayak.

We were traveling from Sacramento to LA and wanted to get the kids out of the car for a fun break. This is only about 15 minutes from the I-​5. When we arrived the owners were extremely nice and did a great job getting us out on the water. Reasonable prices and a fun area to explore. Will definitely plan on coming back next time we’re in the area.
