My two kids and I had an awesome experience renting kayaks from Ballard Kayak and Paddleboards. We rented a double and a single kayak. The people working at Ballard Kayak and Paddleboards were extremely friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful. We rented the kayaks for two hours, next time we will probably rent them for 4 hours. We had so much fun, we saw between 5-10 different seals within 5-15 yards from. My son saw a whale. It was well worth the money and we will be going here again in the future.

I've taken friends on three tours so far and continue to recommend them. The locks tour provides an up close view of the Hiram M Chittenden locks (aka Ballard Locks). Jay was a great guide and provided good insights and commentary about the area.

I rarely leave reviews online, but I don't want other people to have the same experience we did. It was my brother's birthday, and we were excited about getting out on the water for a couple of hours. This place literally cancelled our reservation LESS THAN 30 MINUTES before we were supposed to show up. We were already on an Uber ride heading there, and they had the audacity to EMAIL us the cancellation notice. Our reservation began at 2:30pm and it was nearly 2pm. We didn't receive so much as a text or call. When I called to inquire, the guy nonchalantly said the call/text notifications \should\ have gone out that morning, and the reason our session was cancelled was because of \high winds.\ That was it. Well, guess what? When we arrived at our destination (since we couldn't exactly ask the Uber to turn around), we saw plenty of people paddle boarding and enjoying their time at the beach. The wind level was LOW that day. Even if the wind levels justified cancellation (which they didn't), they could have notified us in the morning instead of waiting until the last minute and not giving so much as an apology. My guess is that they overbooked, but who knows? There are lots of great places to go to in Seattle, so please spend your hard-earned money elsewhere. Avoid Ballard Kayak & Paddleboard Tours like the plague.

Absolutely add this to your MUST DO list! The only regret I have is not doing it sooner. Our guide Jay was GREAT! Knowledgeable, funny, confidently calm, and very personable! I was a bit nervous since this was my first time in a kayak, but quickly found out I had nothing to worry about and was able to enjoy EVERY minute of our tour. Our 11 yo managed better than all of us, so it’s definitely a doable trip for the whole family. It also helps when your guide can make you feel safe so that you can spend your time soaking in the surroundings, which included multiple SEAL sightings!! I’m sure we spotted at least 8 and it just added to the already unbelievable sights!! Our picnic on the beach was a great add on and kept anyone from getting a little ‘hangry’. I’m most definitely doing this again and recommending it to all my friends and family. I’m sure everyone is a great time...but if you can, get Jay! 5 Star-fish rating from me! ️️️️️

It was our first time Kayaking. This was the perfect tour to do for beginners. Our guide, Blaine, was helpful and made sure we felt comfortable the whole way. He was knowledgeable about the the area and marine life. Highly recommend taking a tour with Ballard Kayak.
