Dyanamaria Leifsson - MPA Hike

Dear OCH,

I just wanted to write a quick note telling you how wonderful our experience was today at the Intertidal MPA Hike. We attended with our two little kids and we all had a blast and learned so much. The entire team of guides were kind and patient (especially since I'm not much of a hiker and I had to go slow in some areas, I appreciated that guides were at the end of the group to help me find my footing when I was slowing down.) I have lived in Orange County my entire life and it was the first time I have seen the beaches and tidepools in this way. Thank you for offering an awesome, family friendly opportunity to see those incredible habitats with informed guides. My sons loved collecting sea glass and seeing sea life, but I think they loved exploring and having a guide around to ask a million questions to the most. We hope to join in on other OC Habitats adventures in the future.

Thank you!
