Marin Islands Kayak Tour

Join Outback Adventures friendly and experienced guides for this exciting trip out to East and West Marin Islands. Located about an hour’s paddle from our Larkspur headquarters, this federally protected marine sanctuary is home to a plethora of resident and migratory bird species, including the largest egret and heron rookery in the San Francisco Bay area. Due to the protected status of the islands, we will observe the wildlife while leisurely paddling along the shoreline. Before heading back, we will have lunch on a beautiful and rare sandy beach near the Richmond-San Rafael bridge.
