Marin Islands Kayak Tour

Trip Description: 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. Because of it’s protected status, we won’t land on these beautiful islands, but we will snack at a sandy beach near the infamous San Quentin state prison before returning to port.
