Kayaking Tomales Bay at Point Reyes National Seashore

Experience one the premier paddling destinations in California on this guided kayak tour of Tomales Bay and Point Reyes. Wildlife abounds in this spectacular setting. Colorful sea stars slide beneath your kayak as majestic Tule Elk roam the hillsides. One of the largest protected bay and coastal areas in California, this kayaker's paradise is a short distance from San Francisco and the Bay Area. Launching from Nick's Cove, we will paddle in stable double sea kayaks, past Hog Island, to the White Cliffs of Tomales Bay, a unique geological formation similar to the White Cliffs of Dover. We will then stop for lunch on a pristine beach, accessible only by small watercraft.
