Overview
This kayaking tour will explore the rugged and pristine shoreline of Tomales Bay, part of the Point Reyes National Seashore. It is one of the most untouched parts of California and a wilderness sanctuary with diverse plants and animals. With your guides, you will paddle through secluded coves and inlets, and along beaches teeming with life. We often encounter harbor seals, bat rays, leopard sharks, osprey, river otters, and sea lions! 400 Tule Elk inhabit the northern part of the peninsula and can be regularly seen from the water as well. Sea kayaking is one of the least invasive and most intimate forms of exploring natural spaces, so don't be surprised if a curious harbor seal approaches your kayak to say hi!
