Within the protected waters of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, the sea abounds with marine life. We typically spot sea lions, harbor seals, otters and a myriad of marine birds around the kelp beds. This trip is ideal for the adventurous beginner who wants a taste of coastal kayaking. Double kayaks provided for first-time paddlers. Includes kayak equipment, Sunday breakfast, and camping fees.
Participants provide personal camping gear, and transportation to Mono Lake.
Come relax in the desert weather of early winter and enjoy the incomparable scenery of the Black Canyon. Below Hoover Dam and the waters of Lake Mead is a dramatic quiet water gorge which is perfect for sea kayak touring. With the Colorado River wide and mellow here, we paddle about 25 miles on the river, looking for desert bighorn sheep, hiking the side canyons, soaking in hot springs and camping under brilliant stars. Double kayaks available for first-time paddlers. A support boat provides safety backup, while carrying coolers of fresh produce and plenty of drinking water.
