Giacomini Wetlands Paddle

On this kayak tour, you’ll see plenty of waterfowl, hawks, raptors, egrets, herons, and maybe even a few otters!

Full Moon Paddle
If you’re a night owl, or if you’re curious to see what the beautiful Tomales Bay looks like at night, the full moon paddle will be a blast. Osprey and pelicans are out and about for their last catch of the day, seals head towards the beach for shelter, and the Tomales Bay fades into a peaceful state. The moon illuminates the bay, and you’ll have a fantastic view of the stars. On cloudy evenings, when you can’t see the stars as well, the bioluminescence in the bay will steal the show. This tour can last anywhere from three to four hours.
Drake’s Estero Tour
This tour will take you to Drake’s Estero, one of the most stunning places to paddle on the California coast. You’ll see plenty of marine and birdlife while you paddle, like harbor seals, bat rays, leopard sharks, osprey, white pelicans, hawks, and so much more.
