Kayak Tour - Point Reyes

Description: Join REI guides for a kayaking tour of magnificent Drake's Estero, offered in partnership with Point Reyes National Seashore Association's Field Seminars. This 7,800 acre estuarine wilderness contains vast, thriving eelgrass beds, providing a home to a diverse marine ecosystem including bat rays and leopard sharks, which we look for as we paddle. This is also an amazing location for viewing shore and water birds including herons, egrets, osprey, pelicans and more. After an orientation and safety briefing, we will explore the estuary, and depending on conditions, we'll paddle between 5 and 9 miles round trip. Lunch is provided. Pre-Requisite: Learn to Kayak Class or equivalent skills, students must be physically able to paddle up to 9 miles. For this tour we will be using high-quality, tandem (2 person) kayaks to keep the group together, prevent fatigue, and keep you focused on the beautiful scenery and wildlife. We will bring single kayaks only if there are an odd number of participants. The guides may rotate paddlers based upon desire/experience/fatigue to facilitate the best group experience.
