Drakes Estero Kayak Tour

Description

Time: varies according to tide and season

Location: Drakes Estrero / Drakes Bay Oyster Company

Drakes Estero Kayak Tour is one of the north bay's gems and this is one of our best kayak tours in the Point Reyes National Seashore! Once it opens July 1st, you can explore several arms which are the homes to hundreds of bat rays and leopard sharks that will swim lazily under your kayak in crystal clear waters! There is an abundance of resident bird life: brown pelicans, white pelicans, marbled godwits, willits, long-billed curlews, whimbrels, osprey, great horned owls, and many, many more.

Launching from the beach at the Drakes Bay Oyster Company, we'll paddle our kayaks out of Schooner Bay, crossing over to Home Bay and up along the shores passing jellies, harbor seals, bat rays and ochre stars until we reach the estero's beach at the mouth about 4 miles away. Here you can easily walk around to the ocean side and explore the cliffs. Bring a lunch and come join us for a splendid day of paddling in one of the most majestic places in Marin County!

Appropriate clothing required.
