Kayaking in Monterey Bay: Paddle by Seals & Sea Otters
Put yourself in the middle of Monterey Bay's spectacular natural beauty on a kayaking adventure. There's no better way to connect with the true spirit of the California coast and the world-famous wildlife of the region. You can join a guided tour with a naturalist or rent a kayak and blaze your own trail. Discover gentle waters teeming with wildlife, including harbor seals, sea lions, sea otters, dolphins, butterflies, and over 250 species of birds. Cruise around Monterey Harbor's kelp forests on a short trip or venture out farther on a full-day expedition. Kayaking companies like Adventures by the Sea and Monterey Bay Kayaks offer a wide variety of guided expeditions, including fishing trips and sunrise tours. It's recommended to book at least 24 hours in advance.Details
