Full Moon Kayak Tour

Experience the magic of Tomales Bay on our Full Moon Kayak Tour, where the calm waters and stunning natural surroundings provide an unforgettable evening adventure. Paddle along the west shore of the Bay from Heart’s Desire Beach, witnessing the transition from day to night as the sky transforms into shades of twilight and the moon rises overhead. Along the way, observe a variety of wildlife including cormorants, pelicans, harbor seals, river otters, and osprey, all while learning about the ecology and nocturnal behaviors of the bay from knowledgeable guides. Each tandem kayak is stable and easy to maneuver, allowing both beginners and experienced paddlers to fully enjoy the serene environment and soft glow of moonlight reflecting on the water.

Discover the unique rhythm of the night as you glide past eelgrass beds and scenic shoreline, with opportunities to hear coyotes, foxes, or even tule elk calling from the shore. The tour begins with a safety briefing and orientation to kayaking gear, including PFDs, paddles, and spray skirts, ensuring you feel confident and prepared before launch. Guides provide fascinating insights into the natural and cultural history of the area while keeping the experience relaxed and immersive. As you paddle under the full moon, the quiet and stillness of the Bay create a memorable sense of connection with nature, leaving you with lasting impressions of this beautiful coastal ecosystem.
