Sponsored by Hopkins San Francisco/Bay Area
Join fellow alumni and friends for a four-hour kayaking tour of Tomales Point. We will meet at Miller Park Boat Launch (next to Nick’s Cove Restaurant and Cottages). After organizing gear, reviewing basic kayaking instructions and safety procedures, we'll launch our boats and paddle across the bay to the Point Reyes National Seashore. As we kayak along the shoreline we will discover the myriad and diverse animals which inhabit the Bay and its shores. In addition to the Tule Elk, it is common to see harbor seals, bat-rays, leopard sharks, osprey, river otters, and sea lions. The area around Hog Island is also rich in wildlife and scenic beauty. All guided tours are in tandem closed deck sea kayaks. The double kayaks track well, are difficult to capsize, and are easy to maneuver. All the necessary gear such as life jackets, paddles, and spray skirts is provided. We'll go rain or shine. Please arrive 15 minutes before your tour starts.
Come prepared for variable weather. Mornings are often cool/foggy, typically warming up by late morning/early afternoon. We recommend dressing in layers. Bring clothes that reflect your degree of sensitivity to heat and cold.
Before registering, please look at the Frequently Asked Questions section of the Blue Waters Kayaking website. All participants are required to sign a waiver.
