Since 1985, Monterey Bay Kayaks has been offering eco-tours and rentals that bring paddlers up close to some of California’s most extraordinary marine environments. With two waterfront locations — along the Monterey shoreline and in the Elkhorn Slough National Marine Reserve — guests experience unparalleled wildlife encounters and diverse paddling opportunities.

Certified Wildlife Stewards through Sea Otter Savvy, Monterey Bay Kayaks is a proud recipient of the Sea Star Business Tourism Award from the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and was named a 2020 Travelers’ Choice by TripAdvisor.

Paddlers can explore the Elkhorn Slough, a rare tidal estuary teeming with sea otters, harbor seals, and shorebirds, or enjoy the vibrant Monterey coastline. Daily guided tours and rentals are available, along with a retail store located right on the water at Moss Landing’s North Harbor.

Specializing in private family, school, and company groups of any size — from 1 to 110 — Monterey Bay Kayaks makes it easy to plan unforgettable outings and connect with the natural beauty of Monterey Bay.
