If you’re looking for an after-hours adventure geared towards beginners then join us for a guided sunset tour of the bay. After outfitting and some personal instruction we depart from Woodley island. We end up in perfect position to float home with the tide and kick back as the setting sun paints the clouds and sky like sticky orange tallow. In our travels we are likely to run across Harbor seals and sea lions, otters and blacktail deer browsing throughout the marshlands. We’ll see the greatest variety of shorebirds such as Egrets and herons as well as raptors like bald eagles and falcons. The twilight hours on Humboldt Bay offer shutterbugs and photography enthusiast a chance at a world class picture amidst a pristine wilderness waterway backdrop. The bay has a unique history and past as a Victorian seaport and ancestral grounds for the Wiyot Indian tribe. Let our guides share with you the living and natural history of Humboldt County, seen from the perspective of a stable seaworthy kayak. No prior experience is necessary as our guides are highly trained and certified as some of the west coast best instructors and will coach you along during the paddle. We have single and two man kayaks well as Canoes. Everything you’ll need is provided by the guides including splash tops and bottoms, Lifejackets, paddles, kayaks, and flashlights. As an added treat we bring along a bottle of good California wine to sip and toast the sunset while we snack on cheese and hors d’oeuvres (Hot cocoa and cookies for the kids). The tour price is $50 pp or $40 for kids 12 and under, $35 if you bring your own kayak.
