KAYAK RENTALS The rental includes a super stable sit-on-top kayak, paddle, seatback, wetsuit and safety orientation.  If you need paddling instruction or new to kayaking please sign up for the tour.  Rentals are for experience kayakers who have already paddled with us before. Most people paddle 1-2 hours but you can keep the kayak until closing time. Recommended for experienced kayakers & those who know Monterey Bay.  Novices, those with children and those inexperienced paddling Monterey Bay should take the guided kayak your first trip out. You may encounter sea lions, sea otters and harbor seals on your journey, but please be cautious not getting too close.  It's not good for the marine mammals to be closer than 50' to you  - and it is illegal if you are caught closer, no matter how it happened... if the mammal comes close to you and you don't paddle away immediately... guess who gets the fine? The Federal Marine Mammals Protection Act makes its illegal to get too close.  Guides are familiar with the proper distance to maintain and if you are not sure then take the guided tour and relax. The historic Monterey waterfront was one of the first settlements on the West Coast and famous for the sardine cannery's in the early 20th century that John Steinbeck made made legendary in his book Cannery Row.  Guided tours are happy to share this history with you.   Reservations are recommended and you should call to get directions.
