Details

Paddle along the San Francisco downtown waterfront.

You will enjoy scenic view of the bay. Our knowledgeable guide will take you through the easier routes. You get a performance touring kayak and gear for comfort and enjoyment.

We paddle to postcard-perfect cityscape, magnificent structures and landmarks. Destinations include: Bay Bridge, Cupid's Span, Ferry Building, SF Fireboat house
McCovey Cove (AT&T Park), Lefty O'Doul Drawbridge, Mission Creek houseboats

No paddling experience is required, and beginners are welcome. Yet, stronger paddlers will have opportunities to explore more areas. This is a leisurely paced kayak trip for adults. Youth under age 18 should paddle with an adult. Recommended weight range is between 80 lbs and 240 lbs.

We provide all the paddling gear. This trip uses performance touring kayak with rudder. Such kayaks are superior to sit-on-top (rental) kayaks in several ways; comfortable seats, fast and dry kayaking experience. It is the best way to see and exprience the waterfront comfortably in short amount of time. Double kayaks are used for beginners. Single kayaks are only available to advanced paddlers. Provided gears include: dry jacket, spray skirt, life jacket, paddle.

You will be paddling for 2 hours. If you need to leave early, you can leave after the first hour. Typically your trip looks like the following:
Hour 0-0.5: check-in, trip briefing, gear up, kayaking lesson
Hour 0.5-2.5: paddle on the water
Hour 2.5-3: return, rinse gear, and check-out

Bring: change of clothes and comfortable shoes in case you get wet. Also recommended: dress in layers, hat, sunglasses, sunblock, contact lenses (better than prescription eye glasses), moisture wicking garment (rather than cotton), and bottled water.

You could get motion sickness if you are tired, hungry, hung over, or just sensitive to motion sickness. Don't paddle on empty stomach. Avoid staying up late the night before. If you are sensitive to motion sickness, eat ginger before the trip or drink carbonated water.
