We explore quiet waters of the San Francisco Bay. You will paddle to McCovey Cove by Oracle Ball Park and under the historic Lefty ODoul draw bridge. Based on your interest, your guide may add or change the route for a scenic detour.
The trip starts with gear up, briefing, and instructions. Actual paddle time is approximately 40 minutes.
This kayaking session is suitable for first time paddlers and families with children. No paddling experience is required, and beginners are welcome.
We will go through a briefing about the area, show you how to maneuver a kayak. Our instructor will guide you on the water and give you helpful tips until you are out of water.
You get an easy to use and stable touring kayak. Single kayaks are easier to use and more fun, so usually we provide you a single kayak. But, double kayaks are available if one person needs extra support due to injury or for any other reason.
Single kayak accommodates 70lbs to 240lbs. A double (tandem) kayak can hold up to 450lbs. Youth over age 14 may paddle solo kayak. Smaller child would double up on a tandem kayak with an adult.
