Ocean Kayak Tour of Elkhorn Slough

February 14, 2010

Register for this trip here!

Elkhorn Slough (pronounced "slew") is one of California's largest and last wetlands. The slough is located at Moss Landing, south of Santa Cruz in the heart of the Monterey Bay. Birds, seals, otters, fish and other creatures inhabit the twisting channels of this inland sea. If the conditions permit, in addition to paddling in the slough, we will be able to paddle into Monterey Bay to explore the sandy shoreline and look for whales, dolphins and other sea creatures!

The kayaking in the slough is well protected from open ocean swells, making this trip great for novice paddlers as well as more experienced paddlers who want to view wildlife from a kayak's perspective.

As with all Outdoor Adventure Club trips, we will assess the conditions of the day to take full advantage of what Mother Nature gives us.

The Trip:

This tour includes all kayaking equipment, single or double kayak, guides, lunch, an introductory lesson and natural interpretation. If the winds permit, you can try sailing your kayak downwind, too! Yes, you can use a hand held sail to help your kayak glide. It’s really cool! Limited to 14 people, so sign up early. Beginners are welcome!
