WHAT YOU VISIT
Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
Known as the "Serengeti of the Sea," the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
stretches 276 miles along the central coast from San Francisco to Cambria and includes pristine beaches, jewel-like tide pools, lush kelp forests, steep canyons and an offshore seamount teeming with life-from tiny shrimp to giant blue whales. Experience it all with a kayaking tour through the bay's turquoise waters. No experience is necessary and is recommended for families with children. Before you leave the pier, make sure to bring along a waterproof jacket, hat and adequate sun protection.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
As you navigate the waters, you can soak up the sun, the breezes and the spectacular views of sea lions, sea otters, harbor seals, and birds, and depending on the time of year, migrating blue, grey or humpback whales.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Marvel at the awesome splendor that surrounds you as you make your way across Monterey's sparkling waters.
