Midweek adventures are just what the doctor ordered!
Our Midweek Kayak Tours are designed to start your day on the water and connect you to the best of West Marin.
We've tailored our kayak tours and created a themed suggestion for each weekday based on local spots and experiences we love and regularly recommend. More on that below.
These pairings are not included in your kayak booking, just ideas to help you build a full day around your paddle based on what's open and what's awesome.
Each experience may have a featured day, but most are open beyond that. Explore one, explore a few, or see how many you can fit into a single day. We fully support that energy.
Start the week off with a 3-hour kayaking tour on Tomales Bay and then head to The Marshall Store for oysters, sandwiches, and local water buffalo gelato on soft serve. (Don't forget to try their chowder & smoked salmon!)

Kayak Tour: 10-1pm
Marshall Store: Typically open until 3pm
Start your day with a 2-hour kayaking tour to the oyster beds of Tomales Bay.
