Starlight Paddle Kayak Tour on San Francisco Bay - Departure from Sausalito

Starlight Paddle Kayak Tour on San Francisco Bay - Departure from Sausalito

Saturday Night Only

Starlight Paddle Trip Details: The trip begins with a 30-45 minute orientation to the sea kayak and paddling technique. Each kayak is equipped with a "glow stick" and guides carry flashlights while on the water.

A short introductory session prepares you for a leisurely paddle into the sunset along Sausalito's houseboats-strewn waterfront. We'll float past harbor seals and enjoy the city's eclectic and colorful houseboats with the silhouette of Mt. Tamalpais in the distance.

As the stars rise over Angel Island we'll bring our boats together and enjoy the sparkling San Francisco skyline, and the silvery moonlight in the wake of our kayaks. Exact departure time will be in your confirmation.

We paddle seven days a week (weather permitting) year 'round. We're delighted you've chosen to join us. Sea Trek has a reputation for making sea kayaking fun and easily approachable, and we try hard to anticipate your needs.

We offer Rentals and two exciting weekend trips. Visit Scenic Sausaliton on weekends or our paddle under the stars on the Saturday night Starlight Paddle.

Our sandy Sausalito beach is the ideal starting point for your kayaking experience. Sea Trek's helpful staff will have your boat ready at the waters edge for you to enjoy. We include a high quality wet suit if you want one, and all the gear you'll need - plus a map and tips on what you might see. We happily provide basic paddling instructions for first timers!

TOUR DETAILS - F.A.Q.

Although we are planning to stay dry, there is always a certain amount of "splash and drip" associated with kayaking. We therefore recommend clothing that dries quickly and stays warm when damp, such as:

Synthetic (nylon, capilene or polypro) or wool tops/bottoms such as shirts, shorts, windpants, tights, long underwear, bike jerseys. Avoid cotton! Additional layers (such as a fleece jacket) for climate changes. We provide waterproof windbreakers.
Shoes that can get wet, such as neoprene booties, old tennies, Teva-type sandals with or without wool socks. You might also bring lightweight walking/hiking shoes to change into for day long trips when we stop for lunch.

You may also wish to bring:

1. A hat and sunglasses with retainers
2. Sun block
3. For half day trips you may wish to bring a small snack and a plastic water bottle with water (lunch is provided on full-day trips).
4. Camera. Bring a zip-lock baggy for protection
5. Biking gloves (blister protection)
6. We always recommend a change of clothes for traveling home. Remember: try to avoid cotton.
7. Bring a retention strap for your hat and (sun)glasses!

We hope you have an incredible experience. Gratuities are neither included in the trip costs nor expected, but customers have asked us for some guidelines. If you want to show your appreciation to the guides with a tip. $5-10 per guest is the norm.
