Over the past 18 years Blue Waters Kayaking has worked with thousands of young people on Tomales Bay. We have developed and specifically designed outdoor education programs which foster team building, leadership development, self-discovery, and individual growth.

Our facility in Marshall, CA and our use of motor-boat support sets us apart from any other kayak company on Tomales Bay. 24/7 communication and motorboat availability takes safety, our primary concern, to a higher level than other kayak companies can offer.

Daily kayaking and hiking activities will introduce young people to the bay's stunning beauty and the diversity of wildlife which call Tomales Bay home. As our kayaks glide across the water, a Harbor Seal may pop its head up and surprise us only a few feet away. Paddling along, an Osprey, Pelican or Kingfisher may dive for their lunch right before our eyes! After lunch on a secluded beach, we will hike up and visit the Tule Elk wandering the hills above the bay.

Skill-building in kayak self-rescue, navigation, and low-impact camping, and varied special programs such as poetry workshops, mask-making, adventure-based learning, and campfire story-telling will make this week an experience young people will remember for the rest of their lives.

Blue Waters runs a great youth program.
They have fun, knowledgeable staff that enjoy
working with kids and always put safety first.
An empowering experience for students
of all ages and backgrounds."
