BRING CASH! Great experience, good prices, friendly staff, and such a beautiful area - but parking and logistics could be a little better. I really enjoyed how much wildlife was such a short kayak trip away from the beach. You can see sea otters and seals at very close distances (respecting the wildlife’s space as well per law). I brought a very long lens and got some great shots! For a good price, this business provides you everything including a safety briefing. Plan on getting here early because you need to sign a waiver and wait for briefings in “groups” to head to the beach. Also, parking is 11$ and you MUST bring cash to put into an envelope. Wish I knew beforehand. Otherwise, a really great experience. Make sure you keep 5 kayak lengths away from any sea life to avoid disturbing them or receiving fines. You’ll learn about it all during the briefing!

I used their kayak for years and I appreciate their thorough introduction before anyone getting on kayaks since many kayakers are need to be educated regarding distance between their vessels and wild animals for everyone's sake. Kayaks are comfortable and clean.

Great kayaking experience, very helpful and knowledgeable staff and outstanding environment. Going out early is definitely helpful and more enjoyable, the slought can get a bit tricky to navigate in high winds and currents.

Very fun place to get close to the nature and observe the sea otters, pelicans, seals and other sea birds! There are two designated place for launching kayak. You may rent the kayaks from the shop or bring your own. You have to purchase the parking permit from the red box outside of the restroom if you would like to launch your own kayak in the parking lot. Leave the cash inside of the envelope, and put the permits in your car. It’s a little bit easy from starting point to the seal bend where we enjoy our time. But it gets more harder of your back trip because of the high tide. Suggest you checking the tide table and not late than 3pm with your back trip. We spent 1 hour to seal bend, while took 3 hours back to the launching place for strong water resistance. Bring your jacket to keep warm even in summer! Keep distance from the wild animals for keeping their habits and peace.

Hey Lukas, Yes, you can get wet especially your bottom half as you will be doing a beach launch. However, we will provide plenty gear including a wetsuit or paddle pants for that reason. We are are open year round so any time year should be fine. In regards to weather spring and summer tends to be warmer.
Thank you for your inquiry! In rentals, kids must be at least 5 to be in a double with an adult and 13 to rent a single with them. In guided tours, we have 1.5 hour tours which is for families with kids 3 years and up.
6 feet distance, mask are required, shield for employees and customer interactions, sanitized all equipment after each use. They really seem to be taking all precautions.
Yes, there is a place to launch your own kayak. Parking is $10 for the day for a normal-sized vehicle, but you must pay with cash in an envelope so make sure to have some cash on hand
Of course varies by water, surf conditions and if you want to move on the kayak, but having done a dozen outings, barely get wet let alone fall or flip
Yes. Check out the caps available online but we also have more in the store. If you want to send us a photo we can try to match it! https://www.montereybaykayaks.com/apps/search?q=cap Thank you!
