How would you like to be a marine mammal for an hour and a half, and explore the Mendocino coast’s incredibly rich and diverse sea caves? It’s easier than you might think. You’re already a mammal. For the marine part, just hop aboard a sit-on-top ocean kayak, and take one of Kayak Mendocino’s professionally guided sea cave tours in Van Damme State Park.
Here you will join harbor seals, sea otters, giant anemones, kelp and other marine flora and fauna as you glide through the water safely and happily. Van Damme is a special place offering protection and easily navigated channels. You will stay within these areas to ensure an easy ride, while still being able to observe wave action on outer reefs.
No kayaking experience is necessary, and tours are safe and enjoyable for all ages. All instruction and equipment are provided, including wetsuits, booties, life jackets and helmets. Walk-ups are welcome, but reservations are preferred because space is limited. Tours leave Van Damme State Park at 9am, 11:30am and 2pm, with reservations daily.
WHERE: Van Damme State Park, 3 miles south of the town of Mendocino.
