Half Moon Bay Kayak Co.

Kids Programs

Your kids will love the sport of sea kayaking, whether a short day trip or one of our four day kids camps we have ways to get them and you outside and smiling.

Take the Kids Sea Kayaking Adults $65 / Kids $35 (This is a three hour trip.)

This is a great way to introduce your family to the sport of sea kayaking. After a brief boat and safety orientation, we will launch our kayaks and paddle across the protected harbor among the sea birds and harbor seals. We’ll land on the other side of the harbor at Pillar Point, walk across the sand spit, and explore the aquatic life of the tide pools at low tide, before returning in our kayaks to our departure point.

Dress:

We provide wetsuits and waterproof paddle jackets for all classes, rentals, and tours. You bring sun block, sunglasses with retention strap, synthetic sweater, shoes that can get wet, and a hat. A change of dry clothes and a towel is recommended in case you get wet during the trip.

Kayak Camp

Pillar Point Harbor is the perfect setting for five days of fun as you learn how to sea kayak while exploring our aquatic backyard.

Each day you'll learn new skills paddling single and double kayaks, practicing rescues, reading the tides and charts, and exploring the protected waters of Half Moon Bay. Our goal is to teach camp members what makes our area such a rich environment. We’ll explore the marine life in tide pools and take short hikes in the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve as we learn about the natural wonders of the Coastside.
