About Monterey Bay Kayaks

Monterey Bay Kayaks, based in Moss Landing, has pioneered eco-tourism since 1985 and operates as a locally owned business offering kayak rentals, guided tours, and classes across two locations: the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary shoreline and Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Reserve. The company is a Certified Wildlife Steward and has introduced over 450,000 people to the region through naturalist-led tours and ACA-trained instruction.

Specialized offerings include guided kayak fishing tours for rockfish, halibut, and lingcod from Monterey Beach, with licensed guides providing instruction in kayak fishing basics, boat outfitting, and launching strategies before 3–4 hours of fishing during prime hours. Equipment and tackle are included. The annual Fishing Derby, held on Monterey City Beach, is a competitive event with check-in at 5:45 a.m., launch at 7:00 a.m., and weigh-in by noon.

Private tours accommodate groups of 1–12+ people for 2 hours in either location, customizable for special events and team building. All operations emphasize stewardship of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Reserve.
