Experience the magic of Tomales Bay after dark on a guided bioluminescence kayak tour with Kayak + Connect.

This tour is designed to be peaceful, safe, and awe-inspiring. Our experienced guides will provide paddling instruction, safety support, and natural history along the way, helping you feel comfortable on the water while deepening your connection to this remarkable coastal ecosystem. Conditions vary from night to night, but the experience of being out on Tomales Bay under the stars is always special.
