Sea Kayaking Adventures with Kayak Connection - Moss Landing

Moss Landing, California, offers a gateway to one of the West Coast’s most dynamic marine environments: Elkhorn Slough. Kayak Connection - Elkhorn Slough capitalizes on this unique estuary habitat, delivering immersive sea kayaking experiences that combine wildlife viewing, natural history, and hands-on skill building. Situated on the Monterey Bay coast, this location provides paddlers with access to calm waters rich in birdlife, sea otters, harbor seals, and vibrant eelgrass beds that form a rare and critical ecosystem.

At Kayak Connection, every trip is tailored for both beginners and seasoned paddlers. Their fleet includes a range of kayaking options—from single closed deck kayaks suited for those seeking a traditional sea kayaking feel, to sit on top models accommodating individuals, doubles, triples, and family groups. Signature trips like the Elkhorn Slough Wildlife Tour present unmatched opportunities to quietly glide through inlets and channels where marine mammals and migratory birds are common sights.

Private tours at sunrise or sunset offer a different angle, where freshwater light enhances the serene surroundings and wildlife activity shifts with the tides. The King Tide Tours provide a rare chance to observe the estuary under extraordinary tidal conditions, revealing parts of the habitat typically submerged.

Beyond guided excursions, Kayak Connection emphasizes safety and skill development through dedicated instruction on paddling techniques, bracing, rescues, navigation, and trip planning. This commitment to education empowers both novices and experienced kayakers, ensuring confidence before heading out.
