Letting the Sea Rest


Winter time here on the coast and we are going to close for january and February. We have had some great trips, mostly just checking the sea caves out and letting the winter surf crash inside of them. I would like to thank everyone who came out with us this last year and all our great restaurants and Inns that sent paddlers our way. it is great to work with the likes of Little River Inn, Glendeven inn, Surf Motel, Beachcomber Motel and so many more to name a few. happy Holidays. This photo is of our pet fossilized whale, where the blowhole is. It is only 10 minutes max paddling from our launch at Little River Cove at Van Damme State Park. I think it is amazing and if in Australia wopuld be a national monument.Come check it out, when our Sea Cave Nature tours start up again in late february. We look forward to greeeting all the visitors to the Mendocino/Fort Bragg coast and taking them on an amazing kayak trip.

Best paddling/Historical Location/Fun, Fun, Fun


We are in the swing of the best time to paddle. We are seeing pelican and sea lions feed everyday, hunting osprey, harbour seals and more. everyday is amazing. this location is so historical. Check out this photo of the bay back in the logging days. We launch right here and go through this headland pictured. So cool. Kayak Mendocino is so happy to share this journey with everyone and we hope you can make it on on of our sea cave tours soon. Dylan my 7 month old son has been out twice now and loves it as well. Still a little time until he paddles, but I will be patient with him. Give us a call, and come check out the magic as we glide over the seaweeds and giant kelp forest, and go back in time to see the geology and animal life as it was thousands of years ago.

connection




The baby seals and My boy Dylan are so similar in looks. Chubby and happy. Both Moms are taking great care of them and on our Sea Cave Nature tour you can see how connected we all are. it is amazing to weave in and out of the channels and see the seals going about their lives like they have for millions of years. Please do not be shy, or scared. Remember, all ages and no experience necessary are able to go through the sea caves here and paddle our guided adventures at Little River, 2 miles south of Mendocino. Hope to share it with you soon...

So many happy customers through the channels and caves at Little River this weekend.Lots of "wows" and smiling faces. Thanks to all our great customers. Summer is approaching and we are looking forward to seeing more of you here. You will not be disappointed. Give a call to make a reservation. Our son Dylan is now about 20 lbs, but still not gone out yet. I had better wait a little longer.

Life as it Should Be/kayaking in Mendocino


On this tour you will slow down and see how nature takes the pace of a normal crawl. Just the basics are necessary here, moms feeding young, eating and staying warm. The wildlife will take us back in time to an ancestral state. Check out our site www.kayakmendocino.com and go to directions. here you can look at Google satellite and see the amazing formation of Little River headlands and the natural paths they take to allow us to kayak through the caves and channels. The offshore reefs provide blockage from any swell and knock down the wind as well. This kayak tour really is for anyone and all ages.Hope to share this experience with you soon.
