We will first gather seaside together to learn about the ecological reserve from your California Naturalist and play a game to get the teamwork flowing. Then it is time to gear up and embark on a thrilling journey to discover hidden coves, vibrant coral reefs, and breathtaking coastlines. Led by our dedicated guides, we will be guided through the wonders of nature, combining the exhilaration of kayaking and snorkeling into one unforgettable and educational experience on this ecological reserve.

During this immersive tour, participants will have the opportunity to snorkel by the caves and explore the sandy flats where the magnificent leopard sharks reside. Paddle your way to the renowned 7 caves, and if conditions permit, we'll venture through the largest cave known as Clam's cave, adding an extra touch of excitement to our journey.

Parents, you have options too! You can join in on the kayak fun or choose to relax seaside while experienced guides and the HFAdventureCommunity educator accompanies and guides your students throughout the tour. Rest assured, we prioritize safety and enjoyment at every step.

Please keep in mind that participants must be able to swim without a life jacket, although life jackets will be provided and worn during the tour for added comfort and security. Our dedicated kayak guides will provide instructions and guidance to ensure everyone has a fantastic and secure experience.

After the exhilarating 2-hour tour, the adventure continues! We'll keep the snorkel gear and wetsuits, allowing everyone to make the most of our time on the beach together. Build sandcastles, soak up the stunning surroundings, continue snorkeling, and create lasting memories with HFAC friends in our customized group setting.
