Corporate Outings
Get Your Team Out of the Office and Onto the Water!
Kayaking is one of the most effective — and most enjoyable — team building activities available to Bay Area businesses. A guided kayak tour with Kayak Connection gives your employees a chance to:
- Break down personal barriers in a relaxed, natural setting
- Improve communication and problem-solving skills through guided on-water challenges
- Build camaraderie and trust while paddling side by side
- Boost morale with a shared adventure your team will talk about for months
- Reconnect with nature in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
Our experienced guides can tailor the tour to your team’s goals — whether that’s pure fun and relaxation, structured team challenges, or an educational experience exploring the marine ecology of the Monterey Bay. We’ll work with you to design the perfect outing for groups of all sizes and skill levels. No prior kayaking experience is required.
Custom Guided Tours for Families, Friends & Organizations
Planning a gathering with family, friends, or your community group? Kayak Connection offers private guided kayak tours tailored to your group’s interests, experience level, and schedule. Our guides will lead your group through calm, scenic waterways teeming with wildlife — sea otters, harbor seals, pelicans, herons, and more. Along the way, you’ll learn about the biology, ecology, and natural history of one of the world’s most remarkable marine environments. No kayaking experience is required. We provide all equipment and instruction so your group can relax and enjoy the adventure.
