Cupid's Arrow Kayak Tour of the San Francisco Bay

Tired of pounding the pavement during those walking tours? Then you may want to try something a little bit different. Try taking a kayaking tour where you can get up close and personal with some of the breathtaking scenery of the San Francisco bay.

While the tour is scheduled for four hours long, the first thirty minutes are reserved as guides get the participants ready by going over a paddle-stroke clinic so you don't get stranded out in the middle of the bay. Once the tour is underway, the tour guide will lead you to popular sigh seeing places such as Cupid's Arrow, Bay Bridge, and the 3rd Street drawbridge and of course no kayak trip would be complete without a trip to SBC Ball Park where you can hang out in McCovey Cove waiting to catch a homerun off of Bonds.
As is the case with tours that take place on the water, weather and tide conditions play a large part in the schedule, so each group may take different routes.

The best thing about the tour is that it is perfect for kayakers of all skill levels. Guides recommend double kayaks for the beginners and single kayaks for the more advanced. No matter what, the tour guides assure that all of the kayaks are very stable and very difficult to tip over. While the tour does provide several necessary items, those taking the tour are encouraged to bring a change of clothes for the changing weather, a towel as you may wind up getting wet, but not soaked, a bag to carry a water and sandwich and of course a waterproof camera to capture all the beautiful scenery.

For those wanting a very unique view of the city and the bay that has become synonymous with it, the Cupid's Arrow Kayak Tour is just what you have been looking for.
