Well, ditch the binoculars and hop in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventuresbythesea.com\">kayak<\/a> to get up close and personal with all of the wildlife that the Monterey Bay has to offer. In a kayak, you won\u2019t need binoculars to spot seals, pelicans or even sea otters.<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways in which you can enjoy kayaking on the bay. If you\u2019re more interested in exploring on your own, you can rent your own kayak for $30 a day and keep paddling for as long as you&#8217;d like. Rentals at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventuresbythesea.com\">Adventures by the Sea<\/a> begin at 9 a.m. and close at sunset. All gear and paddling instructions are included with the kayak rental.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019d like a more comprehensive experience, consider taking a kayak tour with a guide. The guides serve to add extra information about the surrounding area. Tours are offered at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and are $60 per person. The tours last for two hours.<\/p>\n<p>Kayaks can be rented from numerous vendors at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canneryrow.com\">Cannery Row<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ci.pg.ca.us\/recreation\/p-loverspt.htm\">Lovers Point<\/a>.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventuresbythesea.com\"> Adventures by the Sea<\/a> has kayak rentals available at Cannery Row, Breakwater Cove, and Lovers Point shops.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Take <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caltrain.com\/\">Caltrain<\/a> to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caltrain.com\/\">San Jose Caltrain Station<\/a>.
