What happens when the fog rolls in during a bioluminescence tour? 🌫️🌌

Sometimes, it makes the experience even better! Some of our most memorable nights on Tomales Bay have been spent paddling through fog, watching brilliant blue-green bioluminescence illuminate the water while the shoreline disappears into the mist. It can be a pretty incredible experience!

But fog also presents some very real challenges. When it gets thick enough, familiar landmarks can disappear completely. Add darkness, wind, and tidal currents, and navigating Tomales Bay becomes a much more serious undertaking. Even experienced paddlers can become disoriented when visibility drops, and currents can carry you off course without you even realizing it. That's why we carry compasses on every tour and practice using them frequently.

This is one of the biggest reasons we generally discourage folks from crossing Tomales Bay on their own at night. Fog can move in quickly, and what starts as a beautiful, clear evening can turn into challenging navigation conditions before you know it.

If you're hoping to experience the bioluminescence, we recommend joining a guided tour or camping along the bay! Camping gives you the opportunity to enjoy the glowing water right from shore without having to navigate across the bay in the dark.

We love seeing people get out and experience the magic of Tomales Bay. We just want everyone to make it home safely. 💙

As people who spend countless nights outside, we've come to appreciate how special our dark skies are.

They're not only beautiful...they're essential.

Darkness helps migrating birds navigate, supports bats, owls, and countless other nocturnal wildlife, and lets us experience one of West Marin's greatest treasures: a sky filled with stars instead of artificial light.

That's why we're proud to support DarkSky West Marin, a community-led effort to protect the night skies that make this place so unique.

If you've ever looked up and seen the Milky Way stretching over Tomales Bay, watched meteor showers from the shoreline, or simply appreciated the quiet that comes with a truly dark night, we'd encourage you to take a minute to sign their petition.

Protecting dark skies is one of the simplest ways we can help protect wildlife, preserve the character of West Marin, and ensure future generations can experience the night as it was meant to be.

✨ Link to their website to find out more and sign the petition:

Thank you, Dark Sky West Marin, for the important work you're doing.

"Look Up"

I (Dallas) have these two little words tattooed on my ankle.

I don’t know about you, but when I’m feeling down, I tend to look down...getting lost in whatever is going on in my head.

“Look Up” is my little reminder to actually do just that. To notice the people around me, the land, the water, the sky, and all the beauty that’s easy to miss when your mind is somewhere else.

And yes, sometimes it’s also a reminder to get off my phone. 😂

For World Mental Health Day, maybe someone else could use the reminder too. 💛

One of our favorite things we get to do is help local young people build a relationship with the water right here in their own backyard.

We live in a water community. Tomales Bay, Lagunitas Creek and the wetlands surrounding them are such a huge part of this place, and we think there’s something really important about making sure the next generation gets the chance to know them, play in them, learn from them and feel like they belong here.

We have several days on the water scheduled with our local youth center, and the first two have been pretty special.

Day one was gloriously simple: paddling around, practicing flipping kayaks and stand up paddle boards, jumping off things, swimming and generally discovering just how much fun you can have on the water. 😂

The following Wednesday brought a rare super-high tide, so we paddled into the Giacomini Wetlands....it was incredible to think that just 20 years ago, cattle would have been grazing where we were paddling and swimming!

And then we spotted baby bat rays cruising through the wetlands! You can actually see one in the corner of this photo. After spotting this little one, everyone piled into/onto this double kayak so we could give it plenty of space and watch without disturbing it.

Play, exploration, respect, curiosity and a sense of belonging.

This is what building a relationship with the water can look like. And in a water community like ours, that relationship feels especially important. 💙🌊

Talk about a small world...
Not long after we adopted Zorro, we took him to the local dog park and he immediately hit it off with another dog that looked oddly familiar.
After chatting with their humans, we realized they had both been adopted through Compassion Without Borders . Then it clicked...we remembered seeing that same dog on their website when we were first looking at Zorro.
We laughed about how much they looked alike with their big ears and street dog charm.
Later that night, curiosity got the best of us, so we did a little more digging...and found out they actually traveled from Mexico to the U.S. on the very same rescue van.
Months later, we ran into them again. They’d both grown into themselves and looked even more alike than before. Maybe they’re siblings. Maybe they’re just lifelong travel buddies. Either way, after making that long journey together and finding loving homes, it felt pretty special to see them reunited.
Some coincidences are just too good not to share. ❤️🐾

Sometimes you want a couple of hours on the water.

Sometimes you want to load up a kayak with your camping gear and stay out for a few days. ⛺️

We can help with both.

Our kayak & SUP rentals are completely mobile. We’ll meet you at the water with your boat and gear, get you fitted, go over the basics, share some local knowledge, and help get you on your way. When you paddle back, we’ll be there to take care of the rest.

🌿 Whitehouse Pool
A more protected place to paddle at the southern end of Tomales Bay, where you can explore Lagunitas Creek and the surrounding wetlands. Rentals are available for 2 or 4 hours.

🌊 Miller Boat Launch
Head out onto the northern end of Tomales Bay near Hog Island, with the white cliffs of White Gulch, sandy Point Reyes National Seashore beaches, and oyster beds in the distance. Rentals are available for 2 hours, 4 hours, a full day, or overnight.

We can also deliver to select private residences on Tomales Bay with full-day, and overnight rentals available.

And if you’re heading out for a night (or a few!), we also rent camping gear for overnight adventures on the bay. ⛺️

A couple hours. A full day. A few nights.

There’s a lot to explore out there.

Sometimes the coolest things are the ones you almost miss!

Walking the beach at night with no light, I noticed the faintest glow beneath some washed-up eelgrass. I moved it aside and uncovered this little gelatinous creature, roughly the size of a golf ball.

Then I touched it….and it lit up with it’s own incredible bioluminescence! 💙✨

It appears to be some kind of comb jelly (ctenophore), and while we’re used to seeing bioluminescence out on Tomales Bay, finding this little one producing its own light was a first for us!

So stoked that my phone was able to catch it on video!
