The summer kayaking season is in full swing and the Humboats crew has been busy hauling kayaks and gear around to all of Humboldt county\'s hotspots. We can be found guiding whale watching trips by kayak out of Trinidad Bay or running kayak/swimming tours in the refreshingly cool South fork Eel river.

Our dockside shop on Woodley island marina is the best place around for easy access to the water with the counties largest rental fleet of kayaks and canoes including tandems and 3 person boats.

**Our rental shop will** be closed from July 18-24th. Tours are are available by reservation.
