Located in Los Osos on the central coast of California, Orchid
Outriggers offers custom photography tours in hand-crafted outrigger
canoes.
If you are looking for an opportunity to see and experience the bay
in a whole new way, our friendly,
knowledgeable staff will be happy to guide you.
From the perspective of a naturalist or a birder, the Morro Bay
Estuary is perhaps the most uncommon of precious jewels. It is
separated and protected from the sea by a four mile long sand spit.
The estuary consists of over two thousand acres of tidal wetlands
which fill and drain twice a day as the tide ebbs and flows, just as
it has for the last 12,000 years.
This remarkable bay is dominated to the north by Morro Rock and, in its
afternoon shadow, the town of Morro Bay - the most picturesque
waterfront in California.
The southern end of the estuary is almost a mile wide, its eastern
shore bordering the unique town of Los Osos (home of Orchid
Outriggers) and the charming bayside community of Baywood Park.
This is a perfect
setting for photographers, birders, and anyone else interested in
experiencing nature at its finest.
Orchid Outriggers and
its guides are licensed by the California Department of Fish and
Game to provide guide services for bird watching, photography, and
scenic tours.
These guys are having some outrigger fun in a different way from
our tours, but they sure are having a great time!
