If it works out, I think kayaking in the Elkhorn Slough would be the best and most memorable part of your trip. It's something you can experience only here. Sea otters are some of the cutest creatures you'll ever see.
BTW, I think the Elkhorn Slough is vastly superior than the Monterey Bay for kayaking -- for novices, at least. The water on the bay can get choppy, and you are less likely to encounter marine mammals up close.
