Wonderful guided wildlife boat tour in the Elkhorn Slough. Waterways very calm. Great for kids and adults.

We loved this open air electric boat eco tour - we saw so many more sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, and bird species than we were expecting! It was a terrific experience for adults, teens, and children alike. Our captain and nature guide were knowledgeable and friendly and opened our eyes up to so many aspects of the region and wildlife. Our only regret was that we hadn’t thought to do this on our previous trips to the Monterey or Carmel area.

We had a great time on the tour. The guides were knowledgeable and informative. The boat was sturdy and quite. The kids could walk from side to side to view the wildlife.
