This was a super fun tour!! Very educational & informative - we loved the wetland surroundings and opportunity to explore the wildlife in the slough-marshland. The tour guide & boat captain were friendly & knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend this to visitors upon staying in the area.

Lovely adventure; saw sea otters, harbor seals and seal lions as well as lots of different birds. The offered blankets and binoculars if needed and the commentary was interesting and informative. Enjoyed every minute! A highlight of our trip!!!
