Awesome tour. Having an electric boat is so great - it doesn’t disturb the wildlife, and easy to carry on conversations and no gasoline odor. The ladies conducting the tour were very knowledgeable and informative about the area and the wildlife and very accommodating even loaning us binoculars. Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour, electric boat is perfect, quiet. Captain Marina and naturalist Adam couldn’t have been better. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! Our family includes die-hard nature lovers, and people who are more skeptical about doing things outdoors, and this was a hit with everyone. Aaron and Joe are knowledgeable and personable, and they are persons with knowledge. Definitely suggest making time for this activity during your time in Monterey. We saw honest to god otters! Also great bird wildlife, sea lions, and more!
