This wildlife tour was awesome and well worth it. Highly recommend. The guide did a great job of explaining all of the cool wildlife we saw. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Recommend eating at Phil's Fish Market before/after. Great food/cool atmosphere and is super close by.

Excellent tour. The quiet electric motors enhance the experience, as does the knowledge and friendly naturalist. It's a perfect way to experience the location and the abundant wildlife.

Very knowledgeable naturalist! The boat was an electric catamaran. Clean, quiet, and comfortable. We saw sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters, and many species of sea and water birds. The naturalist knew them all! Both he and the driver were super friendly. We will be back.
