Beautiful day, very nice boat, great commentary. I took my grandchildren and they learned A lot. The 14 year old said he has to write an essay for school so he's going to write it about the slough. We saw lots of otters, some eating housekeeper worms. That was a highlight for the kids.

Great tour on the Elkhorn Slough. Quiet Electric boat. Very nice captain and naturalist. We have taken other tours of the slough and this one was the best!
