Great outdoor activity for all ages. The tour guide/naturalist on board was friendly, knowledgeable and had many wonderful anecdotes. We saw many groups of otters with pups, harbor seals lounging on shore many different species of birds. Would highly recommend this wildlife tour!

We took our granddaughter age 10 for the tour of Elkhorn Slough. It was very well organized and the naturalist on board gave an excellent commentary. We saw a great many otters with pups, large groups of pelicans and some harbor seals. It was a nice way to do something safely with our granddaughter outside.
