Awesome day! I brought my mother and my daughter and we all had a great time. The electric boat is new, quiet, and clean. We got to see all kinds of birds and otters and other wildlife and the tour guide explained everything. What a great day@

Very knowledgeable guides! Every question that was asked they had an answer for. We saw sea lions, otters (and their babies!), harbor seals, and many different birds, including herons and cormorants. They drove very slowly so you can really watch the wildlife. Even still, I'd recommend having binoculars. Very positive experience.

We have visited Elkhorn Slough several times but our Captain & our guide made it very special & informative. We saw so many otters 🦦 & their babies. A truly great experience.
