It was so great! Quiet boat so it didn’t disturb the wildlife. We saw so many sea otters , sea lions and birds. The captain and guide were so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the wildlife. I highly recommend it.

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!
