Captain and the naturalist on the tour were knowledgeable about the wildlife and conservation efforts in Elkhorn Slough. There was an abundance of wildlife to be seen and my 9 yr old enjoyed it too! I liked that the boat was all electric, environmentally friendly and quiet.

Great way to spend a few hours in a relaxing setting. Quiet, eco-friendly catamaran with a great captain and naturalist. Breezy ride in May so bring a blanket or dress warm!

It was fun! Very informative and fun to see the sea otters in the water. Definitely learned about interesting creatures I’ve never heard of! Would love to return during evening/night to see the bioluminescence in the water!
