About This Tour
Enjoy a 3 hour cruise to search for and see local seabirds of the Monterey Bay. A vessel under sail is much quieter and therefore up close encounters with seabirds are common. This tour is great for birders who are looking for an intimate adventure where they will enjoy the perks of a front row seat to get their lifetime viewings and photos. Commonly sighted seabirds include but are not limited to: Osprey, Loons, Scoters, Guillimots, Common Murre, Brown Pelicans, Boobies, Gulls, Shearwaters, Albatross, Coromorants, Auklets, and much more.
