Elkhorn Slough Safari — Local services in Watsonville Water Treatment Plant

This tour was great. We went on a day with great weather, very bright and sunny. We all wore weatherproof jackets and beanies just because it does get a little cold on the water. Went with kids ages 11, 5 and 3. Covid had everyone spaced out and safe. The tour was very relaxing and we saw tons of Sea Lions, Otters and Seals. Lots of different diving birds and we'll as Pelicans. We had a lady captain and another staff member give us all details of the different animals we came across. If I could give a suggestion, seeing that it's a new company.. They should invest in a small picture option in front of the electric catamaran. And have a printable option when you leave the boat. Also maybe because it's considered a "clean eco friendly" tour, maybe create a scannable code that gives more details to all the different animals and birds you may see from your phone. Overall awesome experience just wished we had the option to have someone take a family picture. Family's love that cheesy cardboard cutout...

Elkhorn Slough Safari is around 60 Miles South of San Jose, CA. Safari tour departs from Moss Landing South Harbor. I took this tour few years back along with several Photographers, who were interested to capture pictures of Birds, Sea Lions, Sea Lions and Harbor Seals. Tour itself is around 1.5 - 2 hrs long. You will be able to see several species of birds during this tour. You will also see folks fishing in this area. You will see several harbor seals and sea otters.The tours are offered through out the year. Regular tours costs as of now $39 (However tours are closed due to Covid-19). There are seasonal special tours costs from $40 - $50. Due to the mild weather in San Francisco bay area, you will be able to see animal habitat through out the year. Service was awesome, highly recommend...

Great tour with our guide Zane. We booked the 1 ½ hour safari and the crew worked hard at describing to us all the nature in the Slough. Sea Lions, seals, otters, and a million types of birds. Zane was always very informative and answering question as the guests inquired. The captain would slow the boat down so everyone on board, had a chance to view the sighting being discussed. The Safari is on a small open catamaran, so everyone has a good view! We are in the bay, so there is only a little rocking. There is no roof, so bring a hat. They supply binoculars (one per each two-person bench seat). Also, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cookies were provided. Since this was a midday cruise, it was a little too warm for us to try, but it would have been perfect for a evening or...
