Explore the Elkhorn Slough aboard the @elkhornsloughsafari! Just south of Santa Cruz is a wildlife haven and sea village known as Moss Landing where visitors can explore the unique coastal slough habitat that is largely responsible for rehabilitating sea otter populations in California. The best way to explore the slough is to see it by boat with an amazing guide like you can experience with @elkhornsloughsafari. Aboard this pontoon explorer, visitors will get to see a huge variety of sea life up close and personal including sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, and a vast variety of birds. This unique experience is a must for anyone’s #santacruzbucketlist and it’s only 30 minutes outside of Santa Cruz! Have you ever explored Elkhorn Slough before?
