This tour includes a knowledgeable naturalist guide and a graciously curious Captain.

Our vessel Sea Lion has a fully enclosed and windowed cabin that seats 24, plus outdoor covered seating. There is also a walk around deck, seating on the bow and a large bathroom. On board we provide blankets, jackets, wildlife field guides, wildlife books and maps.
