Whale Watching trips with FMSA

Saturday, August 23rd
Saturday, September 13th
Saturday, October 19th
Saturday, November 8th


Summer is a great time to experience the diverse wildlife of Gulf of the Farallones National
Marine Sanctuary. We focus on humpback whale sightings, hoping to see the rare blue whale,
but may encounter harbor porpoise, seals, sea lions, elephant seals or any other of the 36
species of marine mammals found in sanctuary waters. An excellent place to look for seabirds;
shearwaters & cormorants and there’s a chance of seeing the Tufted Puffin. White sharks begin
to appear, drawn by both juvenile and elephant seal pups. Our knowledgeable naturalist will
lead us in an exciting journey of wildlife exploration and discovery.


Weather permitting we'll see the Farallon Islands up close. Departs from the San Francisco Marina. 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. Trips are $85 for non-members and $78 for members. Spaces are limited and fill up quickly.

For more more information, whale watch trip gift certificates, or to register;
