Seal the deal and take this “wild” ride - It’s not a view you’ll get anywhere else. It was a delightful cruise through the slough and the guides KNOW their stuff which made the trip educational and interesting. We highly recommend you bring binoculars to see the animals up close! We saw some otter babies on our trip. You won’t want to miss it. Altogether wonderful smooth experience on a brand new catamaran. Very professional and kind guides. Highly recommend!

Naturalist Information - Arron was our naturalist guide. He was very informative. My only complaint was about Joey, our captain who was also a naturalist and therefore I'm sure very well informed. I'm sure he was doing his best to answer questions put to him by other passengers on the boat, but he was speaking so loudly that it interfered with what Aaron was saying. He should have kept his conversation with the one or two passengers he was engaged with at a noise level that didn't overpower the information being presented by the "official" spokesperson. Perhaps they should have "tag-teamed" and shared their knowledge with us all

The Elkhorn Slough is a Gem! - This location is amazing, and the tour is fantastic! Joey drove the Electric Catamaran, and Aaron served as the naturalist. Both were excellent, with Aaron really unlocking some of the little-known facts about the birds, sea mammals (Sea Otters, Sea Lions, Harbor Seals), as well as the fishes that inhabit the Elkhorn Slough. The adults were engrossed in his presentation, but even the kids enjoyed the sights and sounds. This experience is unforgettable!

Lovely and informative trip. - Excellent trip! We have done several other tours of the Elkhorn Slough and it is always a bit different. But this was the best because of the superb guide who was a treasure trove of interestung information. He even leaned over the side and scooped up a small Valella valella ("By-the-wind sailor") jellyfish and showed it to us. We saw lots of otters, seals, and sea lions and although it was not the right season for many bird species, we also saw many types of birds unique to that environment.

This was a wonderful... - This was a wonderful experience. The guides were exceptional. We saw seals, otters, brown and white pelicans and a plethora of other birds. We learned about the slough ecosystem. It was entertaining and educational. I highly recommended this for all people. Easy for little children and seniors. Please treat yourself to this wonderful experience.

Lots of animals and very... - Lots of animals and very insightful guides (especially Erin). You’ll definitely learn something new and cool!

So many animal sightings - So many animals sightings!! Aaron was great, incredibly knowledgeable and answered all the questions. What a great experience. I can’t wait to come back

Wonderful close up experience. - Enjoyed the close experience with the creatures. Our guide was very knowledgeable teaching about the creatures, their habitat and answering any questions from the group.

Great Experience - We had a fun experience! The tour guides were very informative and made it interesting. Adding on, it was very environmentally friendly.

Beautiful day on the slough! - Monterey Bay eco tours provided a wonderful, quiet float on the slough in their new all electric open air vessel. The ride was comfortable and stable, allowing us to move around the boat for viewing. Our guide, Aaron, was very knowledgeable and welcomed questions. Highly recommended!
