Monterey Bay All Day Expeditions

ALL DAY EXPEDITIONS give us the freedom to explore the Outer Bay, search for more species, and linger longer with the amazing wildlife of Monterey Bay.

Our All Day tours in April and May are scheduled to make the most of Killer Whale Season, when mammal-hunting Bigg’s (transient) orcas patrol the deep Monterey Canyon to ambush northbound gray whale calves. For many wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, the chance to witness this “National Geographic moment” in real life is worth traveling halfway around the world. Seeing this from our open boat makes the experience even more memorable. Humpback whales usually arrive in Spring and sometimes harass the killer whales.

We can also schedule All Day Expeditions during the Summer and Fall, so if you’re keen to spend more time with humpbacks and increase your chances of seeing blue whales, fin whales, offshore dolphins species like Northern right-whale dolphins, or even beaked whales, please email us with your dates. We love the seabirds too so tell us if you want to see albatrosses, shearwaters, auklets, and Spring/Fall migrants.

Meeting Location

  • Moss Landing Public Boat Ramp (north harbor) (Moss Landing, CA), near Elkhorn Yacht Club
  • Note: Moss Landing is 25 miles north of Monterey, halfway to Santa Cruz.
  • Also, our wildlife-rich location is away from the main harbor where all other boats load.
  • Please read the driving directions and don’t rely on Google.
  • Be sure to pay for parking

What makes us so unique and different from other boats is our vessel. Our Ranger provides a low to the water, open platform that is ideal for wildlife viewing and photography. We can easily travel faster than other boats, allowing us to reach spectacular destinations and wildlife in a shorter time, though we are careful to moderate our speed in respect for the wildlife. Once we stop to enjoy a sighting, our engines are nearly silent at idle, and we often turn them off to soak in the natural sounds.
