Item Description
SF Bay Whale Watching provides whale watching and natural history expeditions from San Francisco Bay to the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. Our full-day excursions unfold as you depart Gas House Cove, leave Fort Mason behind, pass beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, cruise past the 1877 Point Bonita Light House, and head out to sea, 27 miles offshore to the Farallon Islands—the "Devil's Teeth."
The Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary is one of the richest ecosystems on the planet. The sanctuary is home to twenty-six federally listed endangered or threatened species, including Marbled Murrelets, and the Leatherback Sea Turtle. Part of the planet's only recovering Blue Whale population regularly feeds in the sanctuary. Northern Elephant Seals, California and Steller Sea Lions breed or feed here, and Northern Fur Seals have resumed breeding on the islands for the first time in over 150 years.
