Item Description

 

Many have pondered about life under the sea from the beaches and overlooks across Point Reyes National Seashore. Here's your chance to dive deeper into the oceanic ecology surrounding the park with this special package for two from our friends at San Francisco Whale Tours and the Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco.

Start your educational journey with a visit to the Aquarium of the Bay, located on Pier 39 in San Francisco. Explore the magic, beauty and wonder of Pacific Ocean, which holds some of the largest diversity of life in the world.  Your visit will take you through three main exhibit areas that help you discover what lies beneath the surface of our watery world:

Discover the Bay: Featuring the distinctive ecosystems that support an incredibly wide variety of marine life.

Under the Bay: Stroll through 300 feet of crystal clear tunnels featuring over 20,000 marine animals from San Francisco Bay and nearby waters.

Touch the Bay: The ocean and some of it's creatures are literally at your finger tips, showcasing touch pools with sharks, rays and sea stars, and the interactive Bay Lab station.

Continue the journey with an exciting all-day whale watching boat trip out to the Farallon Islands with San Francisco Whale Tours aboard the Kitty Kat. The Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary is one of the most unique ecosystems. Whale sightings are our number one goal. We want everyone to feel comfortable and safe on all our trips, so we take every precaution to insure that you are. Our trips are designed for out of town tourists and locals alike, so be our guest, keep your eyes peeled, and enjoy the cruise.

Point Reyes National Seashore Association will also provide the highest bidder with a copy of Whales and Other Marine Mammals of California and Baja by Tamara Eder. This beautiful full-color book features photos, illustrations and range maps, as well as notes on conservation status, quick ID, similar species and more.

A whale of a gift, bid today!
