The Farallon Islands are 27 miles off the coast of San Francisco in the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. This Sanctuary is a haven for whales, sharks, Portuguese Man of War JellyFish and sea lions. Recently we spotted a great white shark on a tour. NOTE: On days we have scheduled the Farallon Island Tours, if the weather is bad or conditions rough, we MAY decide to head North to Point Reyes instead. Whales have been already spotted heading North this year.

Point Reyes is the furthest point of land in this area and is famous for adventures as far back as the times of Sir Francis Drake. This tour goes to the Point Reyes LightHouse and Back. In the spring, the mother whales hug the coast with their babies to protect them from predators such as Orcas. Some Grey whales have already been spotted heading north. The Point Reyes tour passes two historical lighthouses and hugs the scenic Northern California Coast.

The Cost is $75.00 per person. This is not recommended for small children under 8 and children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult. NEW!! You can make online reservations with your credit card at: www.sfbayimages.com
You simply select the date, how many people, and make your reservation. We will call you to confirm the Wednesday before. No cancellations after the Wednesday before the trip.

This is a wildlife and nature tour, bring layers WARM of clothes with something waterproof, a lunch snack, beverages and bring your camera.

Trish, an expert naturalist on whales and the area, will narrate and tell pieces of history, point out marine life and explain what you see. Her talk is worth the trip.

Departing from Sausalito at 7:00 AM sharp and returning around 12:30 and always by 1:00 pm. The trip departs from Schoonmaker Harbor and directions can be found on our contact us page.

The tours are aboard the vessel "Taku", a coast guard certified 50 foot boat, and will be piloted by a captain experienced in nature tours. The boat holds 49 passengers and we usually only have 30 so it is very comfortable.

It is whale watching season and chances are pretty good that we will see grey whales on our way out to the islands. It takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to get out to the islands. We are not allowed to dissembark and walk on the islands, but will circumnavigate and see what there is to see. Depending on the weather depends on how long we will spend out there.

If you are interested please call our offices to reserve a space. We confirm the trip the Wednesday before. No Cancellations after the Wednesday before. We will be leaving on timely basis so please be prompt. We leave early so as to enjoy the smoothest trip. No cancellations for weather. Unless it is storming, we always go.
