Our Story

Join us on exciting adventures from Pier 39 in San Francisco. We head out into the San Francisco Bay, pass Alcatraz Island, head under the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and explore all the amazing whales and wildlife our waters have to offer. Every tour is a unique experience. During the winter months we find gray whales anywhere from Angel Island to the Point Bonita Lighthouse and beyond. In the spring and summer humpback whales return each year to the San Francisco Bay to feed often times with mothers and calves fattening up for winter. It is time to check this must-do item off your bucket list. See you on the boat!
