Overview

Enjoy a 3 hour cruise to search for and see local seabirds of the Monterey Bay. A vessel under sail is much quieter and therefore up close encounters with seabirds are common. This tour is great for birders who are looking for an intimate adventure where they will enjoy the perks of a front row seat to get their lifetime viewings and photos.

Commonly sighted seabirds include but are not limited to: Osprey, Loons, Scoters, Guillimots, Common Murre, Brown Pelicans, Boobies, Gulls, Shearwaters, Albatross, Coromorants, Auklets, and much more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Private 3 hour Bird Watching Tour in Monterey Bay?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
