Offshore Adventures

Visit Cordell Bank & Bodega Canyon, Northern California's premiere sea birding destinations

Winter Pelagics

Lesser run, but regarded by many as the "prime time" for seabird excursions in California, given the concentration of cold-water species in our oceans. We primarily target species such as Flesh-footed & Short-tailed Shearwaters and always hope for something rare such as a Short-tailed Albatross. Contact Us to Reserve a Spot!

Spring Pelagics

Our speciality here in Bodega Bay, and our most regularly run trips. Seemingly always success boats which typically span between March-May, this trip is perfect to target both Murphy's & Hawaiian Petrels which can be extremely challenging to find in US waters outside of repositioning cruises. Other species observed in the past include Parakeet Auklet & Cook's Petrel. Contact Us to Reserve a Spot!

Autumn Pelagics

Though the most regularly run, these trips offer the exciting opportunity to look for migrating tubenoses on their southward migration to the southern hemisphere to breed. Species such as  Buller's Shearwater, Short-tailed Shearwater and flocks of storm-petrels are regularly obsevered at this time of year. We never know what to expect, adding to its mystery and excitement. Contact Us to Reserve a Spot!
