Whale Watching

With Michael Ellis
Spend a day with renowned naturalist Michael Ellis for a look at the incredible marine mammals that present themselves at this time of year. From our vantage point at the lighthouse, we'll look for gray whales migrating towards northern feeding waters. Mothers and calves often pass close to shore, increasing our chance for good viewing. At Chimney Rock, the second stop of the day, northern elephant seals will be hauled out, and we'll watch females sunning themselves while males spar. Many weaned pups should still be around, as well. Michael will guide us in viewing them and tell us all about their lives and remarkable comeback to this area. Don't miss this special day of learning, humor and camaraderie at the point.
