Description:

Monterey Seabirds features year-round pelagic trips enabling you to experience the seabirds of the Monterey Bay in their respective seasons. Just offshore of Monterey, California lies a 6000-foot deep submarine canyon running right down the middle of the Monterey Bay. Similar in size to the Grand Canyon of the American Southwest, this geologic feature creates cold-water upwellings, rich in nutrients that foster a remarkable diversity of seabirds and cetaceans. The combination of these elements within a semi-protected bay makes Monterey a worldwide destination for pelagic birding. Just a few miles from shore one can observe pelagic seabirds that travel across both the hemisphere and the ocean to feed in the bountiful waters of Monterey Bay. In the interest of having a reasonably sized group conducive to pelagic birding and photography, space is limited to 24 participants. The About Monterey Seabirds page details the advantages of Monterey Seabirds trips. See our Species List and Trip Reports to get an idea of the seabirds and marine mammals encountered on these trips. Our Seabird Links will help with your trip preparation, study and other interesting information on seabirds. We are currently seeing Laysan Albatross and we regularly see Black-footed Albatross on our whale watch trips. Join us on one of our whale watch tripswhere we regularly have seabird sightings.

I just wanted to thank you all for one of the most enjoyable and exciting pelagic trips I have ever been on. I have done a number of pelagic trips on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and by far - yours was the best. The small number of attendees, the ratio of guides to attendees as well as the abilities and collective knowledge of the guides made the trip! Of the 6 of us, 3 were attending their first ever pelagic trip and were very impressed with your company, the experience, and the sightings. Glenn had 12 life birds and we all had the experience of a lifetime watching the killer whales. On behalf of all 6 of us - please thank your staff for everything they did to make our trip such a wonderful experience. Thank you. Mary Alice K. (Centreville, Virginia) (See the trip report for this trip, including a video of the killer whales near the boat.)
