SHARKTOBER FARALLON ISLAND ADVENTURE
Sharktober is coming and with it our country is overcoming COVID. We will again run trips after the first hiatus in over 10 years. Coastal upwelling is making this year one of the most productive in years with Blue, Fin and Humpback Whales abounding in the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. We have one event scheduled September 5, September 25 and more coming in the fall of 2021.
We have a new vessel and COVID safety policy for the 2021 season. We require proof of vaccination or a covid negative test at the dock before boarding. Lack of this proof will require refusal without refund.
We are sanitizing before and after each trip and require masks the cabin. Please help us keep these trips fun and safe for everyone’s benefit, including the captain and crew.
We are excited you are joining us!

Farallon Islands
After over a decade of sharing these incredible expeditions, we regret that we will not be able to run any field classes or public expeditions into our Sanctuary to see sharks, seabirds and other marine life.
We hope to resume in 2021.
June 23, 2021 @ 8:00 am - July 3, 2021 @ 5:00 pm Join Shark Steward’s Director David McGuire on a unique science education, photographic opportunity and the shark adventure of a lifetime. Talks, films and hands-on activities will make this trip unique, but it is the mantas that steal the show!
