Trip to Sea on the Telstar with the Noyo Center for Marine Science
Join us on a 2-hour trip to sea on the Telstar. Noyo Center for Marine Science Naturalists and Telstar Captain Sean Thornton lead this excursion from the harbor out on the Pacific to learn about gray whales and other marine life off our coast. This time of year we should see gray whales and lots of other interesting things along the way, so don’t forget the binoculars.
We will depart from the dock at the Slack Tide Cafe at 10 AM. At 9:30AM one of our naturalists will give an orientation about the trip and tell you about the Happy Whale app for persons interested in learning about that. We will also learn about the WhaleSafe technology now being used to help prevent ship strikes from occurring between whales and ocean vessels.
Tickets are $50 per person. No individuals under 5 years old are allowed on this trip. You will receive a full description of how to prepare for the trip and what to bring with you upon completion of registration.
The Slack Tide Cafe is open from 8AM-3PM, Thursday-Monday, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until 7PM. We serve an array of breakfast fare, excellent coffee and espresso drinks in the morning to nourish you for the trip. And we are open for lunch, so stick around and hang out after the journey to sea.
