Whale Watching

Whale Watching and Wildlife Adventures

SF Bay ACS chapter partners with select whale watch operators to offer you a unique and memorable experience getting up-close-and-personal with some of the most majestic animals on the planet. When you book your whale watching trip through a SF Bay ACS provider, you have peace of mind that those operators adhere to the highest ethical standards in the whale watch industry – that they treat whales and other wildlife respectfully, give passengers accurate and educational information about marine wildlife, and support conservation and protection efforts and organizations like ACS.

Whale watching trips are an invaluable component of ACS’s educational programs, and also serve as fundraising events to support our education, conservation, and research grant-making programs.

Please contact us to check times of Scheduled Whale watching trips or to Create a trip just for your group.

We partner with several San Francisco boat operators for educational trips for school groups to the sea and maritime traditions. Call or email to create a trip for your group.

ACS sponsors several whale and dolphin watching trips throughout the year, many of which are focused on a particular species (e.g., Pacific gray whales) or suite of species (blue, humpback, and fin whales) during seasonal migration and/or feeding periods. Whether you’re interested in a half- or full-day excursion to experience humpbacks, blue whales, killer whales, resident coastal dolphins, or dreaming of a multiple-day, safari-style adventure to get up-close-and-personal with migrating Pacific Gray Whales in the calving lagoons of San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, Mexico, SF Bay ACS ensures that your experience is engaging, memorable, and life-transforming!
