Come join us for a day of excitement and wonder! The American Cetacean Society (ACS) is the oldest whale conservation group in the world. Founded in 1967, it is a non-profit, volunteer membership organization with regional U.S. chapters and members in 22 countries.

We'll board the the exciting whale watching catamaran, Condor Express in Santa Barbara Harbor at 8 a.m., and venture out into the great Santa Barbara Channel.

The unique biodiversity of this area is bound to provide us fascinating encounters.

We'll watch for northbound migrating gray whales and their calves along the coast, then cross the Channel toward Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Islands, where humpbacks spend part of their summers.

Other marine life we could see in the Channel: early blue whales, minke whales, common dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, Pacific white-sided dolphin, northern rightwhale dolphin, Risso's dolphin, killer whales, California sea lions, harbor seals, and elephant seals.

Marine mammal and natural history experts will join us.

We'll return around 4 p.m. but if we see something too fascinating to pass up, our return time could be delayed.

Cancellation policy: TICKETS ARE NON REFUNDABLE unless cancelled by the boat landing. Please consider your unused ticket a donation to ACS.

Thank you for your support!
