Elkhorn Slough Safari

One of the most popular day trips is visiting the Elkhorn Slough. Many of our guests take the Elkhorn Slough Safari. The stable pontoon boat and its naturalist guide take you on an exploration of the calm backwaters of the second largest wetland in California. You will see sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, and thousands of birds. This is one of the best ways to see the highest number of sea otters. At the bed and breakfast many of the professional and amatuer photographers charter the safari to go out for a very special wildlife photo session. Guests come back to the inn full of stories of wonderful wildlife watching. For example an otter cracking open a clam to eat, pelicans diving to get sardines, or the baby seal nursing.

Small and Elegant Wedding

This fine couple was recently married here by our Captain Yohn. They chose to have a small, intimate wedding to confirm their commitment to each other. They were able to have an elegant event followed by a dinner in a small, private banquet room in the Lemongrass restaurant just a few blocks from the Captain's Inn. They made many memories without draining their pocket book. Following the wedding, these avid geocachers placed a wedding cache here in Moss Landing to commerate their nuptials. If you find the cache, you will get to sign their wedding guest registry held inside. We wish them both a very happy and fufilling life together.

BLUES

The whale watching has really been wonderful this summer. If you like whales, you should get to the coast before the summer is out. They have been seeing blue whales and humpbacks plus other dolphins and porpoises too, killer whales even. We can help you get discounts on your adventure.
Quote from one of our guests', Brian, on our local trip: "We saw lots of humpbacks including a "family" of a big male, an adult female and a youngster. They did antics for us for close to 1/2 hour. Lots more humpbacks and we finally headed to a different location and saw 4 or 5 big blue whales although nothing really close, like the humpbacks. The young humpback crossed right in front of the bow a couple of times and right past the stern about 25 feet away at least once. The bay was calm. There was some light breeze with about 3-4 ft swells for awhile and then it calmed even more toward mid-day. I did not catch the names of the crew but they were really nice. The skipper is a retired Navy Master Chief "

This photo is of blue whales and was taken by a another guest G. Murphy, just this morning,
