Calm and relaxing tour in a beautiful environment. The electric powered boat is what sold me - relatively quiet and no fumes.
Naturalist was passionate and knowledgeable and had interesting information to share, but the only complaint is that her voice often could not be heard, and my family member who wears hearing aids unfortunately missed all of her comments.
Terrific trip

An absolutely memorable experience! Captain Wendy and Guide Helena did a great job in explaining the wildlife, answering questions and promoting the Elkhorn Slough’s bountiful wildlife and beauty. We were fortunate to set out on a picture perfect day and with the ultra quiet electric boat, had the chance to really “commune” with nature. Very highly recommended this tour specifically because of the guide, captain and electric boat. You won’t be disappointed!
Great outdoor choice for tough-to-please crowds

Highly recommend! Our family includes die-hard nature lovers, and people who are more skeptical about doing things outdoors, and this was a hit with everyone. Aaron and Joe are knowledgeable and personable, and they are persons with knowledge. Definitely suggest making time for this activity during your time in Monterey. We saw honest to god otters! Also great bird wildlife, sea lions, and more!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
