View the Farallon Islands by boat:
The Farallon Islands have had a long history. The name "Farallon" loosely translates from the Spanish as a guiding entity such as a lighthouse. The islands have always been a more visible landmark from far out to sea than the actual California Coast which is frequently shrouded in coastal haze or dense fog.

Native Americans occasionally visited the islands where they gathered eggs and other natural resources from the rocks that occasionally appeared in the distance on clear days.

The Farallon Islands were visited frequently over the centuries by Europeans long before the Golden Gate and San Francisco Bay were even discovered. Gold Rush era entrepreneurs gathers seabird eggs by the millions to feed hungry minors, visitors and settlers to the growing Bay Area.

Today, the islands are home to research scientists and other government employees, but closed to visitors from the mainland.

The only way to see the islands is by boat!

We will be there to watch the sharks in their natural environment. While sharks may not be found on every trip, you will certainly have the best possible chance to see these apex predators in this major breeding grounds where they gather each year while food is most plentiful.

The data, pictures and video we gather will be provided to various scientific organizations to help better understand and protect this incredible creature of the sea.
