Take a boat tour this summer with refuge staff and view California's Galapagos. Farallon National Wildlife Refuge, Oceanic Society and San Francisco Whale Tours have teamed up to offer discounted boat tours of the Farallon Islands to view their rugged beauty, breeding seabirds, seals, and sea lions, and perhaps some whales. Each tour will feature narration by Farallon National Wildlife Refuge staff from the islands, the wilderness, and the abundant wildlife. Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, and help us commemorate the 40th anniversary of Farallon Islands' designation as wilderness. Cost $65 per person.* Hurry, discounted tickets are limited!
