Farallon Islands with the Oceanic Society

For a dramatic nature outing on the water, consider a longer boat trip to the Farallon Islands for some wildlife and whale watching (blue and humpback whales). You'll have to postpone Mother's Day by a few weeks since the excursions don't start until the end of May. See the Oceanic Society Expeditions website for details and information.
