The trips range from 6 to 8 hours. The Steller Sunrise is a 43 foot vessel that has a restroom and covered seating. Items to bring include something to eat and drink, cameras, binoculars, wind breakers and pants and short boots are suggested. If you are subject to motion sickness we recommend Meclizine (most pharmacies carry this over-the-counter).

We will be looking for all species of albatrosses, shearwaters, storm-petrels and more. Sea mammals such as whales and dolphins are in the area. Professional spotters will be on board.
