An afternoon of Whale Watching with the Oceanic Society in Half Moon Bay. The annual gray whale migration is one of the world’s most magnificent and accessible wildlife spectacles. Each year, thousands of gray whales migrate from their summer feeding grounds around Alaska down to Baja California and back. Their migration pathway follows closely along the California coast, providing us with outstanding opportunities for coastal whale watching in Half Moon Bay.
Afterward, we’ll head down the coast to beautiful Butano Creek in Pescadero where we’ll sleep in cabins (25 per cabin), cook, and (weather permitting), see some banana slugs (maybe Mr. Screechfield can teach us the Banana Slug Song!) on a hike.
Contact Mrs Wong (925-525-0345) for questions.

Additional ASM or registered parent needed as second adult. Please email me (dasrkims@yahoo.com) by this Saturday if you are interested.
