Where to see Otters in Monterey Bay
The Elkhorn Slough has the highest concentration of Southern Sea Otters of anywhere in California. We have a resident population of about 140 otters. For over 30 years, Elkhorn Slough Safari Nature Boat Tours have been the best way to experience this adorable species in the wild. You are guaranteed to see dozens of Sea Otters on any one of our Safari boat tours.
Pups are kept warm and dry resting on mom’s belly.

Sea Otters do not have a pupping season, so we regularly see moms with pups throughout the year!
