![]() NPS Photo / S. Tevebaugh ![]() Map of the Day Tour Reserve your ticket with our commercial partner![]() One of the first highlights of the day is a stop at South Marble Island. The vessel cruises very close to the small isolated island to observe seabirds and marine mammals. Be sure you are outside to see, hear and even smell the creatures that live here. Tufted and Horned Puffins and their cousins the Common Murre nest here alongside Pelagic Cormorants and Black-legged Kittiwakes. Steller Sea Lions haul out here between feeding because of the convenient location, flat, smooth rocks, and nearby feeding grounds. There may be over 300 sea lions clustered on the rocks together, growling and roaring as they wrestle for the best resting spot. Listen to the symphony of the Marble Islands! ![]() ![]() ![]() Be prepared. Bring warm clothes and rain gear. Bring binoculars and cameras. And, don’t forget to bring your sense of wonder.
