Sharktober Farallon Island Expeditions


Join Shark Stewards on our unique Sharktober educational adventures to the Farallon Islands.

Updated 09/01/2025

Join Director David McGuire, and other naturalists celebrating sharks in a life changing experience searching the Gulf of the Farallones for whales, wildlife and our finny friends. Join us on an expedition outside the Golden Gate for amazing wildlife and photo opportunities 28 miles across the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary on an expedition to the Devil’s Teeth.

We only book in fall when the white sharks return and the weather is clement for our passengers. We focus on shark conservation and the health of the entire marine ecosystem in our newly expanded National Marine Sanctuary. Although we will seek and talk about sharks- these trips are conservation and outdoor marine education and not shark watching trips. But we are permitted to use a decoy and we do talk shark!

We meet at the Vessel at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf by 0730 to begin boarding for an 0800 departure. These trips are usually 8-8.5 hours hours but may run over when we see something exciting.

If you cant join us, please consider a tax deductible Donation so we can continue working to reduce commercial shark catch, bycatch and maintain support for our marine protected areas and Sanctuaries.
