We go out most days, but it’s always good to call ahead to be sure there are no unexpected scheduling changes, and if course, we do cancel for bad weather.

Per the website: Tours will depart at the discretion of the Captain, who will use all tools available to discern if conditions are suitable. As a policy, we err on the side of caution and will not subject our guests to unsafe or unreasonably uncomfortable conditions. We will not go out in heavy rain or wind, but light drizzle and mist is not grounds for us to cancel, and can actually offer exceptional wildlife viewing. Under such conditions we will provide tarps, blankets, and/or umbrellas to make our guests as comfortable as possible.
Limited days for tours? Will be in the area on a Tuesday in September, any hope if a tour?

Per their website: Elkhorn Slough Safari wildlife viewing tours can be scheduled every day of the week and last approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. As we want to show you the most wildlife possible, tour times vary week to week and from season to season. We have the schedule for tours for over a year in advance. Please contact us with which days you are interested in, so we can give you the specific schedule for your days. Our tours go out all year round due to mild coastal climate and the exciting variety of wildlife that changes throughout the year.

I think we were told that no dogs were allowed, mainly because of the sea lions and sea otters and the close proximity that you may get. The wise thing would be to call ahead. I am not sure what the rules are with regard to service dogs. There may be very specific rulings on this type of activity with being able to refuse even service dogs due to the nature of the activity.
