Just returned from a nature tour of the Ano Nuevo Park near Half Moon Bay California. The tour was arranged by the San Francisco Tour Guide Guild as a training tour.
We stopped first at Half Moon Bay to see where the surfers surf the mavarick waves. We learnt that Maverick was actually a dog who enjoyed the water!!
Later we spent some free time in Half Moon Bay before continuing south the the park. Here we met a ranger who took us on a 1.5 hour walk to see the Elephant Seals. There were hundreds of them and a couple of bulls started a fight!! We learnt that the females have one baby a year. They can dive down to 1 mile deep and can be without oxygen for up to 2 hours although generally it is less than that.
All in all it was most enjoyable and the weather was great which of course helps.
