Join us aboard the CONDOR for one of the premier pelagic trips on the South-Central California coast! The CONDOR is an excellent platform to take you to the outer offshore waters west of the Santa Barbara Channel. Most of our trips concentrate on the Arguello Canyon, Rodriguez Dome & the San Juan Seamount. These deep canyons and high seamounts create tremendous upwellings and are the meeting grounds for the cold water Alaskan Current from the north with the much warmer Davidson  Current from the south. The result is a VERY dynamic and food rich body of water that attracts a wonderful variety of offshore birds. Birders  get a rare opportunity to add many species to their "Life List" !All of our trips feature well known, respected leaders with extensive local knowledge. The CONDOR crew have traveled these waters for years and will compliment the trip with narrative about the natural history of the area. Many whales, dolphins and pinnapeds can also be seen so be prepared for a full day. The CONDOR's comfortable accommodations and complete indoor galley make for an enjoyable, relaxing way to see the outer waters! Join us on one of our scheduled trips.
