Birding on the Madaket

This summer, we are offering three Birding on the Madaket boat tours! Join us for a two-hour fundraising birding tour aboard the historic Madaket vessel as we explore Humboldt Bay in Eureka, CA. Tours will be led by Godwit Days board members and expert bird guides on July 20, August 24, and September 21.

The Madaket is California's oldest active passenger vessel and home to the state's smallest licensed bar. Beverages will be available for purchase on board.

Meet at the Madaket loading dock at the foot of "C" St. in Old Town Eureka. Tickets must be purchased in advance online at godwitdays.org. The cost is $50, with proceeds supporting the 2026 Godwit Days festival.

Don't forget your binoculars and camera, and dress in layers to prepare for possible cool breezes and changing coastal weather!
