Sunrise Photography Tours

A park ranger will lead the tour into and through the elephant seal rookery. Since this access is early in the morning and before the normal guided walks for the public begin, a van will be used to facilitate the tour and to reduce the amount of walking. Each tour is limited to 8 people. This is a unique opportunity to photograph the elephant seals at sunrise, when the animals are most active. The sun will rise between 7:07 a.m. and 7:18 a.m. on these days. The park ranger will escort photographers to optimal viewing locations for the elephant seals at Año Nuevo Point. Please note, however, that all viewing access is predicated on public safety and the protection of park resources within state and federal law. In past years the tours have sold out in days, so please don't delay if you would like to take advantage of this opportunity. The tickets for this fundraiser are $250 per person (plus $18.61 in ticketing fees).* California State Parks' usual entry fee of $10 per car will still apply and be collected at the park entrance. Also, as usual, day passes will be valid. Sunrise Photography Tours will be held rain or shine. Logistical information will be sent to ticket holders a week or so before the event.
