We’ve all crossed the bridges from Oakland to Alameda, but how many have cruised under the Bay Bridge, entered the estuary and charted the eastern waterfront? You’ll experience a “back door view” of both the Port of Oakland and Alameda, with lunch onboard! Learn about the history and current usage of the estuary and bay sides of this island.
NOTE: Please read activity guidelines and limitations below before enrolling. Excursion fees are non-refundable.
Our group will travel from Davis to Berkeley by luxury motor coach. Course fees include bus and boat transport and lecture/commentary throughout the cruise by our captain and crew. Participants are encouraged to dress in layers appropriate to individual comfort and the weather, bring hats and sunscreen, a water bottle and any personal snacks you wish. Lunch will be served aboard the boat. A menu will be sent in advance of the departure and OLLI will request that you select an entree sandwich from the choices provided. (Those who need a gluten free are encouraged to bring their own bread or crackers to build their own sandwich.) Bathrooms are available on board with a choice of enclosed seating or outdoor seating on the upper deck, accessible only by stairway.
NOTE: Course fees are non-refundable. Parking and bus pick up location will be emailed one week in advance of the trip date. Course fees will be refunded ONLY if the purveyor cancels the trip due to marine or weather conditions or OLLI cancels the trip due to low enrollment. Email olli@ucdavis.edu for more in-depth questions before registering. Those in need of mobility assistance are urged to contact OLLI staff before registering for this trip. OLLI staff can not provide personal assistance.
