This 12-hour pelagic trip comes at the height of fall migration for many species. This is still a good time to spot the Craveri’s murrelet, and up to four species of storm-petrels. October is also good for the scarce red-billed tropicbird, Buller’s shearwater, and south polar skua, as well as for migrant Sabine’s gulls.
