Attention Animal Lovers: There's Wildlife in Marin!

Happy June! One of our favorite months in Marin County! The hills are covered in wildflowers, the weather is pretty much perfect, butterflies are everywhere, and it’s prime season for spotting wildlife. Head out to some of our Marin Hotels staff picks for favorite outdoor spots and keep your eyes peeled.

Walking With The Wildlife in Marin County

To help prime your eyes for what you might see, head over to walkingwiththewildlife on instagram. Demitri is a Marin County hiker and photographer who captures some really amazing animal activity in Marin. We always look forward to his posts! His photo is featured at the top of this post, and here are some more, below. (BTW, wow!)

On the Water with the Wildlife in Marin County

If you're interested in getting out on the water to spot some marine life, book the Whale Watching Wildlife Tour with Angel Island Tiburon Ferry. During the 3-hour tour, you’ll venture out beyond the Golden Gate, where we hear there is some good activity this year.

Birding in Marin County

For the birdwatchers out there, Marin County will not disappoint. The Marin Audubon Society has published the best birding locations in Marin County. A couple of their recommendations overlap with our Best Flat Hikes in Marin: Abbots Lagoon and Blackie’s Pasture on Old Rail Trail in Tiburon.

Wildlife Events in Marin County

Marin County Parks hosts some great events centered around the wildlife in our parklands. You can spot and learn more about Butterflies, Nocturnal Creatures, and even Bats in Marin at their group hikes and experiences.
