BodegaBayTours, Bodega Bay

About BodegaBayTours

Bodega Bay Tours offers dining and sightseeing aboard Melanie, a raised-deck cruiser docked at Porto Bodega Marina in Bodega Bay, a historic village north of San Francisco. The vessel, a classic yacht from the 1920s with a storied past, hosts diners on the harbor near the dock featured in Alfred Hitchcock's film The Birds. Visitors can stroll around the harbor on self-guided tours and photograph the scenic Sonoma Coast from the water, with opportunities to spot migrating whales. The attraction draws birdwatchers interested in the filming locations of The Birds and the local bird populations that made Bodega Bay world-famous among ornithologists. A bird walk option allows guests to see where Hitchcock filmed and where birds still gather. The experience combines the vessel's mysterious maritime history with views of the working harbor and coastal wildlife.
