    This place is awesome! My husband and I recently mini mooned in Mendocino and stumbled upon this place. Judy was super knowledgeable and helpful while we waited for our private tour to take place. McKenzie, our tour guide was also super friendly and knowledgeable and really made our experience. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area. -The Bests

    B Bryan Preserve in Point Arena is such a special place. They are a 110-acre private conservation preserve, and offer a most unusual and uncommon wildlife experience, akin to a safari. We did the Range Rover guided tour and were not disappointed. Endangered African animals like Nubian (Rothschild's) giraffes, Grevy's zebras, and Sable antelope roam in large pastures overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The preserve focuses on breeding and conserving species that are threatened or endangered in the wild. The guides are very informative and obviously take pride in what they're doing. I would suggest, as they do, to not take very young kids as they may lose interest. Maybe a lot of snacks will help? :) If you want to visit, reserve well in advance!

    Early morning visit to a wildlife preserve It was awesome seeing wildlife so up close. They all were healthy and well cared for. Feeding the giraffe was fun. We had a good time & the staff was very nice. #GoSee

    Zebras! The preserve has a couple of different kinds.

    This preserve is doing great work! The things I learned about giraffes has been vast, such interesting and majestic creatures they are. I recommend taking the tour! You get close up views and get to feed the giraffes at the end. If possible, stay in one of their cottages - It is so quiet and relaxing AND you help to support the preserve in doing so! A win-win. The cottage is clean and the collection of art is so cool. A favorite highlight was putting on makeup while watching the giraffes go about their day. Cant wait to come back.

    Experiential learning! Multi-dimensional. A Wild Experience That Inspires This experience encourages deeper reflection on the future of our planet's animal species--without ever leaving the world we know. It offers an up-close look at animals whose existence is threatened, and whose survival depends on the efforts of organizations like B. Bryan Preserve and others working together to provide refuge and care. You'll ride in safari-style vehicles--an adventure kids will absolutely love. Unlike traditional wildlife parks where animals are viewed from afar, here you'll find yourself within arm's reach. There's even an unforgettable opportunity to feed the giraffes! I truly believe that giving children this kind of first-hand experience helps them grow into compassionate stewards of the natural world. It makes the importance of protecting all living species feel real, personal, and urgent. We were pleasantly surprised and loved the tour, we just wished our grandchildren were with us. A thoughtful experience, education and fun rolled into one. Great staff all around!

    Great experience for the family! Totally enjoyed this short trip and interacting with the staff. Enjoyed the giraffe feeding and seeing all the different animals in this preserve. Be sure to book ahead and just drive close to the gate to open (IYKYK).

    What a unique experience located in a small town! My best friends and I opted for the guided safari tour, which I would highly recommend. They have a small fleet of vintage Range Rovers where you feel like you're on an actual safari. The guides were very knowledgeable and I learned so many things about all the animals located here. The giraffes were definitely the highlight! Each group is assigned a giraffe with a guide and each person gets to feed them lettuce. Up close and personal experience. It was amazing!

    Zebras - 3 kinds. Stripes are different in each!

    What a great place, perfect for a visit. I learned a lot. NOTE: you must schedule ahead of time, no drop-ins!! We got to see several zebras and other hoofed animals from Africa. Wow! In our party of - most people have come before! The docents are great- knowledgeable and caring. And interns are part of this group, so young people are helping out and learning hands -on skills. What a great place to learn, see, and ask questions about these wonderful animals that you wouldn't see Up-Close ... unless you spent a month on Safari!! Perfect for all ages, not much walking, and your tour is in vintage Land Cruisers. A gathering place - at the start- is full of interesting artifacts... then you are able to see the real animals, grazing, raising young and hear stories from the docents. I loved this adventure in Pt. Arena!!

    Really enjoyed this secluded very tucked away little adventure. So beautiful what they have been doing all these years. It's so amazing! I wish the tour was longer...especially feeding the giraffes! That was absolutely amazing!

    Felicia H.

    My family and I enjoyed the self-guided tour in our own vehicle. We loved the ease and comfort of going at our own pace. Our children ages 10 & 6, both enjoyed feeding the Giraffe. Everyone we encountered was either helpful, friendly, informative, or all of the above. A wonderful place to support.

    Morgan T.

    We had the most amazing experience here for my bachelorette party! The B. Bryan preserve went above and beyond for us. I cannot recommend this experience more. You can tell the care they have for each animal. Wonderful experience. I cannot recommend it more! Thank you B. Bryan team

    Hi, has anyone gotten married here? I will obviously reach out to them when I have a better idea of our plans, but I wanted to see if any of the community has had a wedding there?

    We had a wedding here several years ago. We are not set up for big weddings, but please contact us if it is something you are interested in. We have also done bridesmaid events where they paint with the giraffe or things like that.

    You can book overnight stays in antique filled cabins and if you want a real treat, paint with the giraffe.

She prepared an incredible spread during our stay, including a delicious charcuterie board, flatbread, artichoke dip, and her famous "Slap Yo Mama" gumbo with fresh dipping bread. The name doesn't lie...it absolutely SLAPS! Hands down the best gumbo I've ever had. Room 120 was spacious and comfortable, with an amazingly comfortable bed and the perfect ocean view!! There is nothing better than lying in bed, watching the ocean, and listening to the waves. I also enjoyed a bubble bath with the jetted tub both days, which made for the perfect relaxing getaway. The balcony is nice with tall chairs and a table to enjoy a glass of wine (or three lol) in the evenings. :) If you're looking for a peaceful coastal retreat with exceptional hospitality, beautiful ocean views, and thoughtful touches throughout your stay, I can't recommend Wharf Masters Inn enough. We already can't wait to come back!!

I attempted to make a reservation for the harbor tour with Captain Dan for my anniversary. When I called I reached a voicemail inbox and began to leave a message, but in the middle of it someone picked up - no greeting or other info, just a very brusque "hello?" Out of simple curiosity I asked if they ever do whale watching trips at other times of year, but was abruptly interrupted by the person shouting, "why doesn't anyone ever look at the website, we don't do that here!!" I was so taken aback that I apologized and hung up. The tour genuinely looks like it would be lovely and I was interested in what Captain Dan would be able to tell us about! But I'm not about to risk continuing to being treated so rudely on a special occasion.

Booking online was super easy, we were sent a confirmation email with a number to call to confirm our tour time. Since the availability of the tour in really dependent on the tide, we did call back a couple weeks ahead to confirm and pay for the tour. Kristin helped us though the process and made it really easy and painless. Captain Dan was super nice. I appreciate all the stories and knowledge he shared about the harbor, who does what in each boat, the surrounding properties, his time in Alaska, and more. Such great conversations. We got pretty lucky because there was a couple boats selling tuna and cleaning fish so there was a lot of sea lions and seals around waiting for fish. We were on an electric boat, so it was really quiet and didn't scare away the marine life and we were able to get up close. We got to see lots of beautiful birds, he had even told us which ones to watch because they dive down and catch fish. And we did see one catch a fish! It was so cool. Such an amazing experience we'd go again the next time we're out in the area. I definitely recommend!
