Description Summary
  • If you love whales, dolphins, sea lions & sea birds, hop on board for an unforgettable adventure! Speed out to sea on a comfortable yacht with indoor and outdoor seating, on-board experts from The San Diego Natural History Museum and a fully-stocked snack bar. 
  • If you want the best view, you have to get away from the shore. A harbor tour is the perfect way to see the sights — from historic landmarks to marine wildlife. Or choose a whale watching tour to get up close to these majestic sea creatures. Both come with professional narration and plenty of memorable photo opportunities.

Description
  • San Diego is one of the best locations to watch whales year-round! Gray Whales migrate winter to spring from feeding grounds in Alaskan waters to calving lagoons in Baja California and back. In summer, the legendary Blue Whales - the largest animals on Earth - and Humpback Whales commonly feed off-shore of the San Diego coast. We also often spot Minke Whales, Fin Whales, and large pods of Dolphins. Occasionally we even see Pilot Whales, False Killer Whales , Sperm Whales and Killer Whales on our cruises! We see up to five kinds of dolphins on our cruises in pods of varying sizes to megapods!  Features professional live narration on marine life from our expert captains and volunteer naturalists from the San Diego Natural History Museum.
