Great opportunity to see dolphins and whale’s. Just don’t forget yo bring a good jacket, because is windy, and after sunset is cold

We had a great experience on a San Diego whale watching trip! From start to finish, the crew made it truly special. Captain Brian navigated us smoothly through the waters, Allison on the microphone was full of fun facts and knowledge and he deckhands were incredibly friendly and attentive. While we didn’t see whales right away, the real highlight was the huge pod of dolphins! Towards the end of the trip, we were lucky enough to spot a few whales, which was the cherry on top. We will definitely be back in summer with warm weather!
