San Diego Best of the Bay 2 Hour Harbor Cruise

Overview

Enjoy the best harbor tour on the San Diego Bay—with a professionally narrated harbor tour of more than 50 storied landmarks. We’ll cover over 13 miles on the Big Bay, passing by Seaport Village, Shelter Island, ship-building and dry-docking facilities, Coronado Island, Point Loma, and Cabrillo National Monument, among many others. As we sail, we’ll see delightful marine animals and majestic sea birds, and we’ll talk about what local environmental efforts are doing to protect them. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to capture all the sights in photos and video, and our fully stocked snack bar is always open.

We are fortunate to have beautiful outdoor decks that are available for sightseeing on San Diego Bay. We have great weather on the bay right now, we would just recommend you bring a hat, light sweater or jacket and of course your shades!

We thought that the tour was wonderful. So many cool and amazing things to see and the drinks and snacks were delicious! First Officer Ryan did a fantastic job narrating the trip and had us laughing most of the tour. Thank you.

We first took the South Bay cruise then the North Bay. The trip total was about two hours. On the South trip, we learned all about the many Navy vessels and aircraft that we saw. A plus was that the narrator highlighted several restaurants, shops and hotels along the way. On the North trip, we learned a lot about San Diego itself and how the islands were formed after dredging the bay. We also saw many sea lions sunning themselves on a dock. There were only five of us on the boat so we had our own private tour. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. There is a bar and snacks are available. I highly recommend this cruise.

We booked online and were charged in EUROS, overcharged and no refund. No address of the dock, very unpleasant tried to find the dock.
