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 selected a 2 1/2 hour cruise. but, the way they run the cruise is they go out for 1 hour, return to port to disembark and reload new passengers for a new 1 hour cruise, which only lasted 45 min, so, our 2 1/2 hour cruise was really 1 3/4 hours, the rest of the time being docked swapping our passengers. and, the snacks were terrible. expensive, but stale and tasteless.

We really enjoyed the view from the top deck. The tour guide provided lots of historical and current information about the area. It was a great, short 2-hour cruise. I’m glad I opted for the 2 hour cruise over the 1 hour.
