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 couldn’t have had a better time! We spent our 15th Anniversary with our almost 4yr old for the last 2 hour cruise of the day. We saw and learned so much about San Diego history and sites! It was fascinating to us that no building in town town can be over 500 ft high because of the air traffic. Then we also got in depth looks at many active duty naval vessels. Beautiful views of the bay, bridge, and downtown. This should be a must do on anyone’s list coming to San Diego! We can’t wait to go again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. Went at 11am. The staff are well educated and offered a pleasant tour. Take a jacket, as it is cooler on the water. Allows you to fully enjoy the city skyline! Seats scattered around tables on the deck, snacks and drinks for sale!

Did the 2 hour cruise as it wasn't that much more expensive than the 1 hour. We cruised the north of the bay first, this where you can see the sealions. Second hour was the South of the bay. This was a tour of US warships, not as god as the first hour
