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!

Enjoyed it very much. Signed up for a 11 a.m. departure, but since we arrived early, was able to get in the 10 a.m. departure. Narrator hit all the points of interest. Was easy to find the port

We totally enjoyed the relaxing and informative two hour cruise of the north and south harbors. The guide pointed out many interesting facts and points of interest all along the way. It was especially cool to get close to the Navy ships and also cruise under the amazing Coronado Bridge and hear all about it's history. After the first hour the ship returns to the dock to unload and pick up additional people who were just doing the one hour cruise. The day we went was beautiful, sunny, clear and cool - perfect conditions for a cruise! We were there on a Wednesday and there were two cruise ships in port, one was a Disney Ship which was super cool to see up close and from that vantage point. We spent the entire cruise on the upper deck in the back. It was perfect - not cold or hot with no obstructed views and you could easily hear the guide. We didn't not eat on board but did enjoy a couple of beers. They had a decent selection of craft and domestic beers available for purchase. Even though the price for the cruise is fair, we had purchased our tickets through groupon which made it an even better value!!

Thanks for the detailed recount of your experience with us, Carol! We are thrilled to hear that you were able to enjoy a beautiful sunny day taking in the beautiful sights of the San Diego harbor while sipping on a couple of beers. The heat of summer is upon us and the best way to cool down is by taking another cruise! We hope to welcome you back soon!

Took this tour as we usually don't do paid tours. We really wanted to see the Navy ships and this was great way to do this. Cruise was really good, bar on board and food. We did 2 hour which was great value. Tour guide was good and entertaining. Crowded but most tours are. We did love our cruise and learned a lot.
