Captain Fozii and first mates Amy & Salem were EXCELLENT! We enjoyed this tour way more than we thought we would. I actually think this is going to be the highlight of our trip to San Diego! Tons of sea lions. Enjoyable commentary. Learned a lot and saw so much of the town! The water part of the ride was just awesome. The perfect amount of time (not too long not too short) and Fozii had some great tips for us after taking his time to answer our questions. Amy gave us great tips about the zoo as she used to work there. TOTALLY worth the $40-something bucks a head and would do it again!

The San Diego Seal Tour is an absolute must do when visiting San Diego. It was very informational and fun to see San Diego in a different way. We now have a list of things to check out the next time we visit. Our Captain, Kurt and 1st Mate, Mermaid we’re phenomenal! The tour was about an hour and a half, it didn’t seem like that long at all. Even though we’ve now experienced it, we’ll definitely do it again!
