San Diego Whale Watching Tour

Overview

Our trips depart from Mission Bay, which requires only a short 10 minute journey access to the open ocean where whales and dolphins can be seen! The search for whales and other animals begins as soon as you depart the dock and our marine biologists are on the microphone explaining exactly what to expect and what you are seeing from the get go!
Typically our trips are 2.5-3 hours in length, but time can vary based on seasons and locations of sightings.

We saw an amazing bunch of dolphins but was a little disappointed that we were not able to get close enough to take photos of the whale that we saw from a distance.

Nice experience, saw 7 whales including a pod of 6 grey! Nice people! Would recommend highly. They do try to sell you some extras like drinks, nausea meds and photos
