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.

Humpback whales and large pod of playful dolphins! Great outing! The crew was friendly, sociable and available if anyone was of need. Felt very safe with our captain. Melissa, our experienced guide, was very knowledgeable and able to answer questions. Highly recommend this experience! If you plan to sit outside (which I highly suggest), bring a good jacket, hat and/or scarf; the wind gets cold in the open sea :)

Great tour and knowledgeable host - saw the whale after an hour at sea; no breaching but that's pretty rare

So magical! Saw a humpback on a gorgeous day would recommend this for sure. Crew was great! Compared to another tour less expensive.
