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.

My granddaughters and I had a fabulous time. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We saw 2 fin whale's, 2 minke whales, over 100 dolphins, sea lions, seals (my favorite), several different species of birds, and a jellyfish. Great trip. I highly recommend this.

Being out on the ocean, the information the crew gave us about the wild life, and seeing whales. Actually 3 Whales!

First experience for me and my family on a whale watching excursion and we were excited to go. It was the worst experience we have ever had. We all got horribly sick and vomited the entire 3 hour trip. The water was choppy and the captain was speeding and hitting waves too hard. The crew offered plastic bags and ginger ale. Not worth it!
