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.

No whales and 1 pod of dolphins. I know trip is not guaranteed, but still disappointing. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable though.

We had a great time. The weather was just a little chilly once we got out to international waters but it was not terrible. Oscar is one of the crew members on board, he was kind as he was knowledgeable. He was able to answer any question we threw at him. We saw 2 gray whales, a bunch of dolphins, and of course the seals on the way out! Hats off to the whole crew!!
