This was my favorite experience while in San Diego for 5 days in early March. I was on the Saturday morning cruise. The captain knew exactly where to pilot the boat to see the whales. We saw a number of grey whales and one frisky humpback that seemed to want to show off. We also encountered dolphins, which was fun because they are playful and aren't shy to come close. There were also sea lions at the dock area. Our guide who narrated the cruise was friendly and enthusiastic and seemed very knowledgeable about whales and sea birds. The weather was perfect, which made for an entirely perfect outing. The boat was clean and comfortable. Not too crowded on the whole, but of course, everyone shifted to the particular area where one could best see a sighted whale. Although the swells were a bit more than I anticipated, it heightened the excitement and I still felt safe. It was nice to get a little wet in the sunshine! The cost was very reasonable - less than my roundtrip cab fare from downtown San Diego.
