We had a great time celebrating my wife's birthday on the San Diego Whale Watching Cruise! Though we didn't see any whales, Captain Troy guided us around hundreds of swimming and flipping dolphins for around 30 minutes. We had seats close to him and could hear him constantly on the radio trying to track down any whale sightings in the area. Regardless, you have beautiful views of the San Diego skyline and nearby Coronado islands. On a 75 degree day, we only needed light pullovers for maybe an hour of the entire 4-hour trip.
The entire trip was exceptionally well-planned and organized from start to finish. Detailed directions to the marina were provided, which made it easy to find. The crew went above and beyond to comply with all COVID-19 required protocols: reduced capacity, required masks when moving around, and even desanitizing the restroom after each use. They handed out beverages and snacks immediately upon request, and you could also bring whatever refreshments you'd like. The only suggestion would be to play at least some light music during some of the cruising time. Fathom did an incredible job giving all the info on the environment and marine mammal behavior. It was easy to tell that the entire crew cared about their guests having the best time possible.
Overall it was an outstanding experience, and we'd love to go again per the whale sighting guarantee next time we're in San Diego!
