Witness nature first-hand as you relax and enjoy this incredible San Diego whale and dolphin watching cruise. Sail the open ocean on a comfortable yacht to see pods of dolphins, sea lions and the magnificent California gray whales on their annual journey from the Arctic to California's Baja Coast.
If you love whales, dolphins, sea lions, and sea birds, hop on board for a breathtaking experience on the open ocean spotting the incredible array of marinelife which frequent the picturesque Southern California coastline.
Speed out to sea on a large, comfortable yacht, passing barking sea lions and pods of leaping dolphins on this 3.5 voyage where you'll stay cozy and comfortable with both indoor and outdoor seating and a snack bar featuring hot food, a full bar, and souvenirs.
Search for the legendary gray whales on their annual migration from Alaska to the warmer waters of the Baja Peninsula, Mexico and then again on their return North to their summer feeding grounds.
Gray Whales are reknowned for migrating the longest distance of any mammal on Earth and some 20,000 of these magnificent mammals migrate annually..
Throughout the year various types of dolphins are encounted in the area, with some pods numbering into thousands and these playful locals regularly seek out the boat to show-off their amazing acrobatic abilities!
Short-beaked and Long-beaked Common, Pacific Bottlenose, Rissos, and Pacific white-sided dolphins all live in the waters off San Diego.
Throughout the tour, you’ll be treated to a live narration by your experienced captain and an on-board naturalist (from the San Diego Natural History Museum).
