San Diego Hop On Hop Off Trolley Tour

Ride about San Diego

The trolly is so fun. We did it in Boston years ago so it was great to see it here. David was the best guide. San Diego is beautiful of course but it has so much history too. David made it fun. The only downside was the comic con was in town so unfortunately we had to bypass 3 stops because there was no way of getting down there. It’s a must do activity if you want to get to know the city and then decide where you want to get off and spend more time. Start early, do the entire tour first and then stop where you want after to spend more time. So much fun!!!

Perfect in every way

Perfect and dreamy. Captain Rick was knowledgeable, kind, and really easy to talk with.. There was nothing confusing or weird at all about the experience. It was just easy and fun and delightful. The check-in was professional and in a nice well kept location, and the on boarding process was smooth. Highly recommend.

San Diego Whale Watching & Dolphin Cruise

Austin_L, Jul 2026

Great time

Big shout out to Sandy and the crew. They were very informative from the moment we got in line until the very end. Sandy offered suggestions on the best place to sit and which areas may get wet. The staff cared for each person on the trip and it made me and everyone else feel safe. Although we did not see any whales, it was great to hang out in the ocean. I will definitely be back!

Amazing experience!

This was the best tour we’ve ever booked! Just 2 couples on the private sailboat for 3 full hours on a gorgeous day. Captain Dave was a lot of fun and full of interesting knowledge. We will definitely do this one again and will ask for Captain Dave. It was an amazing experience! Highly recommend!

San Diego Whale Watching Cruise

Ken_G, Jul 2026

Great time

It is rare to see whales this time of year, and we didn’t. The overall experience though, did not disappoint. The boat, a replica of the sailing schooner America, is beautiful and rides nicely when you get out of the bay. We saw pods consisting of hundreds of common dolphins (along with a few sea lions) twice. The dolphins like to race the boat and swim under the bow. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. Add in great weather and it was very enjoyable.

Wonderful sailing experience with our family

The owner was amazing and accommodated us on a different day for sailing when our little daughter had a bad cough. He was kind and understanding. The actual sailing trip was so beautiful and fun. Our captain Adam was great. Small groups and so professional. Thank you for a great outing !

On Board the boat was good

Well……. On the boat was so much fun. We were able to see the Beautiful sunset. The crew on the boat was so friendly and helpful. Overall on board the boat were super satisfied. Unfortunately, we didn’t like processing at the ticket booth. We had to stand in line for a while, when we get to the counter, they were telling us to sign the waiver paper, then we have to get out from the line. We felt bad for the other people that was in line that we came back had to cut the line. Anyway…….. overall on the boat we’re super fun.

San Diego Zoo 1-Day Pass: Any Day Ticket

First trip to the SD Zoo did not disappoint!

First time visiting the zoo and it did not disappoint! The online tips said it probably takes 6-7 hours to see everything and they were not kidding. We stayed around 7 hours and still didn’t see it all. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and unlike any zoo I’ve ever visited. The conservation abounds and shows how much the animals are cared for here. We took the bus tour first thing which was a great way to get our bearings. We then took the tram up to the top and walked down to see the sights. Would definitely recommend this approach to save energy as the zoo is basically uphill! We loved seeing all the animals but especially the giraffes, elephants, and meerkats! Enjoy!

Great trip with kids!

Great boat ride! I went with my 2 & 6 year old, and this was the perfect boat trip. Good length, interesting things to look at (my son loved all the navy boats) and a safe boat fo my 2 year old to explore. The captan provided interesting information and the boarding process was easy.
