What are people saying about San Diego

San Diego Harbor Cruise

Anne_H, Jun 2026

Navy ships & Navy seals

The cruise was very informative. The narrators did an excellent job of giving in depth information about the sights along the tour. We stayed on for the 2 hour ride and it was well worth it. The second part covered the Navy ships and the Coronado bridge. We got to see Navy seals in training. That was the best part. I would recommend this tour.

San Diego Whale Watching & Dolphin Cruise

Elizabeth_M, Jun 2026

Great crew, service, and sighting!

We had a fabulous time. We saw dolfins, seabirds, and sealions. The crew was phenomenal. Colleen (nature guide) was fun, engagin, and informative. The ride was smooth (for the ocean) and brought us to great spots for spotting wildlife (Thanks Captain Mike). The support crew was great, Taylor, Joe, and Max provided quick, efficient service. And Joe helped one of our friends when she felt seasick. Overall, this was a great experience with a great crew.

San Diego Hop On Hop Off Trolley Tour

Great way to be informed & get around the city.

Great way to get around to sites of the city and with information so you don’t miss the hidden gems. All of the operators are informed and use humor between sites. Milo was especially entertaining. I could have listened to him all day and didn’t want to get off. I’ve used the trolley in other cities & San Diego did not disappoint.

Small-Group San Diego Sunset Sailing Excursion

Michael_H, May 2026

Peaceful tour and much enjoyed.

Pack a jacket! I don't care how hot you think you are, that ocean is an automatic fifteen-degree dip and there is almost never not a wind. Also wear grippy shoes without a slick sole, or be prepared to just kick them off and walk barefoot. The trip itself was really great. It's very quiet once out on the water, and the captain was a font of fun trivia, pointing out landmarks on both the naval base and the cityside and telling neat stories about all of them. Whether we had questions about San Diego, sailing, or the navy, he just about all the answers. Three hours is a long time for just sitting on the water, yes, but just enjoying the sounds of the wind and water forces relaxation upon you. Sailing is like yoga, but with more ropes and pulleys. Definitely a tonic for the soul.

San Diego Whale Watching Cruise

grace527163514, May 2026

Amazing experience!

Although we didn’t see any whales this time, we saw hundreds of dolphins “dancing” right alongside the boat. The crew was very friendly and patiently shared educational information throughout the tour. There was even a dedicated “dog” crew member on board helping keep everyone company and safe.CUTE！ The scenery along the entire trip was beautiful. We would definitely come back again next time.

Sunset Sail Along the San Diego Skyline

Steven_S, May 2026

Nice way to end our vacation

Dress warm! The water and air temperature are cooler than you think. With a limit of 6 passengers it's a cozy ride. A chance to converse with others who are probably from far away. The captain knows the boat well and is very capable of sailing it alone. They provided wine (and snacks I think). City skyline is beautiful and several interesting sights to see. It was a good time!

Champagne Brunch Buffet

Kyle_W, Apr 2026

This activity was very...

This activity was very worth the money the food and drinks was unlimited and they had a lot of options to eat. We had an assigned table and server but everyone was helpful and welcoming and they had upper levels we could go out and look at the ocean. My only suggestion would be the chicken and beef was a little dry. Overall a good experience

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.

San Diego Sunset Cruise from Mission Bay

kathleen_k, Mar 2026

Lovely night on Mission Bay

On our night, the bay was as smooth as silk. We had a clear evening and lovely sunset . A few clouds in the sky made for great pictures. The staff came through the boat and Big Dave explained what we were sailing by and gave us a short history of the area and the bay. We had a good time and learned more about San Diego. It was pleasant and relaxing way to end out our day in San Diego. The boat had a bar and some snacks for sale. Drinks good. We did not purchase snacks. Everything about this trip was smooth sailing.
