San Diego: 3 Hour Whale Watch Cruise with Legacy Whale Watch

Ashleigh_J, May 2026

Wonderful experience! We...

Wonderful experience! We saw 3 humpback whales, 1 fin whale and thousands of dolphins. I wish I had taken a Dramamine before. I am on a boat a lot in the gulf coast but did not factor in how much more intense the waves are in the pacific. Overall, wonderful experience!!!

San Diego Hop On Hop Off Trolley Tour

Shawanna_C, May 2026

Great Overview of popular San Diego Areas

This is a great way to get an overview of the city and decide where you want to spend more time. Both J and Bini were great guides, who provided entertaining and informative commentary about the neighborhoods we visited. I hopped off in Old Town, Seaport Village (for lunch), Balboa Park and Little Italy (to end the day). Coronado Island is another popular stop to hop-off at.

San Diego Harbor Cruise

Donna_M, May 2026

2 hour San Diego.harbor cruise

I've lived in the San Diego area for many years and never done this harbor cruise. I took it with family that was visiting from out of town, we all really enjoyed it great information and it was a beautiful day and was clean and staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend.. 👍

San Diego Whale Watching & Dolphin Cruise

Rebecca_B, May 2026

We had a wonderful...

We had a wonderful experience and saw lots of wildlife - including whales! The boat was almost at capacity - but seating didn’t really matter that much once we were watching dolphins and whales as everyone was against the railing. Caution - If you are prone to motion sickness this might not be the trip for you as a few on board became ill.

USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date

Darren_T, May 2026

Exceptional visit - highly recommended.

We absolutely loved this attraction, spent the whole day onboard and saw mostly everything we set out to see. The volunteers onboard are a wealth of information and so interesting to interact with. What’s particularly special about this museum attraction is that it’s hands on and they encourage to touch and try different things even sitting in the captains chair and plane cockpits. For us this was definitely an highlight of our visit to San Diego and highly recommend this attraction.

San Diego Whale/Dolphin Watching Cruise Aboard Luxury Vessel

Tesla_B, May 2026

Dolphins! Sea lions! Whales!

Such a great morning seeing dolphins, sea lions and a humpback whale that breeched! The crew was friendly and knowledgeable! Enjoyed this experience and would do it again! Also, love that the boat wasn’t overcrowded , so everyone could move about the boat to get good views.

San Diego Seal Tour

Hagenn, May 2026

A very pleasant sojourn

This was a great time, taking a look around at some of the elements of downtown San Diego, then getting on the water and motoring around the western Harbor. Our driver and our tour guide did a great job finding interesting things and giving info on them, including a decent number of temporary things! I especially loved that they had blankets available, since the Harbor wind can get chilly.

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.

2.5-Hour Small-Group Catamaran Sail with Drinks

brandice5, Apr 2026

A wonderful boat ride in San Diego

This was a great experience! It was so relaxing and fun to be on the water in San Diego! The boat was well kept and clean and Ryan was the best captain! He was a great guide and skilled captain. We felt safe and the whole ride was effortless and really a great time for 3 middle aged female friends to enjoy another part of this beautiful city.

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.
