Whale Watching San Diego

re-imagine whale watching

 

Ditch the slow, crowded boats and embark on an ocean wildlife safari with front row seats to the action!

 

See more of what you love. The fastest whale watching boats have the  highest chances of finding wildlife. We talk to the other whale watching boats and work together to find marine mammals. We can cover more distance in less time so we can see more on the tour!

Enjoy 360 degree views. A limited number of passengers on each boat means that each passenger gets to have 360 degree views and front row seats to the action!

Get arms reach away from wildlife on our low profile vessels. Dolphins love to swim in the pressure wave around our boats and put on a show for the passengers.

Ask questions and enjoy one-on-one time with the captain on our interactive tours. We will provide you with educational information, stories from experience, and unforgettable memories.

Year-Round wildlife sightings

Our ocean safaris will take you out in to the ocean looking for marine mammals, pelagic birds, and any other wildlife we can find!

Some of the species we encounter most often include: Grey Whales, Blue Whales, Humpback Whales, Common Dolphins, Bottlenose Dolphins, SeaLions, and California Brown Pelicans.

There are many types of marine mammals off the coast of San Diego all year long. Although we do find wildlife on almost all of our tours, please remember that we are looking for wild animals and are not able to guarantee that we will find them.
