Product Info

Set sail from San Diego’s scenic Mission Bay, which offers the shortest trip to the open ocean — giving you more time to search for incredible wildlife. This unforgettable 2–3-hour whale-watching adventure in San Diego. Depending on the season and wildlife activity, trips range from 2–2.5 hours in winter (Dec–Feb) to 2.5–3 hours in spring through fall (Mar–Nov). In just 10 minutes, you’ll leave the bay behind and be cruising the open Pacific, scanning the horizon for whales, dolphins, and other awe-inspiring marine life.

With expert guides and naturalists by your side, every sighting comes to life through fascinating stories and insights. From the moment you spot a spout in the distance to the thrill of dolphins racing alongside the boat, no two adventures are ever the same.

Experience the warm hospitality of a family-owned and operated company, where every guest is treated like part of the crew. Relax in spacious indoor or outdoor seating and make the most of your journey with a full galley and bar serving refreshments onboard.

As an added perk, enjoy free and convenient parking right on Quivira Road, making your trip even easier from start to finish.
