Expand your horizons and encounter marine wildlife in their natural habitat on the San Diego Whale Watching Cruise!
Mid-December through mid-April is whale migration season. Hop aboard a 3.5-hour scenic cruise from San Diego, to snag an up-close and personal view of some of the most magnificent creatures in the world!
Set sail on the open waters of the Big Bay with a cruise company that has over 30 years of boating experience. A trusted crew, experienced Captain, and knowledgeable naturalist from the San Diego Natural History Museum will provide guests with fun facts and fascinating information during your whale watching cruise, regarding the spectacular world of aquatic life that dwells both above and below the ocean's surface.
Watch sunlight sparkle and look for breaks in the waves, keeping your eyes fixed on the water for signs of wildlife on the move! The majestic sighting of a legendary gray whale will take your breath away! Did it breach or give the water a solid, fun slap with its tail? Snap a photo of this impressive creature, known for making a yearly migration that's the furthest of any mammal on the planet!
Regardless of its name, your winter San Diego Whale Watching Cruise may feature sightings of more than just whales! Marvel at a pod of dolphins as they jump out of the water, racing alongside the yacht. Float past a colony of vibrantly barking sea lions. And watch as sea birds boldly swoop and dive at the water. Nothing compares to seeing wildlife that is actually in the wild!
And the sights to savor just keep going and going! As an added bonus, you'll enjoy a unique perspective of the city's downtown area and most prized San Diego attractions. Relax as you sightsee aboard this scenic cruise, thanks to the boat's comfortable amenities. Take in the scenery from the vessel's impressive outdoor observation decks, surrounded by the scent of salty air. Or cozy up inside, where you can take advantage of climate-controlled seating areas, a full bar, hot food snacks, and even a souvenir shop.
No whales spotted, for as far as all eyes could see? If the San Diego Whale Watching Cruise does not come across any whales, your crew will issue all guests on board a "Whale Check" to return at a later date for free.
