Step aboard our 22' Zodiac expedition style boat and immerse yourself with wildlife all around you. Our Captains are fun loving, knowledgeable and respectful. We head out to see Blue & Grey whales, Fin whales and Humpback whales that put on an impressive show as they feed on krill and other small marine animals. Blue whales are the largest animals to ever live on earth and can reach up to 100’ and weigh in at 150 tons! The smaller fin whale averages about 88’ in length. In addition to whales, there are large pods of dolphins that call the San Diego coast home. Bottle nose, Pacific white sided, Risso’s and common dolphins can be seen year round as well. So step aboard and let the adventure begin!

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this whale watching tour?

A: Great question! The tour is suitable for all ages, but they do recommend that children be at least 4 years old to ensure they can safely wear the provided life jackets and enjoy the experience. Just double-check with the provider when booking, as they might have specific rules depending on the day.

Q: What's the best time of year to see whales in San Diego?

A: The best time to see whales is typically from December to April when both gray whales and humpback whales migrate along the coast. Blue whales are usually spotted from June to September. If you're aiming for a gift, I'd look for winter or spring for the best chances of a spectacular show!

Q: Is there a cancellation policy if the weather is bad?

A: Yes! They have a flexible cancellation policy. If the weather is too rough, the tour will be rescheduled without any extra charge. Just make sure to keep an eye on the forecast and check with them a day before your trip.
