I had a great time whale watching! We saw a group of 4 whales! It gets chilly in the middle of the Pacific Ocean so bundle up! The entire cruise was a great experience because I enjoyed looking back at the city , passing the naval base and watching the helicopters take off, passing Point Loma and then getting to catch the whales traveling as they head to Mexico. It was so beautiful! This is a great solo, group, family or couple activity. Although it is not guaranteed to see whales they do their best to find some for the group. They also sell snacks, sandwiches and drinks on the boat. The tour is about 4 hours so plan accordingly. I got chilly at the top after seeing the whales so I ended up going down into the boat to sit inside so I could get out of the wind. The view below is also just as great.

We had an amazing time on a Whale watching cruise on January 14th. We quickly spotted a number of spouts and that's when the fun began. We followed around 5 grey whales for about an hour before we had to head back to the harbor. They put on a great show with their tail flukes and spouts. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the whales as well as all of the military vessels and aircraft that we saw. I would definitely book with them again.

Honored their guarantee... It is not the most stable boat, heed their advice, if you are prone to motion sickness, I strongly recommend taking something for it. They also sell Dramamine on board, for a very reasonable cost. While we did not see any large whales on our trip we did see a number of dolphins. In addition they honored their guarantee and gave us a free pass to return and try again. The staff were very courteous. I would definitely try them again even if they didn't give us a bounce back pass for not seeing whales.

I took the South Harbor Tour and North Harbor Tour. For the South Harbor Tour we were explained about Coronado Island, then went under the Coronado Bridge, checked out the Naval Base, NASSCO and BAE Systems. As well as the port of San Diego. Solid tour but if you're interested in Naval ships, this is for you. We also got to hear the flag lowering ceremony from the Navy as well. The North Harbor Tour we went past the airport, saw the iconic San Diego restaurant, learned about Point Loma, saw some wildlife, the fuel station and then the rest of the way back was mostly about military. Overall better views than the South Tour but less things to explain.

Bought the ticket online and I was very pleased and excited throughout the process. Showed up at the port and showed my ticket and was told to followed the crowd. Got on the ship and I was able to select a seat at the bottom and upper deck for view purpose. The cruise was a two hours as stated on their website. The cruise was very interesting and informative! They offer no-alcoholic & alcoholic drinks on the upper deck and small snacks. Overall, great experience and next time I'm in San Diego, I'll do it again! The reason I have them a 3 instead of 5 stars is because they didn’t have dinner when I went there, nor did they announced it!
