Overview

Passengers board a whale watching boat in San Diego for a 3.5-hour trip along the coast. The cruise offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. During the trip, guests observe gray whales migrating between the Bering Sea and Baja California lagoons. The tour provides an educational overview of the whales’ migration patterns, but no physical interaction with the whales is allowed. Weather can vary, so dressing in layers is recommended. Seasickness medication should be taken before boarding if needed, as it is more effective when used in advance. Snacks, food, and drinks are not included and should be brought separately if desired. The tour runs year-round with equal chances of spotting whales on any departure time or day. Accessibility includes wheelchair access to the vessel and interior main deck, but the exterior top deck and restrooms are not accessible by ramp. If poor weather forces cancellation, guests are contacted in the morning and can reschedule or receive a full refund.
