サンディエゴのホエール＆イルカウォッチング

Great experience for a day

We came out for my daughter's birthday. Well, I came for work and she joined. The sunset cruise after work was our choice. When we arrived, our Captain asked us if we minded no doing the normal tour and heading straight to where a pod of orcas had been sighted. Say less! We hauled tail to their location and were not disappointed. Captain Alyssa stayed with the orcas (ETP pod) as long as we could before we had to gwt back. My daughter spotted a dolphin and I spotted a shark flipping in the air too. My daughter saw jumping rays and there were flying fish. It was absolutely amazing. I am so glad I chose the smaller RHIB boat over the big boats. They offer wind breakers and have lifejackets. I recommend taking water, wearing pants (light) and bringing a sweatshirt or jacket if you take the the tour that ends after sunset. Also, they are wild animals so, they may not get the email they are supposed to meet up. Just be open minded. Its a bit more pricey than the larger boats, around $140. I thought it was worth it. Enjoy.

I highly recommend this company, and I’m so glad I booked my tour with them! Unfortunately, we didn't spot any whales or dolphins—which was a bit of a letdown—but we did see orcas. Unlike the large, slow tourist boats, these small speedboats are incredibly fast, allowing you to cover a lot of ground and just have a blast riding the waves. I’d suggest bringing a warm sweater along with waterproof pants and a jacket—you’ll definitely need them!

On to the boat and out of the bay. Sent off by the barking of the seals and sealions. Captain Jennie, in communication with another boat, found a large pod of dolphins. Being in a small RIB, down at the water level was exhilarating, surrounded by the dolphins, with them riding the bow of the boat and along side of us. Several babies along side mums. No whales seen. Being in a small boat gave us the maneuverability and speed to turn and experience the pod again and again. Very emotional to be so close. Thank you Jennie, for giving us wonderful memories. I highly recommend booking with Offshore Blue Adventures for the opportunity to be almost on eye level with the Ocean greats and to see what awesome encounters await you!

It was a nice tour. We saw a lot of dolphins and a fin whale. It was very exciting. The tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable. The small boat was a little bumpy due to the ocean. I was ok after I switched from front to back seat. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Alyssa was an amazing captain! She found us Harbor seals, sea lions, common dolphins, bottlenose, dolphins, and humpback whales. Incredible!

We had an amazing experience with elisa, and we’re able to see 4 fin whales and 2 large pods of dolphins. Would definitely do again!

Amazing boat ride. Captain Jenny was great. She kept trying until we found some dolphins and two humpback 🐋 whales. What a blessing.

It is an excellent experience. We were able spot lot of dolphins diving next to our boat in the trip. Drivers were very supportive, friendly and informative. Highly recommended :)

Great experience! Our captain was great and understanding! Really friendly and helpful! Thumbs up for the great work!
