Fun in Harbor
Just walk down the dock to where they are located and you’re off. The instructions from Viator about a blue flag and crew will meet you is not correct. It’s pretty laid back and easy to find.
Operator response
Valerie, Thank you for your feedback! We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The blue flag instructions were outdated check-in information that was still hidden in one section of the Viator listing. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. We’ve already updated the information to make the check-in process clearer for future guests. Thank you for cruising with us, and we’re glad you had a fun time on the harbor!

Very sucky trip
You will not see any wildlife except for seagulls. There are fake dogs on all the peers to keep the seals off the peers.
Operator response
Sheryl, thank you for your feedback. Our team welcomed your group, provided life jackets for you and your dogs, and gave detailed instructions on operating the pedal boat and navigating the surrounding area. It was a beautiful day to enjoy time on the water!
We’re sorry the wildlife did not meet your expectations. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, and our listing does not advertise or promise sea lion sightings. The experience is a recreational pedal boat rental where guests can enjoy being on the water and take in views of the marina, yachts and Downtown San Diego.
We’d also like to clarify that the dog decoys you mentioned on the piers are commonly used by boat owners to discourage seagulls from landing and leaving droppings on boats; they are not intended to keep sea lions away.
We’re disappointed to receive a one-star rating based primarily on wildlife that is outside of our control, but we appreciate the opportunity to clarify this for future guests.

So fun and relaxing ! We even got to see a Sea Lion. Juan was super friendly and accommodating. He put up an anniversary banner on our pedal boat and made it a special moment for us. Couldn’t be more pleased with this experience !

Fun way to enjoy the harbor views.
Try it out! Enjoyed the experience and the pedal boats are easy to pedal. We had fun, parking was found 2 blocks away at Ace public pay lot. We were 30 min late for reservations since parking nearby was non existent. Just call ahead and let them know, they gave us our full hour despite being late.

Dogs loved this!
We booked this tour because our dogs were allowed to come with us. We arrived about 30 minutes before our time slot but they let us go out once we got there. They provided us lifevest for our dogs. It was a relaxing way to enjoy the harbor and there was plenty of room in the boat for our two dogs, myself and my husband.

Tina, we appreciate your feedback! Thank you so much for coming!

Great way to spend a fun hour! Got in our little boat, pedaled in the bay, got amazing photos of San Diego’s skyline, played with sea lions and exercised a little while doing all that!
