Whale and Dolphin Watching in San Diego
Description
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!

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!
