What you'll do
You’ll speed out to sea on one of our large, comfortable yachts and pass barking sea lions and pods of leaping dolphins as you search for the legendary blue whales-the largest mammal on Earth.
During the 4-hour whale-watching tour, you'll be treated to a live narration by our experienced captain and our on-board naturalist (from the San Diego Natural History Museum).
You’ll stay cozy and comfortable with both indoor and outdoor seating and a snack bar featuring hot food, a full bar, and souvenirs.
We also offer a guarantee, if some type of whale is not sighted on your whale watching cruise, you will receive a pass good to return for a Whale Watching Cruise or 1 or 2 Hour Harbor Cruise from Hornblower San Diego.
