It was a great tour despite not seeing a whale.(which we got a whale check pass to come back). The captain and captain assistant did a great job narrating. Plenty of info on the sights of San Diego harbor. There was enough to see that it kept our 7&9 year old entertained for 3.5 hours. We did see thousands of dolphins and a giant sun fish.

Great tour. Very knowledgeable. Snacks And booze available. Don’t worry about sea sickness, it’s very calm since it’s between the city and Coronado.

We had the BEST day on this Whale 🐳 & Dolphin 🐬 excursion! The entire crew were very friendly and welcoming! Our Captain Mike had the best personality. He was very funny, professional and respectful to these mammals!

Are there restrooms for handicapped people in wheelchairs--electric wheelchairs. Can a companion go in to help the other person? Is there a ramp to get on the boat with a wheelchair? My husband cannot walk.

Carole Rader | Aug 17, 2020
Antonio Gonzalez | Aug 17, 2020

Its just like any other city, Restrooms are only in restaurants and business'. There is a ramp to get on the boat so I'm not going to say no, but I'd call to confirm about help because its one ride after another, kind of hectic but worth it.

Lacretia Hawkins-Carthans | Oct 21, 2021
Leonard Jones | Oct 21, 2021

Not sure, we met in the grass area across from the docs and the guide walked us to the boat. I don't think so, they may be able to lift it onto the boat but we had to climb a ladder to get on.

The Whale watch cruises? They have 2 per day, 9am & 1pm. When they say they depart at 9am or 1pm, they mean it!!!

For the 9:30 am tour, how early should I arrive to have enough time to check in and board?

Alex Jackson | Aug 18, 2019
Hama Ayu | Aug 18, 2019

Maybe 30-40 minutes early you should be fine.
