What you can expect

Lean against the rail of a spacious ship and gaze out at choppy waters, looking for the telltale blast of sea spray emanating from the blowholes of majestic grey whales. Every year, approximately 20,000 whales travel from Alaska to Baja California. Catch them as they pass by San Diego on this thrilling tour.

Leave the city skyline behind as you wander the deck of a spacious and modern whale-watching vessel, looking for the perfect vantage point for spotting grey whales. With indoor and outdoor viewing available, there are plenty of places to get comfortable and wait for the fun to start.

Scan the horizon as your captain sets a course for the best sites, just outside the waters of San Diego Bay. When they finally appear, grab your camera and capture the moment. Count their numbers as they gracefully arc through the water, keeping your eyes peeled for any calves that might be travelling with them. If you’re lucky, you might even see an energetic adult leap out of the ocean, breaching in a stunning demonstration of power.

With guaranteed sightings, you're sure not to return to the marina disappointed.
