Public Whale Watching
Our flagship ocean wildlife safari — shared boat, $129 per person.
This is the trip that built us. A 2.5–3 hour ocean wildlife safari aboard a fast, low-profile military RIB out of Harbor Island — searching for whales, dolphins, sea lions, and pelagic birds in their own water. You get a small group, 360° views, and a captain who actually talks to you instead of a loudspeaker.
It's a shared boat (small groups — up to 10 seats on a public run), so it's per person. We need a four-passenger minimum to leave the dock, and minimum age is 4; infants, pregnant guests, or anyone who needs extra room should book a private tour instead. We chase wildlife, not guarantees — the ocean decides what shows up, and we run rain or shine.
$129 per person, plus a 6% San Diego Port Tax, 10% Marina Boarding Fee, and 5% Fuel Surcharge. We never guarantee a sighting — tours run rain or shine, and there's no refund or free trip if the ocean is quiet.
