You’ll begin spotting seabirds, sea lions, and coastal wildlife before you even leave the bay, then head offshore to watch California gray whales, humpbacks, and playful dolphins with guidance from our expert crew. You’ll also learn from San Diego Natural History Museum–certified naturalists who join every trip to share biofacts, answer questions, and bring the marine life of Southern California to life during this family-friendly 3-hour adventure.
