City Cruises San Diego offers visitors and residents, the epic experience of getting up close and personal with some of the most magnificent creatures on earth – blue whales. For over 25 years, City Cruises’ captains have introduced thousands of passengers to the wonder and excitement of whale watching in Southern California.  There is no better, safer, and drier way to witness the whale migration as thousands of blues, finbacks, and humpbacks journey off the coast.  As a City Cruises yacht heads out to the Pacific, passengers will also enjoy 360-degree views of the San Diego skyline, Cabrillo Monument, Coronado, and the US/Mexico coastal border along with sightings of sea lions, a variety of dolphin species, and sea birds.

Whale Watching Highlights With City Cruises San Diego

Interaction with Trained Docents from theNat (San Diego Natural History Museum): To make City Cruises Whale & Dolphin Watching cruise truly educational, trained volunteer naturalists from theNat provide interaction with guests, facts and maps, samples of krill and baleen on board, ongoing commentary about whale behaviors, how to spot spouts, flukes, and massive whale tails, and most importantly about blue whales.

A Comfortable (and Dry) Experience:  City Cruises provides the ability to view these beautiful creatures from large yachts, which provide unparalleled stability through the ocean waves. With top-level outdoor sundecks rising 30 ft. above the water and climate-controlled indoor levels, City Cruises’ yachts ensure optimal comfort and panoramic views for everyone, unlike small boat whale-watching trips (where foul weather gear is a necessary accessory).

Whale Sighting Guarantee:  If a whale is not sighted during a cruise, passengers will receive a pass good for another Whale Watching Cruise. City Cruises San Diego guarantees that every passenger will experience the exhilaration of witnessing a whale break the water’s surface for the first time.

Food Service and Full Bar:  Passengers can purchase delicious snacks and lunch, complimented by a full bar service.
