There’s no alarm clock like the splash of a whale. Off the coast of San Diego, whale watching season never really ends, and this cruise aboard a 141-foot sailing yacht puts you right in the middle of the action with guides who know exactly where to look.
Here’s the happy part: there’s almost always something breaching. Gray whales glide past from mid-December through April, blue and fin whales feed in the summer months, and humpbacks and minkes appear through spring, summer, and fall. The crew’s track record is remarkable — a 100 percent spotting success rate during the winter season.
Cruises start from $85, and with a 4.8-star rating across more than 2,500 reviews, this is one of San Diego’s most beloved outdoor adventures. Bring a jacket — the Pacific breeze is part of the fun — and keep your camera ready for the moment a giant says hello.
