Whale watchers are treated to the awe-inspiring sight of the approximately 28,000 gray whales passing by the San Diego coast while aboard a comfortable Hornblower whale watching yacht. We offer guaranteed sightings of these majestic giants. If we don’t see a whale we will offer you a “Whale Check” to come back for free. Besides whales, you’ll witness many varieties of marine life: four types of dolphin, sea lions and marine birds such as Brown Pelicans and Blue Herons along the way. See all the famous and historic sights of the San Diego bay: navy submarine base, NOSC and the Point Loma Light House and Cabrillo National Monument.

Tour Times: Daily at 9:30am and 1:30pm. Board 15 minutes prior to departure.
Duration: 3.5 hours

Whale & Dolphin Watching Season starts December 21, 2009 and lasts through April 4, 2010.

For 120 minutes and covering over 27 miles, the two-hour cruise is the COMPLETE Bay cruise. Highlights include the history and famous sights of San Diego including everything from sea lions to Navy SEALS. You’ll see the Navy Submarine base, the spectacular Coronado Bridge, the famous Star of India, dry-docking and ship building facilities and the famous Hotel Del Coronado. The two-hour tour is the best way to see the complete bay and learn all there is to know about the famous waterway.

What makes the Bay Cruise so popular and special? Professional Captains provide interesting narrative on the cruise aboard safe, comfortable yachts. Unlike many tours, you may visit the Captain in the wheelhouse. Hornblower offers child-friendly cruises with cute First Mate stickers and coloring maps. Enjoy a loaded snack bar on board, with adult beverages, souvenirs and photos.

Hornblower Cruises has put a new twist on their traditional San Diego daytime harbor cruise by featuring one of the most animated highlights of the tour- California Sea Lions in the wild! Many people will be thrilled to know that hundreds of the fascinating pinnipeds can be observed lounging on the buoys in the middle of harbor and on the bait barge near Point Loma.
