San Diego Whale Watching Sailing Tour

Sightseeing  :  United States  :  California  :  San Diego  :  Dolphin & Whale Watching

San Diego is the ideal location to watch Pacific Gray Whales as they migrate from the Bering Sea to the lagoons of Baja California to mate and give birth. Their migration is the longest of any mammal on Earth and they sometimes travel 10,000 – 12,000 miles round trip. There is no better place to view these majestic creatures than from the comfort of our sailing yachts. On this 4 hour tour you will see a variety of wildlife including sea lions, dolphins, shore birds, and gray whales. We will shove off from our dock on Harbor Island and sail out of the Bay, past Ballast Point and Point Loma, and into the Pacific Ocean. Gray Whales travel parallel to the coastline between within 6 miles from shore so we won't have to venture out very far to see them. We will be looking for spouts of water caused by the exhalation of a surfacing whale. Once a whale is spotted we will position ourselves alongside and sail slowly and in formation with the whale, being careful not to disturb or distract the whale from feeding.

After about 30 minutes we will break off and either continue looking for sea life or head back into the Bay. Snacks and water is provided and you are welcome to bring your own food and beverage. Additional items that we recommend you bring are: camera, sunscreen, sun glasses, warm clothing, binoculars.
