Whale Watching and Dolphin Tours

We will primarily be focusing on finding whales on these trips, but we always keep our eyes out for a variety of dolphin/porpoise species along with sea lions and birds. From Nov/Dec – April, California Gray Whales will be the targeted whale species; although we will never pass by a cooperating whale of another species. May-October generally provides a good chance of seeing Fin Whales, Humpback Whales, and Minke Whales. During the summertime in particular, when the water is warmest, is when we have our best chances of seeing Blue Whales.

Pelagic Birding Tours

We offer a variety of bird watching tours.  

San Diego County boasts the biggest bird list of any county or of any area of equal size in the United States; over 520 species across the county.

We hope you get out there to experience our amazing, biodiverse region, where you may see exciting endemic birds.

eBird records having spotted 103 species at our dock/marina location alone. Once you embark out of the bay, within 10 miles of Mission Bay eBird records indicate another 74 species have been sighted.
