Adventure Whale Watching, San Diego

About Adventure Whale Watching

Adventure Whale Watching offers guided boat tours on military inflatable boats, where visitors search for whales, dolphins, sea lions, and pelagic birds on the open ocean. Tours depart from San Diego and use Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) purchased from the Navy SEALs, capable of speeds over 50 mph with low-profile hulls designed to minimize seasickness and bring passengers close to marine life. Public whale watching tours accommodate up to 6 passengers per shared boat, allowing visitors to meet fellow enthusiasts, while private tours reserve an entire boat for groups. Each vessel features plush bench seating, new Yamaha engines, and a Bluetooth sound system. Knowledgeable captains provide one-on-one interaction and educational information about marine wildlife. Visitors typically encounter humpback whales, blue whales, dolphins, and sea lions depending on season. Tickets are sold online on the venue's website. A 10% discount applies to weekday public tours using code WEEKDAY10, according to adventurewhalewatchingsandiego.com.
