Traveler reviews
Wonderful
It was a great family adventure, everyone loved it! John and Fish Girl were great, would do it again
Great experience
The water portion was the best. Seeing the sea lions, a baby sea lion that our guide saw, and the different birds. Our guide was able to share some interesting facts that added to experience. Jewel and Cameron were both great.
Good fun for any age
This is a fun activity for all ages. Part of the tour on land, part in the water. Great knowledgeable tour guide and safe driver. We saw wildlife out in the water. 3 generations ages 31-78 and we all enjoyed.
Looks a Little Hokey/Great Value
We noticed the “bus” at the Harbor. Why not? People looked liked they had fun! Bret (driver) and Michael (guide) gave us just under an hour of scenic fun. Open to the air on a cool blustery day, we were given plastic ponchos which also helped insulate from the cool air on the water. We spent an hour driving from the harbor near the USS Midway Museum, by the airport, to the launch area into to harbor. We motored in the amphibious vehicle closer to the harbor entrance to view sleeping seals and see some of the “backside” of interesting industry along the waterway. The tour is just a little over an hour but enough on a cool day! The price is right. The Coast Guard was in the harbor with us. All felt safe. Highly recommend.
Sea lions up close
You get really close to the sea lions and sea birds hanging out on the bait barges in the bay with plenty of photo opportunities. We also saw the small boats out training the dolphins and sea lions from the US Navy Marine Mammal Program in Point Loma. Our captain and guide were great.
