After boarding one of the fleet’s comfortable yachts, guests speed out to sea, passing barking sea lions and pods of leaping dolphins while searching for legendary blue whales. The four-hour tour offers live narration from an experienced captain and on-board naturalist from the San Diego Natural History Museum.
The yacht features a number of amenities both indoor and outdoor so guests can enjoy both environments. Facilities include comfortable seating as well as a snack bar featuring hot food, a full bar and souvenirs.
