Dive into Whale & Dolphin Watching Adventures Aboard Hornblower!

Enjoy the best sightseeing on the San Diego Bay—with a professionally narrated tour of San Diego’s whale-watching hot spots. Join us on the water as we search for Gray Whales (winter), Blue Whales (Summer), Minke Whales, Fin Whales, dolphins, sea lions, marine birds and much more!

As we cruise, we’ll see up-close views of the bay’s wildlife as well as iconic landmarks from a new perspective. Onboard our staff will provide live narration and details about the aquatic life and landmarks we pass for a truly memorable experience. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to capture all the sights in photos and video. See our current Whale Sightings report.

If some type of whale is not sighted on your whale watching cruise, you will receive a pass good to return for a Whale Watching Cruise or Harbor Cruise from City Cruises San Diego.

NOTE: The whale watching vessel cruises in the open ocean. Our yacht is the most comfortable yacht in San Diego, due to stabilizers that greatly reduce the yacht’s motion. Click here for Helpful hints for whale watching and frequently asked questions.
