About the Event:

Every summer the mythical Blue Whale visits the nutrient-rich waters off San Diego. Join us on a long-range whale watch expedition for a fantastic encounter with one of the most iconic of all the great whales. We run our  Blue whale expeditions from June to August at the peak of the Blue Whale Season.

The length of the expedition ranges from four to eight hours providing enough time to cover a wide area of the ocean opening the opportunity to encounter Blue Whales, Fin Whales, Offshore Bottlenose Dolphins, Common Dolphins, Sea lions, amongst other marine mammals.  

On this thrilling wildlife tour, we'll explore up to 100 miles off San Diego's Offshore waters specifically in search of Blue Whales and other exotic whale species. Our Blue Whale private expedition departs from mission bay in San Diego at a custom time determined by the weather forecast and our guest's preferences.


Fine Print:
- Family-Friendly: Suitable for all ages, this is a fantastic way to introduce your family to the wonders of marine wildlife.
- Eco-Friendly: Our tours support sustainable whale-watching practices, ensuring the preservation of these magnificent creatures and their environment.
- All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges.
 

What to consider

Recommendations:

Please note our Zodiac boat cruises at 20+ mph and although our Captain will maneuver to avoid 'bumps' there's always the possibility to encounter unexpected rough seas. With this in mind, we do not recommend our expeditions for people with back or neck problems.

We suggest you bring a reusable bottle of water and snacks.

It’s always a great idea to bring warm clothing, a sweater and a rain jacket (Layering works wonders) We'll also be under the sun so please bring biodegradable sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.

Our Zodiac boat has a low center of gravity minimizing rocking motion. However, If prone to seasickness we recommend you to take the seasickness medicine the night before your expedition and another dose 30 minutes before the trip.
