Overview

San Diego whale watching goes beyond the shoreline on a half-day shared trip capped at six travelers. Captains track migration patterns while you watch for blue whales, breaches, tail slaps, and playful pods. The extended time gives you a wider window for sightings when blue whales migrate farther offshore, with June through September recommended for blue whale sightings.
