LESS CROWDS MORE ADVENTURE




SAFE & FAST MILITARY BOATS



The most safe and exciting way to explore the ocean is on our custom built
Military Inflatable Boats.

 

What sets us apart is our boats. We have the fastest tour boats in San Diego
with the ability to reach speeds of over 50 mph. Moving fast means that we can
cover more ground and see more of what we love!

Our Rigid Inflatable Boats (R.I.B.s) were purchased from the NAVY SEALs and
completely customized to make them ideal for San Diego guided boat tours.

Each boat has plush, custom made bench seats, new Yamaha engines, and a
Bluetooth sound system installed.

Our low-profile vessels carry you just above the surface of the water. This
virtually eliminates sea-sickness, puts you within arms reach of marine
wildlife, and gets you closer to the things you want to see.

 

 


PUBLIC TOURS & PRIVATE TOURS


Our ocean safaris will take you out in to the ocean looking for marine mammals,
pelagic birds, and any other wildlife we can find!
Private whale watching tours in San Diego are the most popular tour that we
offer. Our private tours reserve the entire boat for your group so that we can
focus on finding the wildlife you love.



Public whale watching tours in San Diego are also available every day. These
semi-private tours allow multiple groups on board. This is a fun way to meet
some new friends and explore the ocean together!

No matter which San Diego boat tour option you choose, you will have no crowds
and an unforgettable adventure!

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Amazing Experience



“More than we expected. Knowledgeable, friendly staff from the moment we arrived
until we left. The Rib boats allowed us to travel to sites at speed and with
ease. We were lucky enough to see hundreds of Dolphins and 6-7 Humpback Whales.
Would strongly recommend if you want an intimate whale watching experience close
to the action.”

Extreme whale and dolphin watching



“We had the most amazing adventure with our captain! He found two adult whales
and they came right up to our small boat and allowed us to watch them for about
30 minutes. Then he took us to find a pod of more than 500 dolphins who were
jumping & flipping all around us. It was smooth sailing on our trek out to sea
and back. We ended the trip by watching sea lions basking in the sun on their
own dock. It was one of the best excursions we’ve ever done. I would highly
recommend this trip to everyone!”

– Cher B

Too Awesome for Mere Words



“Our captain and his jokes and amazing knowledge were as fast paced as the
adventure. We experienced a super pod of dolphins up-close and personal. Our
captain had each of us hang over the bow to get to look a dolphin eye-to-eye. I
wonder what they were thinking? It is indescribably awesome to be moving amongst
a super pod and dolphins doing a water ballet starboard and port. It should be
on everyone’s bucket list.”

– FellowTraveler582418

One of the Best Experiences



“I don’t normally do reviews but this was one of the best experiences of my
life. We saw dolphins, sea lions and humpback whales. We were insanely close to
the whales and the small boat allowed that (you are down at water level so they
are easier to see and the boat can maneuver much quicker and closer than bigger
boats.) This is ABSOLUTELY  the way to whale watch. Also our captain was
awesome. Very knowledgeable and interesting. If they can’t find you whales they
aren’t out there. I would do this again in a heartbeat.”

– Michelle A.

Highly Recommend



“Can’t say enough about how great the experience with our cpatain and the
Adventure Whale Watching crew was this morning! They give you snowmobile suits
to keep you warm, but it was sucha  gorgeous day we didn’t need them. Our boat
had 6 people in it so everyone got  great views of everything, and we were even
lucky enough to catch a blue whale cow and her (giant) calf! Highly reccomend
Adventure Whale Watching if you’re in the area and looking for an up-close
experience with whales, dolphins, and California sea lions!”

– Stephanie P.

So Cool!



“Our captain didn’t disappoint! They put us on breaching humpbacks along with a
megapod of dolphins with at least 500 dolphins. Such an awesome experience. Go
ahead and book this trip now. You will get right up close and personal to the
animals on this tour. I’m still wiping the whale blow off of my glasses! Again,
So cool!”

– Jeremy B.

A Forever Memory



“Our captain was first class, knowledgeable about the water and marine life and
cares passionately about hwat he does. He has a great sense of humour. During
the trip I felt that he was watning to show off what the ocean has to offer and
boy did he do that for us. Health and safety was paramount to the company and
the captain made sure we understood what was and wasn’t acceptable. We went out
on an ex navy non sinkable boat. It was fast! Exactly what we were hoping for
and what was advertised. The captain was very open an honest and admitted that
we may or may not see what were hoping for. I have seen other companies
guarentee seeing wildlife. This company doesn’t count sea lions sitting on the
bouys on the way out as seeing wildlife. They want you to see dolphins and
whales. We were so lucky to see 3 or 4 pods of dolphins and amazingly a blue
whale. This was an experience of a lifetime and can’t thank our captain enough
fo rhis persistent I’m trying to find the Blue Whale. This is a memory that will
forever stay with us. Thank you”

– Wayne B.

Extremely caring and knowledgeable



“Absolutely fabulous experience. So relaxing and exhilarating at the same time.
From office staff to our captain, these guys really take care of you, both
extremely caring and knowledgeable in their jobs. We saw several Blue Whale
really close up along with a full pod of dolphins, making the whole 3 hour trip
one of the best we have ever taken. Highly recommend this company to anyone.”

– Martin B.

Fun and Thrilling Boat Ride!



“This tour company is more than simple dolphin and whale sightseeing. They take
the “adventure” in their name seriously and provide guests with a fun and
thrilling boat ride on their ridged inflatables. Our captain was entertaining
and informing. The tour lasted about three hours and included passing through a
giant kelp farm, hundreds of dolphins, skipping over the waves at “22 mph”, and
lots of fun facts and humor. The tour is suitable for kids and adults of all
ages. Highly recommended for anyone that wants to get close to marine mammals in
a small fast boat.”

– Jeff C.

Chills.



“Our captain was absollutely phenomenal! We had a complete blast flying through
the ocean in search of marine wldlife. We saw huge pelicans, lots of sea lions,
a school of tuna, and a giant mega pod of dolphins. Our captain had us lean over
the front of the boat to watch the dolphins swim under us, and when the dolphins
turned over to make eye contact…just…wow. Chills. It was a once in a lifetime
kind of experience that we will never forget. We even got to see a dolphin give
birth right beside the boat! This experience was the highlight of our trip and
we would very highly recommend!”

– Christina G.

Truly Unforgettable!



“The best part of our week in San Diego! Truly a bucket list experience that we
will remember forever! Adventure Whale Watching is incredible and made the whole
experience easy and so fun. I will be rebooking with them every time I find
myself back in San Diego! We saw hundreds of dolphins and around 15 whales
during our few hours out on the water – truly unforgettable! “

– Sara C.

Hidden Gem



“What a great way to get out there and see the whales. The big boats can’t give
you this feeling of adventure, speed, and see more stuff. I live in San Diego
and feel like this is a hidden gem that I will turn on to my visiting family and
friends. Our Captain is the best.”

– Frank S. 

Phenomenal Captain



“Our Captain was truly amazing, *****Kind, patient, a phenomenal captain ( I had
Zero zero Motion sickness) and would not give up until we saw gray whales… which
we did!!!!! So awesome! Absolutely 100% recommend!!! Our kids (11, 15) had a
great time too! Do not hesitate to go enjoy the ocean and the wildlife with one
of the captains! Thank you!”

– Dr Wendy S.
