5.00Alex, our speedboat guide was relaxed, confident and funny. He gave clear, easy to follow directions and provided a very enjoyable tour. Kellen, sorry if I spelled your name wrong, and Billy were our crew for the gocars. They were very friendly, laidback and made the whole experience very easy. We are from the Midwest and are known for being “Iowa Nice” but this crew rivaled Midwest neighborly love. We had teenagers that said 10/10 would do it all again.
So fun.😊

5.00I went for my son’s Birthday party and it was so fun. David are guide was so nice and very knowledgeable of the San Diego harbor. I would like to go again just to drive the boats around the harbor. Thanks you San Diego Speed Boat Adventures.
Tons of fun and educational. Loved it!

5.00This was so much fun and we are already planning to go again next time we are in town. Jeremy was a great guide. Seeing all the seals was an unexpected bonus and making my husband scream while doing donuts and jumping waves was the cherry on top.
Loved it so fun!!

5.00David was our boat tour guide. Not only did we learn so much from him , but his personality was amazing. You can really tell he loves his job, which in return gave us the best possible experience ever. Thank you so much. This was one of the highlights of San Diego!
Boats and go carts makes you feel like you’re in a movie

3.00It was nice but the guide stoped working about 1/4 of the way through so we had to use our own Waze app to gps back. We cut the trip short to avoid getting lost.
Must do in San Diego

5.00Did both Go Cars and Speedboat Adventures. Can’t say enough good things about both. Parents and kids had a ball, tons of laughing, sight seeing and overall a great time. 13 yo girls favorite part of the trip was the Go Cars and 10 yo boy favorite part of the weekend was Speedboats. Definitely worth your time and money.
Fun times seeing the city from land and the sea.

4.00The boats were fun but I would have liked hearing more history along the coast and if there were less boats in the group it may have been easier to keep track. The go cars were fun also but we ran into to much traffic in balboa park so we didn’t get to see that on the tour which was no fault of go cars but still a little disappointing
