Touring our own city

5.00My husband and I did a "staycation" in downtown San Diego and decided to go on the 2 hour harbor cruise. The boat was really nice- 3 levels with beverages/snacks on all levels. There were tables and chairs set up and one had good views everywhere. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Even though we live in San Diego, we still learned a lot of things we did not know and it was a wonderful day to see our city.
I'd do it again tomorrow!

4.00It was a beautiful, very informative tour! The only negative thing is the boat goes back to dock every hour. We booked a 2 hour tour so half way through, time was spent docking and letting people off who were at the end of their 2 hour tour or only booked a one hour trip. It took 15 min to 20 minutes of our tour away,
Great short cruise option

5.00We booked through Groupon and got a great deal, but even at full price for a 2 hour tour it would be worth it. It was relaxing, interesting, educational and all on a gorgeous day.

5.00Here’s a short review you could use: My family and I enjoyed a wonderful San Diego Harbor Cruise this week. The one-hour cruise was the perfect sightseeing excursion, offering beautiful views of the harbor, skyline, waterfront homes, and local landmarks. The weather was lovely, making for a relaxing and scenic experience on the water. The crew was friendly, and the narration provided interesting facts about San Diego’s history and harbor. A great way to spend an afternoon and see the city from a different perspective. Highly recommended!
