We did the tour of the South harbor. We saw the Coronado bridge and a bunch of the ships. It was a great experience. The narrator was awesome and explaining the history of the ships and what we were looking at. He really knew what he was talking about and it made the trip so much more interesting to find out all of the cool history that we would not have otherwise known.
Great time that’s fun and relaxing!

My wife and I decided to go on the harbor cruise on the spur of the moment. We decided to go on the 2hr and we were so glad we did! It was a beautiful day in San Diego, and a great day to be on the water! The guide was funny and entertaining. He was very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and the history of the harbor. If you’re in the San Diego area and want to do something fun and relaxing this is definitely worth the cost of admission!

The tour passed many military points of interest that were all pointed out. The 2 hour tour has a 15 minute break back at the dock to pick up more passengers.
A great afternoon on the harbour!
