It was a beautiful day and the tour was nice. There need to be many, many more chairs on the top deck! No one wants to sit inside on a nice day, but there was nowhere to sit. Also, practically impossible to hear the narration.
Very interesting

A very informative and interesting insight into the workings of San Diego Harbour. The narration during the cruise highlights some of the historic sights as well as the more modern additions to the harbour. The narration also included an a detailed look at the influence and presence of the US Navy in the harbour. Some wildlife sightings were also observed, with sealions and many bird species among others. A very enjoyable 2 hours.

It was a cute experience, took some really nice pictures and purchased the photo they took however the tour itself was super boring. All we saw were Navy ships. Felt more like a field trip for history class

The tour guide on both side of the bay north and south gave excellent details of the peninsula and Coronado Island. We saw the sea lions and even a couple of dolphins along with seeing the San Diego skyline and the multitude of historic ships and their docks. Also helicopters flew overhead. I did this tour first time August 2024
Great, we love the narrative

We did the full 2 hour harbor tour: North and South. It was beautiful although I enjoyed the South Harbor best. That side went past Coronado Island. The weather was perfect but I do recommend taking a jacket. The wind gets chilly.
Great Tour
