4.00It would of been better if we just did one big circle around the Bay for an hour and a half. Instead of north side back to the habor then south side tour. It seemed too long.
Great way to spend an afternoon

5.00Takes some time but very rewarding We saw a small whale, sea lions, pelicans, a small nuclear submarine dropping personnel off to local coast guard boat plus a very impressive array of our current navy fleet. All narrated by someone in touch with all aspects of the harbor. Not your usual afternoon Great time!
A Must do Activity

5.00Fantastic 2 hour tour of San Diego from the water. The crew is friendly and knowledgeable. We especially appreciated all of the information about the naval base. This is a must do activity.
A+ for the San Diego harbor cruise.

5.00The San Diego harbor cruise was a delightful experience. Rusty, the guide was very informative and friendly. While on the one hour cruise, we saw sea lions, a whale, planes taking off and a submarine being brought into the harbor. It was very relaxing and we enjoyed every minute.
Very informative

4.00Very informative. Tour guide was great but it was difficult to identify some of the points of interest he was talking about. My main complaint is a group boarded with 5 or 6 children who ran around the boat yelling and it was almost impossible to hear the guide. One child tried to run up the stairs and almost knocked an elderly vision impaired woman down. I think you need rules around this.
Mellow harbor cruise!

5.00Such a cool experience! Thankfully the weather was perfect for our harbor cruise. I definitely recommend doing the full 2 hours to get a close up look at the Coronado bridge. Our captain, crew and navigator were all friendly and helpful. The beer, wine and booze selections were fully stocked. Would love to take this cruise again!
