I was only in SD for the day, already had plans for the evening, this 2 hour tour was perfect to complete my visit. Got to see so much, the pricing was right, not crowded at all.

Book directly with cruse company if you can. Companies like Viator keep popping up and they make it look like your booking director but your not. It costs more by going through a third party. They need to quit this scam. They do the same with booking hotels. Very frustrating. I have had them outright lie to me when I asked if I was speaking to a certain hotel. Cost me $50/ night more. NOTHING BUT A SCAM.

This was an excellent experience. We were able to see a Japanese Destroyer coming into port along with an unmanned Navy boat. There was so much to see and the narrator did an excellent job of describing the sites and history of all the things we were seeing. We would definitely recommend this tour. We both felt the north port cruise had more to see.

We happened to get perfect weather for our 2 hour Harbor Cruise in January so it was beautiful. North Island Navy base was also putting on a show, with F-18s and Sikorskys taking off. JJ our tour guide did a great job, talking the perfect amount - not too much not too little, leaving some peaceful silent periods.
Great views

This harbor tour was very cool around the marina and being that San Diego is one of my favorite places and I finally got to do this. This was really awesome. Just a heads up. I was there the first week of June and certain parts of the tour that you do get a little cool so you might want to bring a jacket on the tour but overall I’d definitely recommend anyone to do this.
