5.00Shyann was a hoot! She gave us a lot of little facts we didn’t know about. She was very funny and energetic. We would definitely take another SEAL tour with his company!
So much fun to go on...

5.00So much fun to go on ‘land’ and then ‘sea’ aboard the Seal. We saw dolphins, brown pelicans, sea lions. The guide was very informative. I was especially touched by him as we were with a group of special needs young people. He was so kind and inclusive.
Nice job, Gus and Salty!...

4.00Overall it was a nice experience. However, the sound system was bad. I could only understand about 75% of what the tour guide was saying. Not sure if it was him not speaking clearly enough or the amplification of it. The tour was on time and interesting.
Great tour

5.00Straightforward to get to, very good tour information, and handicap accessibility (they have a lift for people who need it). I think it's a great tour to do on a more low key day in San Diego. Blankets provided
