Private Whale Watching Sailing Tour- San Diego
This Whale Watching sailing trip will leave from our marina and we will head towards the end of the channel, out of the bay! We will stop next to the seals on our way out. It will take us 2 hours to get to the end of the channel and we will look for whales, dolphins and other wildlife that we can spot. San Diego is ideally located along the whales’ migration route from Alaska to Baja, California where they migrate in search of warmer waters.
While whale sightings are never guaranteed, usually February – April is the best time of year for sighting whales.
