Whale Watching

Join Us for a Whale of a Time

Hop aboard a whale watching adventure with our partner cruise lines for a chance to see whales out in the wild! Our Whaler volunteers join every whale watching cruise offered by City Cruises San Diego and Legacy Whale Watch, making each voyage fun and educational. You’ll learn about ocean wildlife and conservation as you enjoy a day out on the water spotting dolphins, seals, and sea lions, migrating gray whales in the winter, and majestic blue whales in the summer.
