Tours and Tickets by Next Level Sailing
Overview
Though several whale watching tours operate out of San Diego, only one cruise whisks passengers out to sea on an actual sailboat. Harness the power of the wind on this whale watching sail, where you board a replica 1851 ship for your cruise. Enjoy unobstructed views from the decks, get a smooth ride, and expect great views of the sea creatures you spot—since they're not scared by a motor.

Review of: San Diego Whale Watching Cruise
Although we didn't see any whales, we saw a large nursery pod of dolphins. Love the setup for Covid. We had our own section to sit and all precautions were taken. Beautiful day.

Review of: San Diego Whale Watching Cruise
We had a lovely day out on the ocean on our whale watching trip on the America. What a beautiful sailing ship! The crew were all very attentive and professional. They made a special effort to make everyone feel comfortable and spent time educating the children on board about whales and other sea creatures. Even though we didn't see any whales on our trip, it was still a great cruise. I'm so glad they are still able to take people out during this time. They definitely were taking extra precautions due to the coronavirus and all the guests had plenty of room with ample space between each party. I highly recommend this cruise for everyone, young and old.…

Review of: San Diego Whale Watching Cruise
What a FUN adventure! I loved that due to COVID, the sail only had a max of 35 people aboard compared to 70! I was able to see water spray out of the whales blowhole and a portion of the whales body, which was neat! I also saw dolphins! These dolphins were not dolphins I've seen previously. I think they were a different species. They appeared smaller; but they were beautiful none-the-less. I loved the hospitality on the cruise, along with the complimentary beverages and snacks offered, multiple times. The bathroom aboard was also very clean. I would definitely recommend this cruise and would love to return myself! P.S. Bring cash to leave a nice gratuity for a job well done! P.P.S. Bring lots of layers. It gets very cold and extremely windy in the open water. Feel free to bring gloves, scarves, hats, coats, jackets, and/or blankets. You will not be sorry.…

Review of: San Diego Whale Watching Cruise
Excellent experience! The crew are friendly and very serious about COVID-19 precautions. They also made it a very enjoyable afternoon cruising on the ocean. No whale-sighting in our case, but lots of dolphins.
