USA Road Trip: A Suggested Cross-Country Itinerary for 2025

"Taking a whale-watching tour with companies like City Cruises California is a fantastic way to see migrating gray whales up close between December and April, and I noted a typical 4-hour tour costs around $73." - Matthew Kepnes

The cruise was great and showed a lot of areas of the San Diego harbor area. Lots of sailboats and navy ships and other craft to see. There are a lot of beautiful views on this Cruise. I would have gave it five stars but I couldn't hear the narration very well. They need to turn up the volume or speak louder.

We took a 90 min cruise with city pass at 3:30pm and it was a great experience with nice views of the entire bay! I’d recommend getting in line 20-30 min before your scheduled time to make sure you get a good spot to sit on the top deck during the cruise.

Amazing cruise. The narration was very informative and I learned a lot of interesting facts about San Diego. It’s windy on the deck though. We went on a hot day and the wind was very comfortable but it might be uncomfortable on a cold day.

We went on the 1.5 hour cruise. We sat on the top deck. I recommend sitting on the right side. Everything they talk about is mostly on that side. Although you can get up and walk around. Wear plenty of sunscreen! There is a covered inside. Wash rooms. Snacks-we had pretzels with cheese and a fruit plate that was delicious. Drinks are available. They have you scan a QR code to open a tab. Or you can do it old school. I loved all the info on the bay restaurants and the ships in the harbor. We saw the seals playing. Also, the Navy Seals training. All the info about the different military boats. Great price!

We did a 2hour tour of the harbor. The staff were very friendly. They offered a very informative tour explaining all the buildings and ships around the harbor. Even got to see some sea lions chilling on the port. They have a decent menu for beer and chips.

Highlight of my trip! This boat tour was amazing, I saw so many dolphins, and I saw a whale! The cell service is great. I had plenty of food. The ship has many different spots to sit. There is a lot of shade spots and lots of sunny spots, there is a bathroom on board.

My family took this cruise as an activity with the GoCity pass. We were visiting San Diego for the week and wanted to see as much of the city as possible. We were not allowed to get our tickets in advance, but did not have any issues on the day of the cruise. Our GoCity passes worked as tickets. On the boat, there was limited seating. Many families had to sit inside because there was no room outside. There was absolutely no shade on the top of the boat. It was so hot. Make sure to bring a hat and visor. You can get what looks like a 4oz soda for $4. My husband joked that they took a can of soda and divided it four ways and charged us $16. We did not see any whales. My children were bored for four hours. We saw sea lions and two types of dolphins. That was a total of 10 minutes or less, which means we were in the hot sun for almost four hours. My husband and son fell asleep for a couple of hours. We were given a voucher to come back again to look for whales, but my family was not interested.
