San Diego Harbor Tours

San Diego Harbor Tours

Cruise either the North or South San Diego Bay, or both. We originally picked up tickets for the full 2-hour bay tour but left the boat after the first hour's North Bay tour. The North Bay tour sights include: the Naval Air Station, Harbor and Shelter Islands, the Naval Sub Base, and the Cabrillo Park.

I have to preface my comments with the fact that I am not a boat person. I tend to get seasick quickly, so that definitely limits my pleasure in the experience, to say the least.

You take in the scenery from the top level of an open yacht, the Marietta. We had our choice of seats as we boarded early and the top level was only at 30% capacity that morning.

Our narrator gave a wealth of information but unfortunately, the intercom was not loud enough to overcome the ship noise to clearly hear everything he said. It didn't help me when we moved closer either. He also tended to speak rather fast and packed in lots of facts, so that, too, made it difficult to make out clearly what he was saying. A very knowledgeable and informative tour guide.

My favorite part of the tour was seeing the sea lion island. My husband liked watching the Hornet fighter jet take off from the Naval Air Station.

One hour in an open seating with reflected sun off the water was enough for our family. We were rather tired also of the wave motion and were eager to see Legoland, so we exited before the South Bay tour began.
