Whale Watching in San Diego
SEE SOME OF SAN DIEGO’S MARINE LIFE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
Here at Aolani, our customers love hopping aboard our beautiful catamaran sailboat to catch a glimpse of some of San Diego’s legendary sea life. Join us for an unforgettable day on the water as you and your guests gaze at all kinds of gorgeous creatures, including whales, dolphins, and sea lions. The San Diego bay offers amazing opportunities for whale watching and traveling in the Aolani is about as up close and personal as you can get!
Our catamaran sailboat is built for versatility. It uses powerful, twin turbo diesel engines to get you and your crew out to the open ocean twice as fast as a conventional sailboat. You don’t have to wait around the San Diego harbor hoping to catch a glimpse at a gray whale. We take you straight to the heart of the action as soon as possible. When you get to the open ocean, we cut the engines to give you some peace and quiet, so you can focus all your energy on the city’s marine life. It’s the perfect way to get out of the city and back in touch with nature. From personal get-togethers to corporate parties and educational excursions, we do it all.
San Diego is known for its majestic sea life. Finback, humpback, blue and gray whales are always splashing about in the local area, as well as dolphins, seals, and various other marine creatures. The photo opportunities are endless. Our guests usually catch several glimpses of these stunning creatures throughout their trip. Our guides know just about everything there is to know about these various creatures, including whale migration paths, feeding patterns, and other important details that help our guests see as many whales as possible. We’ll do everything we can to make sure you don’t come home empty handed.
While November through April is the peak season for blue-whale watching in this part of the Pacific Ocean, you and your guests can take off on a family-friendly marine life tour all year long, thanks to San Diego’s gorgeous weather. Our dual-hull catamaran will give you and your guests a stable, safe and smooth ride to help you make the most of this special occasion. You can spend more time with the creatures of the sea without worrying about turbulence or getting seasick. If you’re new to the art of whale watching, this is the cruise for you.
