Head out on a whale-watching cruise in San Diego aboard a replica of the sailing schooner that won the first America's Cup sailing race in 1851. As you cruise, a guide provides commentary about the region's gray whales, dolphins, and other marine creatures. Along the way, you also learn about the notable US Navy sites you pass while heading out to the Pacific Ocean. This trip on the sailing ship America offers the chance to see migrating whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, and the operator notes it comes with a 'no seasickness' guarantee.
This cruise pairs wildlife watching with a bit of nautical character, since it sails aboard a replica of the schooner that won the first America's Cup in 1851. A guide narrates the region's gray whales, dolphins, and other marine life, and also points out the notable US Navy sites you pass on the way out to the Pacific. That mix suits travelers who want to see migrating whales and dolphins in the wild while learning a little about what they are looking at, and the operator's no-seasickness guarantee is aimed at anyone nervous about being on open water.
This is an on-the-water nature outing, not a city history walk or a paranormal tour, and sightings of wild animals are never guaranteed by their nature. If you want street-level San Diego or its after-dark legends, look at a land-based tour instead. If you want a chance at whales and dolphins from the deck of a distinctive sailing ship, with commentary along the way, this is the trip.
