From our armed forces and our local wildlife, to intricate history of our city of San Diego. It was a wonderful time!

Captain Fozzi and 1st mate Bailey made this tour amazing. They are so full of energy! My wife and son loved it. I’ve always wanted to try this tour since I’m a socal local but just never have. Thankfully my first experience was with Them!!

Fun Way to See and Learn About San Diego

Michelle_C, Nov 2022

It was a fun way to get an overview of the San Diego area and learn a bit about the area along the way. Enjoyed seeing the sea lions too!

Good tour for an introduction to the harbour

Rick_C, Nov 2022

A quick, interesting tour of the city followed by some time on the water. We enjoyed seeing the seals, but it is a bit too long on the water to get to and from the seals

Awesome Time

Courtney_C, Nov 2022

We had a blast on our seal tour! The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because we had a little mishap with the vehicle. The captain Fozii and the 1st mate, Brett handle things very well and got us all back safely! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves seals, sea lions, and dad jokes☺️

A Must Do!

Valorie_O, Nov 2022

This was our first sea tour it was awesome you do spend most of the time in the water my son loved it! It was nice you dont go to fast so no need to worry about motion sickness! The Capitan (Michael) and first mate (Salem) were awesome!
