We took the 9:00 AM City Cruises whale watching tour in San Diego using our Go City Pass, and we got way more than we bargained for! The crew mentioned they haven't seen this many whale breaches at one time in over 3 years.

In this video, I’m sharing our honest experience, practical tips on what to wear and bring, how to spot spouts in the open ocean, and the key differences between large cruise boats and smaller tour zodiacs. Stick around until the end to watch the incredible breaching footage!

📍 Location: San Diego Bay & Pacific Ocean (City Cruises)
🎟️ Pass Used: Go City San Diego Pass
