Birch Aquarium Whale Watching
Description:
Whale watching season began on December 1 with twice-daily cruises that continues through April 14. Led by expert naturalists from Birch Aquarium, guests will witness part of the longest marine mammal migrations in the world, when 20,000 semi-truck-sized Gray Whales pass San Diego on their 10,000-mile round-trip journey from the Bering Sea to Baja California tranquil lagoons.
Beyond Gray Whales, the 3.5 hour cruises include a San Diego Bay harbor tour - including highlights of San Diego's military history - and glimpses of dolphins, seals, sea lions, sea birds and more.
Weekend cruise tickets are $48 for adults and $24 for children ages 4-12, weekday tickets are $43 for adults and $21.50 for children, and children under 3 are free every day. Discounts for military, seniors and Birch Aquarium members are also available. Cruises depart at 9:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. from 990 Harbor Drive in Downtown San Diego.
