San Diego Whale : Watching Harbor Cruises
Ever felt the exhilaration that comes from watching a creature as majestic as the whale launch itself into the air, flip and splash back into the sea? No? Well then you are definitely missing out on one of the greatest sights in the world. The grey whale migrates every year from the freezing ice-cold Arctic waters to the warm lagoons in California where the females proceed to calf. San Diego happens to lie along the 10,000 mile migratory path and provides a wonderful opportunity to do some whale-watching. San Diego’s harbor cruises offer the ultimate whale-watching experience while allowing you a relaxing tour far away from the hustle and bustle of the streets.
San Diego’s harbor cruises are also ideal for a tour of the city from the waterfront, often described a view of the city from the water. The options range from one-hour to two-hour cruises, with varied route options but still allowing you spectacular views of the whales or even sun-bathing sea lions on buoys from the comfort of your seat. It is quite obvious, by now, that water plays a very important role in San Diego. There are plenty of things to do in San Diego, including sailing or yachting. The harbor cruises will allow you to view and explore sites while on the water as the city practically surrounds it. A harbor cruise is a good way to also get a feel of the size of the Coronado Bridge, an experience not worth passing up.
Wednesdays in San Diego are fun-filled and ideal for harbor cruises as most of the sailing boats are brought out to participate in the ‘beer can’ race. You can also try going on a dinner harbor cruise during the week and have a meal while you take a tour of the city and sites. If you’re in San Diego for a weekend getaway, try the brunch harbor cruise where you get a combination of breakfast and lunch with the added benefit of a view from the waterfront. San Diego enjoys an abundance of fresh, quality produce thanks to its warm climate and prime position right next to the Pacific Ocean. You can be assured that the cuisine combined with the harbor cruise will make it a sense-heightening experience that you will remember for a life-time.
One of San Diego’s other attractions is yachting. San Diego’s warm climate and 70 miles of beach allows you to get adventurous while on vacation. Why not try chartering a boat or yacht while on vacation. Do not worry if you have never raced with a yacht or if you do not even know how to sail a boat. San Diego has numerous sailing schools where you can take lessons and in no time learn the skills needed to harness the powerful wind and steer a boat whichever way you so please. A good starting point to charter a yacht would be to check out San Diego’s Next Level Sailing. This is a charter boat company that sails America’s Cup Class yachts, magnificent 80-foot long yachts that provide an adrenaline-rushing experience while sailing them. Chartering a yacht would be an ideal crowning activity to your San Diego vacation.
