San Diego SEAL Tours

What drives like a bus and glides like a boat? The San Diego SEAL Tour, of course!

If you’ve ever wished for a tour that showcases the most interesting vantage point of San Diego, then climb aboard the San Diego SEAL Tour and see America’s Finest City how it was meant to be seen – by sea and by land!

The fun begins at Seaport Village or at Embarcadero, when our Hydra-Terra amphibious vehicle takes off heading on the road around the Big Bay where you will get a chance to see the USS Midway Museum, the Maritime Museum where the Star of India is docked, Lindbergh Field – our international airport dedicated to Charles Lindbergh, Liberty Station and more!

A Thrilling Change of Venue

After your 15-minute road trip, get ready for a thrilling change of venue…and vehicle…as the San Diego SEAL effortlessly splashes down into the bay. The boat is a US Coast Guard approved vehicle that was designed to travel on land and in the water. It offers a comfortable, relaxed, and safe way to see all that San Diego has to offer from a very unique perspective. In fact, it is the ONLY amphibious tour in San Diego.

As you glide along the beautiful, calm waters of San Diego Bay, you will see several significant sights including the North Island Naval Air Station which is one of the largest military repair facilities for jet fighter planes as well as the birthplace of Naval Aviation, the Point Loma Nuclear Submarine Base, and the Marine Mammal Training Center. Keep a watchful eye on the water as our friendly San Diego sea lions are awaiting your arrival. You may also catch a glimpse of a Cormorant, Great Blue Heron, and California Brown Pelican along the way. After turning the boat back into a bus, your SEAL crew will take you on a 15-minute leisurely drive back to where it all started.

Captain Kyle and First Mate Marlena were among the best tour guides I've ever had. Marlena's enthusiasm and deep knowledge truly enhanced the experience, making it unforgettable. Captain Kyle's expert driving and great sense of humor added to the fun, making the tour both safe and entertaining. My only complaint was that we were seated above the engine, which was blowing out very hot air.

We love reading about our guests' experiences, and our CAST also enjoys knowing that they made your trip memorable. Thank you for taking the time to write this. We hope to see you again next time you visit one of our destinations.

The San Diego Seal Tour was such a fun and unique experience! It's a great way to see the city from both land and water. The tour starts on land, giving you a nice overview of the city's landmarks, then transforms into a boat as you splash into the harbor. The views of the San Diego skyline from the water were stunning, and we got to see sea lions up close, which was a real treat. The tour guide was entertaining and full of interesting facts about the city and its history. Overall, the Seal Tour is a perfect blend of sightseeing and adventure. Whether you're a local or a visitor, it's a must-do in San Diego!

Wow, we're so glad you had a great time! Thanks for sharing those great pictures as well! We hope to see you back.

It was a great tour with a hostile welcome. Here's the text I received 90 Minutes before our tour. SEAL Tour - Must sign in 30 minutes prior to tour @ Ticket Booth, 825 West Harbor Dr, Seaport Village, San Diego, CA, 92101. Late Check-in may result in forfeited seat. Use of Ride Share services is highly recommended. Missed tours times are non-refundable. So my first experience is oh gosh I have to get down there ! Anxiety, rushing and being faced with the forfeiture of $160 dollars is not good for my attitude. As it turned out we had MORE than enough time. The woman in the ticket booth was completely frazzled. I told my hub she must be having a bad day. The notice only needs a slight tweek in the script. I felt threatened. I hope they change their threat/boarding instructions. Please ask me, I have ideas. Our captain Michael was sweet and helpful. He was also very good at driving the vehicle. Our guide Charlie was also very nice. His narration was a bit dry. We compared him to the duck tour in Boston which we visited in October. The duck tour was a scream! Ben was so funny and the social bonding of quacking at everyone was hilarious! The Seal tour was much more sedate. Lovely tho. The cruise on the bay gave me a wonderful breeze and great view of San Diego sights. I recommend but hope they ease up the threatening notification.

We're so happy to hear that you had such a great time! Thank you for sharing your experience here. Come and visit us again!

CPT James and first mate Lila for the best tour guides around SAN DIEGO. Lila was full of energy while giving the tour on the boat, and genuinely sounded like she enjoyed what she was doing and love for the city of San Diego. She constantly made sure guests had questions answered and walked around to take pictures. We were very lucky and got to see the dolphins that were being trained by Navy, many sea lions. it was overall a fun way to learn about the history of the city. CPT Brian got us as close to the sea lions and it was smooth sailing from the start. Parking a seaport village can be validated after the tour

Thank you so much for your detailed comments! Our CAST is very proud of the work they do, and it sounds like it pays off. We're glad to know we're hitting the mark. We hope to see you again next time.

Captain Kyle and first made Lila were great!! What a great experience! We learned a lot. We got to see the Marine corps. We also got to see a ship drone, lots of seals, must try!

25 minutes on land and an hour in the water

Aug 31, 2024

We're so happy to hear you had a great time! Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. I'm sure our team also loves seeing their names on here. We hope you'll come back for more next time you're in one of our other destinations.

Our family took the tour while on vacation and had so much fun! Plenty of parking- discount validation. Staff were knowledgeable and fun. The weather was perfect on the day we went. The kids got a kick out of the sea lions. The vehicle accommodates those who are unable to climb up the stairs. A must for! Family fun

Aug 4, 2024

This is a great 90 minute harbor cruise, which starts on land while sightseeing and learning history of old town San Diego. Once you move from land to sea, you see lots of seals and marine life while hearing about the bay, the Naval areas and Shelter Island and surrounding history. Such a fun trip, I highly recommend it!

Jul 3, 2024

Although we live in San Diego, we don't always have the time to do the stuff tourists do. So when we were planning A California Coastal Cruise, we decided to book the Seal Tour. I purchased the tickets in advance. Upon arrival, we signed our names to the manifest. Waited until 2:45pm for our bus. It took some time for the previous to get down and for us to board the bus. We were on our way a little after 3pm. About 5 minutes into our tour, our bus overheated and we had to pull aside. After few tries, our Captain, Kyle informed us that there is another bus on it's way and that we will need to move once it arrives. Soon after, the new bus arrived and we transferred. 1st mate/Tour guide was Salem. She was very helpful, patient and informative. We learned things we didn't know about and saw Seal Lions close up. They are HUGE! Even with the set back, we had a wonderful experience. My husband and I were talking about doing this tour again in the future.

Nov 10, 2023

It's a great compliment to hear that one of our visitors would come back. We'd love to see you visit us again! You’ll also find our tours in Nashville, Saint Augustine, Savannah, Key West, Boston, and Washington DC.

A fun weekend event! This tour was enjoyable and comfortable. A full street and boat tour lead by personable and knowledgeable Captain and 1st mate ;-) The seals were out in abundance, although taking a midday nap, they woke up just to wave and say hi! Definitely a fun thing to do and enjoy Seaport Village when you're done!

San Diego is so beautiful

Dec 17, 2023

We are so happy you had a great time with our CAST. We hope you'll visit us again when you visit one of our destinations.

Awesome tour!! Kim and Robert were great, Kim noted alot of info and facts along the way and even had a list of restaurant recommendations for us to take a picture of, they also made us feel safe about the entire experience... Definitely recommend.

SEAL Tours - Sea and Land Adventures

Make a Splash on San Diego's Only Amphibious Tour

Make a Splash on the SEAL! Experience San Diego as it was meant to be experienced...by land and by sea! The new "Hydra Terras" provide you with the unique ability to see America's Finest City on San Diego's only amphibious sightseeing tour. This 90-minute fully-narrated journey departs from Seaport Village located at 500 Kettner Blvd. As you travel along the beautiful Big Bay by land, you will learn about the early fishing industry, the people as well as the history of this 14-mile long working bay. The tour on land takes you past the San Diego International Airport dedicated to aviator Charles Lindbergh, just one of the many people you will hear about on your tour. Then, you will splash down into San Diego Bay off Shelter Island, where you begin your water-tour segment of the journey. As the SEAL travels through the north end of the Big Bay, keep your eyes peeled for a chance encounter with a California Brown Pelican, the majestic Blue Heron, or perhaps a Sea Lion or two. Learn about the important role the military plays in San Diego. The Big Bay provides views of Point Loma, home to the Cabrillo National Monument, Naval Air Station North Island, the Point Loma Submarine Base, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Navy's marine mammal training center. The return trip takes you, once again, back up on land where you will return to your starting point via Harbor Drive while you pass the Maritime Museum, the Cruise Ship Terminal and the USS Midway Museum.

Monomoy Island Excursion

Monomoy Island Excursions is a family owned and operated business in Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Massachussets. For over 10 years we’ve been taking people out to Monomoy , a barrier island and wildlife refuge off the coast of Chatham,MA, where thousands of seals have made their home.

While seals are the main attraction on our cruise, there is a lot more to see! We visit  Wychmere Harbor , in Harwich Port. This is one of the most scenic harbors on the Cape! We also stop in to  Stage Harbor  in Chatham, where you get a close up view of  Stage Harbor Lighthouse  and see   Chatham Lighthouse . Not to mention the combination of large yachts, small sailboats, and various fishing boats that fill each harbor. You get a real taste of the sea life on  Nantucket Sound .

We run seal cruises several times a day, generally lasting 1 1/2 hours. While we see lots of harbor seals and gray seals,  Monomoy  is also home to hundreds of species of birds and other wildlife. There is a trained naturalist on board who narrates the tour and can answer questions about the wildlife as well as the history of the island and the historic  Monomoy Lighthouse .
