Is it a boat? Is it a bus? No - it's San Diego's original amphibious water and land adventure! Commonly known as a duck tour, the San Diego Seal Tour is a fun and unique way to explore the city from the streets and the sea.

This 90-minute fully-narrated journey departs from Seaport Village located on Harbor Drive at the Embarcadero. As you travel along the beautiful Big Bay by land, you will hear stories of early sailors as well as the history of the 14-mile long working bay. You also will learn about the importance of the military in San Diego. Pass by San Diego International Airport, dedicated to aviator Charles Lindbergh, just one of the many people you will hear about on your San Diego Seal Tour.

Then, you will splash down into the San Diego Bay off Shelter Island, where you begin the 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 Big Bay provides views of Point Loma, home to the Cabrillo National Monument, Naval Air Station North Island, the Point Loma Submarine Base and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The area is a popular playground for seals and sea-lions so keep your eyes out during your San Diego duck tour - make that seal tour!

Return to land where you will return to your starting point via Harbor Drive, passing the Maritime Museum and Cruise Ship Terminal along the way.

I do this kind of tour anytime I am on vacation where they offer one. I am never disappointed. This one was great! The crew was fun and informative and kept us entertained, including following a couple of dolphins so we could watch them. I would recommend this tour to everyone!

This tour rocked! It was very informative and the driver and tour guide were awesome! It really is quite a long tour that show's you most of the Downtown San Diego sites. The guide was great and kept up the info intermixed with jokes so it was not boring for my kids. I took an 11 and 10 year old and they thought it was so cool when we went in the water. The boat portion of the tour is phenomenal. You are able to walk around and take pictures. I definitely suggest this to anyone traveling with kids

This was a lot of fun. The views of the San Diego harbor were good, especially down at Point Loma where most of this tour takes place.

Our Captain and First Mate were extremely knowledgable about the San Diego area and history. I loved hearing all the trivia facts!! They were both entertaining and excellent people skills! We were lucky enough to see the baby whale in the harbor off of Shelter Island and Point Loma! What a bonus on this tour!!
