What people are saying about Seaport Village, San Diego
We took our 6 year old twin grandsons and 3 year old granddaughter on the Seal Tour. We sat up front so we could see the pictures and objects the tour guide shared and they were captivated the entire time. We learned about the naval boats we passed, the dolphin training facility and we traveled quite closely to the floating platform that the sea lions and seabirds love to camp out on. The guide was very entertaining and informative, asked the kiddos questions, qne was patient with their questions. Our grandkids loved to see how the bus turned into a boat and back again. It was a great experience for all of us. Please tell everyone that they need to BE AT THE BUS BOARDING AREA 30 MINUTES AHEAD OF TIME. Even though you have paid for your tickets ahead of time, the service will sell some others your spot if you are not there no less than 30 minutes ahead of time. No real big communication or posting of this anywhere!!

We had a beautiful day to enjoy our SEAL Harbor Tour - the sun was shining, the water was calm and the temperatures were perfect! My husband and I enjoyed hearing about the city and how much of the bay was dredged and islands built. When our "car" turned into a "boat" on the bay it was really fun- Seeing San Diego and the surrounding areas from the water, learning about the different activities that were happening around us and even seeing a young porpoise being trained by her Navy handler all made for a very pleasurable experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to people of all ages, those who live locally as well as those visiting the area!

Very nice experience, I loved when we drove into the water just got a little scared when we were going through all the waves. The sea lions did stink but that was to be expected. The experience was nice, but on land it was a bit cold with all the cold air driving, but overall I would definitely recommend it to others.
