Spend about 75 minutes cruising Mission Bay aboard the Ohana, with sunset views near Ocean Beach Pier, SeaWorld, Vacation Isle, music, a bar, and onboard restrooms. This is a relaxed bay ride, not an open-ocean or narrated wildlife cruise.

“It is a large boat with about 50 passengers. There is a bar and snacks for purchase. Sunset did not disappoint!”

2.Snorkel San Diego’s Mission Bay with a Marine Biologist

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 55 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $60Top rated

Join marine biologist Matt for a 60-minute snorkel in calm Mission Bay. He supplies snorkel gear, explains local sea life, and sends a digital photo album. The group is capped at five, but you must rent your own wetsuit for about $17.

“Matt was very knowledgeable about what we would see and took the time to explain and make sure everyone understood how to use the equipment. The location was perfect for beginners and we saw octopus, lobster, crabs, sea slugs and all sorts of fish. Matt even sends you some nice pics and videos of the excursion. I took my 13 year old grandson with me and it was a great experience. Definitely recommend.”
