Best whale watching trip - Me and my family went on the Legacy whale watching cruise in early July 2023. It was absolutely AMAZING! We saw 5 blue whales and many pods of common dolphins. I can’t wait to come back and would definitely recommend Legacy to anyone looking for a great time!!

So much fun! - We loved our whale watching experience with Legacy! The guides were very knowledgeable and the experience amazing. We found two giant pods of dolphins, one of about 40 or 50, which stayed with us for over 30 minutes. The crew angled us right next to them, and the dolphins seemed to have a lot of fun playing, jumping and showing off for us. We were SO close! It was magical. We also saw many birds, a seal and California Sea Lions, of course. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales that day, but the crew was in constant contact with other boats the whole time, ready to share a sighting experience. No one, on any cruise, saw whales the day we went. In spite of that, our whale watching experience with Legacy was the highlight of our trip. Even our two teens remember as their favorite experience in San Diego, and we got free coupons to return for another trip!

A Whale of a Tour - Everything you could ask for on a whale watching cruise. We saw whales, dolphins, seals and a variety of birds. The ship was comfortable and the guide knowledgeable.

Excellent family cruise - Although we came at the wrong time of the year. My family enjoyed the time we had out there. It was the first time my wife and kids have seen dolphins in the wild, like they should be. If you are interested, we were told the best time to go on the whale watching cruise is January and February. That is the migration time. We will definitely be back at one of those times. Being a Navy Veteran it was good to be back out in the open ocean.
