San Diego Whale Watching Tours
San Diego whale watching tours are a great way to spend an afternoon whenever you are visiting Southern California. Where else could you get a chance to ride something that mimics San Francisco trolley cars, visit top attractions and also get to see these magnificent animals frolic in the ocean?
These whales can be as long as 110 feet and just having the chance to get a close-up encounter with them will prove to be an exciting moment that you will never forget. For family vacation fun this is certainly an adventure that I can highly recommend.
San Diego Whale Watching Tours with Hornblower Cruises
We scored $5 off the regular ticket prices for San Diego Whale Watching Tours by using the special code WWS10. This is featured on the Hornblower Cruises & Events website.
Normally we have our tickets planned out ahead of time but the kids saw some of the flyers that listed whale watching in the Bay and this was a spur of the moment decision that we made.
We got to enjoy an ocean trip that lasted almost 4 hours from start to finish and with 5 people to buy tickets for I always welcome an opportunity to save extra money.
I have learned that there are some good resources for discount tickets to almost any of the top attractions in the San Diego area. Knowing where to look for cheaper tickets will help you get great deals and stretch your entertainment dollars.
Discount tickets for San Diego whale watching tours, harbor cruises, museums and live shows are available and there is no difference in the overall experience except the fact that you are saving as much as 30-70% of the regular ticket price.
The boat we went out on for this particular harbor trip was comfortably equipped and the guides had received their training at the city's Natural History Museum.
This meant that they were giving us some really educational information about the whales and other local marine life while making sure that the tour was always lively and exciting.
Speaking for myself and my family I can assure you that this is an opportunity that really does deliver fun as well as some unforgettable moments.

Another place where these discounted tickets can be found is in the pages of local tourist magazines. These flyers and magazines are available at hotels, restaurants and state welcome centers.
Even airports and convenience stores usually have some of these free booklets available, so be sure and ask. You might also want to check and see if there are any additional discounts offered for active military personnel.
