Best Boat Adventure Ever! - Oh my gosh, this was a wonderful chance to see wildlife and to get a tour of the city and under the Coronado bridge. Our guide was great! He took us under the USS Midway Carrier Ship and told us all about the military and shipping history. After he gave us the tour we had time to speed around in the boat on our own.

Perfect gift - I bought this as a gift for my sons birthday and he went with his girlfriend. They had a blast and took photos even though the weather could have been better for San Diego (I am out of state) Tour operator was great and communication was as well as my son had to make it later in the day. Totally worth it and highly recommend for anyone!!!!

Spectacular - The Tour was Amazing. The views were spectacular. We saw California Sea Lions and the North Island Naval Station. The Super Carriers are Massive. The USS MIDWAY was incredible. The Maritime Museum is the second largest in the World. Liam was our Tour Guide and he was filled with great knowledge of the Harbor. I highly recommend Speedboat Adventures.com to anyone visiting San Diego. It is a must do Tour.
