Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

- Tracy S5 contributionsAn amazing trip, no whales today but had a very large pod of dolphins. I aslo get to do the trip again (there's no expiry date on the guarantee). I loved every minute, sailing on the America in the sunshine was just perfect ❤️Review of: San Diego Whale Watching CruiseWritten 23 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- flapennyWest Palm Beach, FL1,030 contributionsI was not sure I would be able to keep up with the group as it had been over a year since I last kayaked and I am nearing 70. Brody and Chance were very diligent in watching out for the entire group of us and ensuring the pace was comfortable. It was interesting to learn some of the history of the area from them and to explore the shore. Shooting the caves was also fun (I would have loved to do it a few times!) We saw leopard sharks, seals, and sea lions. For the price and length of time it was a great way to appreciate La Jolla. BTW, I had no problems keeping up!Review of: La Jolla Sea Caves Kayak TourWritten 21 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jacqueline BWolcott, CT409 contributionsAwesome trip out into the harbor to see sea lions! The captain and first mate (Kyle and Amy) were lovely! Amy gave some great info on the tour regarding the local area, flora and fauna. I would definitely recommend for all interested!Review of: San Diego Seal TourWritten 24 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anne-Laure MLe Grand-Bornand, France87 contributionsThis tour is totally worth it! I like hop on hop off tours to discover a new big city and this one was great. The drivers are all fun and entertaining they play music so we can sing along while telling the story of SD. Mike with who we did the longest part of the tour was really nice. Because of traffic he extended the tour to take another route which allowed us to see even more of the city and island. Thanks to this tour we could decide what we wanted to visit on our own the following day. Excellent tour! Totally recommend!👍Review of: San Diego Hop On Hop Off Trolley TourWritten 22 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MarylandMan2013Gaithersburg, MD9 contributionsThe boat was comfortable, clean and well suited to the experience. The crew were helpful and friendly. We did not see any whales, but did sown 20 minutes surrounded by a pod of dolphins, while was very fun.
The boat departed and returned on time. We had a good time.Review of: Shared Two-Hour Whale Watching Tour from OceansideWritten 17 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Soren15 contributionsMet the guide after crossing the boarder by foot and walked to downtown. It was a nice tour since I was alone and a bit apprehensive going. We were a total of 6 guest so nice small group. Used Global entry card to bypass the long “general line” on the return. Took the trolley line (blue) from downtown San Diego at 2.50 usd each wayReview of: Intro to Mexico Walking Tour: Tijuana Day Trip from San DiegoWritten 9 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Norm C1 contributionWe were taken on a fantastic tour of La Jolla for several hours. All sorts of great spots throughout the city, the beaches, and the hills. Joey has a wealth of information about all the waypoints and stops. It was one of the best highlights of our week in San Diego. Highly recommend! Thanks to Joey and Ryan - you guys ROCK!Review of: Cali Dreaming Electric Bike Tour of La Jolla and Pacific BeachWritten 18 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Justin B1 contributionVictor was absolutely amazing!! The hike was very memorable and exciting. Victor had a lot of knowledge about the area he shared with us while he guided us through the spectacular scenery. He did an amazing job of helping my wife feel safe in any spot she had some anxiety about. Highly highly recommend this experience even if you live here in San Diego.Review of: Incredible Slot Canyons to the PacificWritten 23 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LoveWallsDurham, NC23 contributionsDecided at the last minute to do this and I’m so glad I did! It ended up being 5 in our group, which was perfect. Our guide was Maddie, and she was smart AND funny! She did an amazing job. The caves were beautiful.. we got to go in one of them. The only downside was a visibility issue due to a heavy haze that was present.. but that was kind of cool in a way. This was the 9 am slot.
I would definitely do this again!Review of: Kayak Tour of the 7 CavesWritten 29 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Kyndra P1 contributionThis is probably one of the coolest activities you can do in San Diego. Such a fun thrill ride. We apparently only went 35mph but it feels like 100mph on the open water. My boyfriend and I took turns driving. The tour part was great, we got to see the city and cool sites where we got to stop and take some photos. We were making good time so at the end we had a little time to go off on our own. We went on a Monday morning and the water was still not a lot of movement or boats around. I highly recommend this experience to literally everyone.Review of: San Diego Harbor Speed Boat AdventureWritten 25 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
