San Diego SEAL Amphibious Tour at Seaport Village

San Diego SEAL Amphibious Tour

This unique San Diego tour combines city sightseeing with a bay cruise aboard a U.S. Coast Guard-certified amphibious vehicle that drives on land then splashes into the water. Your 90-minute adventure begins with a 30-minute narrated drive along the Embarcadero waterfront, passing the USS Midway Museum and San Diego International Airport, before transitioning seamlessly into San Diego Bay for 60 minutes on the water.

The amphibious vehicle travels through downtown districts whilst your audio guide shares stories about San Diego's aviation and maritime history. Once you splash into the bay, you'll cruise past Shelter Island, North Island Naval Air Station, Point Loma Submarine Base, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Keep your camera ready for California sea lions, pelicans, and panoramic harbour views.
