Birch Aquarium Whale Watching Kicks off Adventure On The High Seas

Between December and April, approximately 20,000 gray whales migrate along the coast of San Diego. Get an up-close view of this incredible journey on board an educational whale watching excursion with Flagship Cruises & Events in partnership with Birch Aquarium at Scripps.

The tours depart twice daily aboard the Marietta, a comfortable, two-story whale watching yacht, featuring 360-degree views from the main level and upper sundeck, multiple restrooms and free guest WiFi.

Led by friendly marine experts from Birch Aquarium at Scripps, you’ll get a deeper understanding of the ocean ecosystem and real-time commentary on the sights and sea creatures unique to your cruise. You’ll also receive coupons to Birch Aquarium, how about that?
