Get the chance to experience one of America's most extraordinary tours while enjoying beautiful scenery

Want to discover San Diego, known as "America's Finest City," in a unique way? The San Diego Seal Tour, the city's only amphibious sightseeing experience, takes you across the boundary between land and sea. In a 90‑minute immersive adventure, enjoy the best of both worlds, encounter adorable wildlife, and capture every breathtaking moment.

Say goodbye to the limitations of traditional sightseeing and hop aboard a dedicated amphibious vehicle for a fantastic journey from the streets to the sea. On land, we cruise through San Diego's distinctive neighbourhoods, passing iconic landmarks such as San Diego International Airport and the Maritime Museum, while our professional guides share stories of the city's history and culture, letting you feel the vibrancy and warmth of this coastal city. As the vehicle slowly enters the water, splashing up fine spray, a whole new perspective unfolds — with the sea breeze in your face, take in the grandeur and dynamism of San Diego Bay.

This is not just a scenic tour — it's also an intimate encounter with wildlife. As a natural habitat for seals and sea lions, San Diego Bay is home to these charming creatures all year round. Whether they're lazily basking on the rocks, frolicking and tumbling in the water, or letting out the occasional crisp bark, they create the most heart‑warming natural scenes. We will keep a safe distance and quietly observe the distinct postures of Pacific harbour seals and California sea lions — watching them waddle clumsily and leap joyfully into the water — and immerse ourselves in the healing power of wildlife.

This is also a paradise for photography enthusiasts, with excellent photo spots throughout the journey. On land, urban streetscapes complement the coastal scenery; on the water, the azure sea, rugged rocks, and adorable seals share the same frame — every snapshot is a stunning shot with no filter needed. Choose the right seat and you can even capture the spectacular moment of the vehicle splashing into the water — perfect for lighting up your social feed.

Whether you're travelling with family, as a couple, or exploring solo, this amphibious tour will fulfil all your expectations of San Diego. No need to rush around — one trip unlocks the dual beauty of land and sea, lets you encounter adorable wildlife, and creates memories all your own. Come and join the San Diego Seal Tour to see the gentleness and wildness of this city from the most unique perspective, and embark on an unforgettable coastal adventure!
