I did some searching for actives or a tour an happened to come across these guys.

Preston ended up giving us a great deal I couldn't say no, from start to finish we did a 6 hour tour. After completing it my parents were smiling and so happy. I highly recommend if your visiting or in town and want to go on a fun adventure these guys know how to impress and meet the needs of their guests. Thanks again keep up the good work

My daughter and I recently had a wonderful adventure with Triton Charters, in San Diego,…read moreCalifornia. It was a short journey, but a wonderful way to experience the beauty of San Diego. My daughter and I were visiting San Diego for a one-week trip because I was required to come here for work. My workdays were pretty packed, but my daughter and I also took advantage of this trip by filling our evenings with lots of fun activities. On one of our evenings while we were here we were invited to experience a journey with Triton Charters. I have no idea how much it costs because our dear friends demanded to pay our way, but I can say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. My friend, John, told me that he has experienced this journey several times and sometimes they offer reduced pricing, where customers can purchase their tickets in advance. Obviously, if you have reserved a time for a scheduled departure, you should make sure you get here with plenty of time to spare. This is one of those experiences that you just can't be late for. I would imagine that San Diego traffic can be busy at times, and finding someplace to legally park may be tricky as well, so plan accordingly. The entire journey took about two and a half hours. We boarded a large catamaran owned by Triton Charters at about 5:45pm for a 6:00pm departure. We slowly cruised down north San Diego bay, and then down to San Diego bay. We returned by the same route. We passed several beautiful and historic sites along the way, including the Maritime Museum of San Diego, the Star of India, Portside Pier (with all the beauty of San Diego skyscrapers in the background), a visiting Japanese battleship, the USS Midway Museum (in all her glory), the kissing sailor statue, and we sailed under the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, just to name a few. We returned back to port at around 8:15pm. So, full disclosure, I have a demanding job, and I often find myself stressed out with all the demands on my performance. I only note this because this was the perfect experience I needed; this journey around the bay was therapeutic and it helped me to de-stress. I would imagine that this would be very beneficial for several other individuals as well. Having a wonderful evening summer breeze, pleasant music, watching small boats and yachts sail by in the calmness of the ocean bay, and being surrounded by wonderful friends...nothing could be better. If you are in the area, I highly encourage you to add this to one of your joyful experiences while you are here. It will be a memory of a lifetime.

There were around 80 people…read moreon board, but it still felt spacious enough to move around comfortably and enjoy the different areas of the boat. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the trip. Drinks were available for purchase at pretty reasonable prices, and the boat itself was clean and well maintained. The ride lasted about 2.5 hours and had some really nice views of San Diego Bay and the downtown skyline. Definitely recommend keeping an eye out for their Black Friday ticket deals too since you can usually get a much better rate. Overall, a fun way to spend an afternoon on the water!

We spent 3 days out on the water and we're able to swim with whale sharks on 2 different occasions. Additionally, we swam with sea lions and were able to see so many other things- including humpback whales breaching just 20 yards from our boat! It truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity to swim with these massive and magnificent creatures and Baja Ballenas makes it such a smooth and easy process!!

Being able to see these awesome animals was a big part because of the owners, that through their passion for these animals, they have become condisurers and experienced in planning and hosting these trips! They made it so that all I needed to do was pack my bags, relax, and enjoy! Awesome trip! Ps: the owners speak fluent Spanish and are well versed in local culture which made getting to know the locals and communicating with them easier!

I love Next Level Sailing…read more Long before I ever relocated to San Diego, I visited San Diego for the first time for the America's Cup. I had a business trip in LA and decided to drive down to explore the event and local sights. What fun! My love of sailing started when I grew up on an island. The Newport RI and Bermuda race was a popular event. Although, my first boat was a small SunFish my father got. So cute! Later, I attended sailing school in Annapolis MD and had a boyfriend from Newport, RI. The bug to be on the water never left. and these areas were always some of the best for the experience. So good! Fast forward, I have resided in San Diego for some time now and we have this replica of the original America's Cup boat is right here. Here at Next Level Sailing. It is the perfect way not to own a boat. No maintenance! Take friends and family (even your furry friend with a ticket) and see San Diego the best way possible (from the water). They have different options on what you will see, snacks and beverages on board. A fabulous crew that are helpful and friendly. Love it! One of my favorite gems of San Diego. Note: I want them to have a retail store for merch. Although, you can purchase some items on board during your excursion on the bay. #AmericasCup #NextLevelSailing #SanDiego #BayLife

Troy was super duper kind to let us and our dog in last min…read more Basically we booked thru Chase Travel -- I called a number after to confirm we had a dog with us but that request didn't go through though I thought it did. Day of, we got the email from Chase around 10am (our boat departed at 11am) stating that we had to text a concierge to confirm headcount, I did and mentioned we had a dog but unfortunately the dog was not registered yet. I was freaking out as it said we needed to check in at 10:20 for dogs and our reservation didn't include one. Captain Troy was very kind to let us on regardless and said that the dog check in policy was for pups to relieve themselves before getting on the boat so there are no accidents. We saw a dolphin stampede that day and it was so nice hearing local commentary. Bathrooms are slightly freaky as the lights flicker on and off but the drinks were great!

Went on this tour out of a special request and gift for the boyfriend. First of all, we were late!…read moreWe got to the Coyote Cafe about 10-15 minutes and we thought they had left since we didn't see anyone, so we decided to get something to eat in the area. We get call from the company, nicely asking if we were still going to participate, we said yes and they politely waited for us!!! How awesome is that!?!!?! We started off the tour at the Whaley House - f'ing creepy - and upon leaving the doorsteps, we were greeted by our tour guide and a limo! The limo ride was smooth and the drinks in the limo were complementary. We drove to Downtown, learned haunted history about the Stingaree DISTRICT - not the club, the Grand Horton Hotel, and the Horton Theater. Jumped back in our ride and rode down to the Hotel Del, then back up to Old Town to see the oldest graveyard in SD. Overall the tour, the experience, the customer service, the history was all amazing and I learned a lot. The boyfriend was heavily satisfied and I'm glad he liked it. The price of the tour is a tad much, but it's not dreadful. I highly recommend this to anyone who interested in history, creepy stuff or if you're bored. Oh! Our tour guide Magnus was amazing! He was very informative, friendly, entertaining, and he never broke out of character. Even with all the drunks passing by us in downtown, he never broke - SUPER!

This tour was fantastic! The best one I've ever taken and I've been on ones in new Orleans,…read moreSavannah, and charleston. The value is great what with the admission to the two sites that cost money (the whaley house and star of India), the length of the tour, the limo ride, and beer all being included in the tour price. It is important to note that The Whaley house is normally $6 for a SELF guided tour. One of the docents gave us the tour, we got a couple of really interesting pictures! My mom is a skeptic and a hobby photographer with a pretty nice camera. She was very suprised at the way some of the pictures turned out. I'll try to upload the best one. My dad also had an interesting experience; on the stairs he thought he touched someones hand and when he turned around to say excuse me no one was there! Be sure to take lots of pictures at this location. The limo ride was fun; if you find it awkward have a few beers! Alcohol is, afterall, the great social lubricant. Ours was a hummer stretch although I think they use different ones everytime. The beer is bud light and they also have a decanter of rum and vodka. Magnus was our guide and he was excellent. He told the stories without being TOO theatrical (which I think ruins the reality of the tour) and even helped spark up some discussions in the limo about ghosts and our beliefs. Be sure to bring money for a good tip! The other sites we visited were the star of India, del Coronado, the outside of the horton hotel, and the cemetery in old town. We also got some interesting pictures with orbs at the cemetery. My mom was very surprised since they didn't show up in all the night pictures and her lens usually filters out dust or other particles. The orbs also only appeared behind the wall where magnus said about 13 people were buried purposely outside the cemetery. Spooky. Do this tour if you're a history buff, are interested in the paranormal, or if you're just looking for a good story! Two thumbs way up.
