Make your own splash into San Diego Bay on a SEAL Tour, San Diego's only amphibious sightseeing tour. During this 90-minute sea and land adventure, you'll hear stories of early sailors, learn about San Diego's rich military history then splash down off Shelter Island for great views of Point Loma, the Naval Air Station North Island, the Point Loma Submarine Base, and the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Keep your eyes peeled for a chance encounter with a California Brown Pelican, the petite Least Tern, the majestic Blue Heron, or perhaps a sea lion or two! Tours operate seven days a week.

Festival of Sail
Explore the community's historic connection to the sea when more than
twenty tall ships and other fascinating vessels from around the world transform the North Embarcadero into a nautical theme park. The festival kicks off with a majestic parade of tall ships into San Diego Bay where some of the favorites are sure to include the Mexican Naval officer training ship Chauhtemoc, the Guayas from Ecuador and the R. Tucker Thompson from New Zealand. The maritime museum's own Californian will be fighting it out with several other tall ships as they engage in cannon battles on the bay. Entertainment, food from dozens of restaurant booths, a family activity area, and one-of-a-kind items from festival vendors will also add to the experience.
Location: Harbor Drive from the Cruise Ship Terminal north to the foot of Hawthorn Street
