Offshore Blue Adventures

We had a GREAT time w/​Cici today on the San Diego Bay 2 hr tour. Fantastic!!! I’ve lived here over 35 yrs and I learned so much about the bay today. Cici is most accommodating, very professional, informative and has a great personality to boot. Dont miss out. I plan to venture on a whsle watching excursion w/​her in the future.

Whale Watching with CiCi was so great! Had a big trip to California with lots of other stuff but this was at the top. Saw grey whales, dolphins and more. So cool. Speaking of cool, we were there on a warm day and it was still cool out there. Dress warm and have fun!

Amazing!!! At first we were afraid we would not see anything, but then… We came upon a pair of Fin Whales. We watched them for awhile, then headed back. On the way back we encountered a pod of about 50 Bottlenose Dolphins. They were absolutely amazing to watch, especially as they swam all around us! As we continued our way back, we found a huge pod of common Dolphins… Hundreds of them!!! They were playing and swimming along with us. It was an incredible afternoon! Thank you, CiCi! You were a fantastic guide, so knowledgeable and friendly! We will visit with you again!

my new wife and i took CiCi’s Offshore Blue Adventures whale watching tour while on our honeymoon. at first we were a little unsure since it’s a small boat (seats 6) instead of a big tour boat with a bar and restrooms. but it turned out so much better. CiCi is so friendly and personal. my wife and i were the only ones on the boat with cici. she had posted on her website the day before that she had seen a blue whale in the area and that’s what we wanted to see. she gave us windbreakers to wear (dress warm fyi, it gets cool over the water especially with wind when you’re going fast). she showed us sea lions. we looked for some dolphins (saw one huge bottlenose) and kept on the lookout for whales. about 2 hours in we hadn’t seen anything. CiCi worked her radio and talked to other whale watching boats including the big ones to see if anyone had seen anything. when one reported back that they had we sped over. the big tour boat couldn’t get there fast enough and missed it. we ended up floating beside a big mama blue whale and her baby from about 30 yards away for about 15 minutes. it was spectacular. on the way back CiCi did her best to find other whales and dolphins. she even offered to go longer since she didn’t have an afternoon tour that day.
i highly recommend CiCi and Offshore Blue Adventures if you want to see whales and have a personalized and friendly experience. we’ll certainly go back out with her if we’re back in San Diego.

Our whale watching trip FAR exceed anything we hoped for. Thanks to CiCi we got to witness a pod of 1,000 dolphins. It’s one of the most breathtaking things I have ever seen.
4 of us went for a whale watching tour with Offshore Blue Adventures, right from the get-​go I could tell our tour guide knew what she was doing, she even had gloves available for everyone on the boat. How’s that for looking after your customers?
CiCi was very knowledgeable about the ocean life, landscape and even the jets flying overhead. In the first 20 minutes we had already seen 2 gray whales. We spent a while watching them, then our guide stared discussing their behavior, she said they seemed to be shy and likely wanted to be left alone. I really like that she’s concerned with the animals as much as with our group. It makes me feel good knowing Offshore Blue has a sincere concern for the ocean. From there we headed to look at another group of whales.
We spent a while looking at some more whales then she got a message on the radio of huge pod of dolphins, that fast the group decided we wanted to see that, so we took off in that direction. That’s the great part of being on a small boat, you can go wherever the heck you want! As we got near the pod of dolphins the came right in up to the boat. It was amazing! For the next thirty minutes we motored around with an estimated THOUSAND DOLPHINS. They leaped in the air, jumped and did flips, just thousands of them dancing around out boat. I will never ever forget the amazing experience. If you want to do an ocean tour Offshore Blue Adventures is hands down the best choice.

What an amazing day on the water! I’ve been on a lot of the bigger whale watching tour boats, and nothing compares to the views and experience we had on CiCi’s boat.
With limited seating (only 6 people) every seat has a great view. We were also really close to the water. When we came across a pod of 1,000 dolphins we could almost reach out and touch them. A few on the boat actually got wet from some of the dolphins who were leaping out of the water next to us. You really feel like you’re a part of nature rather than merely a distant observer.
CiCi is remarkably informed about the wild life and was a great educator. She was able to answer all of our questions about whale, dolphin, and even sea lion behavior. We really enjoyed being able to have discussions about the animals we were seeing and you can tell that she loves what she does.
As a captain, CiCi is capable and safe. She had life jackets for all of us and handled the boat with great skill and precision.
I can’t say enough great things about Offshore Blue Adventures. If you’re looking to have an amazing whale and dolphin watching experience, this is the tour for you. I’ll never go back to the big boat tours again!

Whales, Dolphins, sparkling blue ocean with Captain Cici Sayer and Off Shore Blue Adventures was the experience of a lifetime! I have been out on the ocean with CiCi several times, and each time I go I see more and learn more about all that the ocean has to offer. It’s hard to describe being close enough to gaze into the eyes of a blue whale, or watch hundreds of dolphins jumping out of the water and swimming within an arm’s reach! CiCi is very knowledgeable about the ocean and boating and I highly recommend going for the ride you will remember.
