Great trip, staff were excellent! I went with my 15 year old son and we spotted a humpback whale, along with dolphins and seals! Don’t hesitate - book!

Our guide, Sue, was fun and knowledgeable, shared all kinds of facts and history of Carlsbad. Great food at all 6 stops, easy walking, great photo op in the giant beach chair at the meet-up location.
Reviews: Catamaran Sunset Sail Premium 2.5hr Small group w/ drinks

Had so much fun on our sunset cruise with Captain Ryan! It truly felt like peak San Diego. On a perfect heatwave week we jumped in the water and watched the sun go down and enjoyed the perfectly warm weather on the water together. I will be booking again for a bachelorette party next year and every other special occasion we can think of :) can’t wait to sail again with fun cat sailing!
Reviews: Gaslamp Quarter Food and Drink Tour: Brothels, Bites & Booze
Guest User2025-11-25
We did this tour on our 2nd night. So glad we did. Learned lots of fun facts, saw cool places, met fun new friends and enjoyed 3 bites with drinks plus dessert. Loved the places picked - Meze Greek fusion (delicious brandy sangria & quesadilla with gyro meat) Smokin Js BBQ (yummy pork belly taco with their hot sauce & lager. Also bought a tasty IPA Phantom Bride) & The Field (yummy shepherds pie & drink that I can’t remember name of but it was good) We also bought Irish coffees, best we’ve ever had. Ended at Calis for icecream (lavender was our choice & it was good) & bought delicious gingerbread man and sugar cookie. Would definitely do this tour again. Only wish is for bigger food servings to go with all the drinks!
Reviews: Stand up Paddle Board Lesson on The San Diego Bay

Michael did an awesome job! I learned to stand and paddle immediately without even realising I’m doing it in the middle of the bay confidently! Thanks Michael for your accommodation and patience.
