San Francisco Whale Tours

I really enjoy this place every time I visit. My brother and his family eat there as well ( because I buy food and share with them). Every soup that we have tried, we have eaten more than once. I have had other things there and I haven't eaten anything that I didn't like. PERIOD.

We had a fantastic time on the water for my husband’s birthday. The day started out a little rough because we had a hard time finding the Gate B at Pier 39 (there’s a new fence near the aquarium that blocks the path to the docks, so you have to walk through the shops/restaurants to find stairs down to the water then hang a right to go back down behind the aquarium. Some signage would be helpful.) However, once we got on the boat we had a great time. The new COVID capacity restrictions kept the trip to only about a dozen people, giving us all plenty of room to spread out. In fact, most of the trip, we were alone on our side of the boat. The scenery leaving the bay is wonderful. Most of the trip we cruised at a high speed to make it out to open water and whale territory quickly. Even though we didn’t see any whales for most of the cruise, the captain stayed out as long as possible until we finally spotted two humpbacks feeding, along with a couple of porpoises and a few sea lions out in open water. Turned into a wonderful trip. The captain and crew are friendly and welcoming. Will definitely cruise with them again.

What a great crew! Joe, Sarah & Pat were all knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. My husband, seven year old son and myself enjoyed our trip, yesterday 8/23/20, immensely. The ridership is limited at the moment due to COVID restrictions so it really feels like a private tour and very personal. Plenty of room to social distance. Joe did a great job as captain, alerting us on movements of the boat, turning the boat for all passengers to be able to view the whales and keeping us safe, above all else. Sarah was the braniac of the tour, helping us all understand the secrets and cool features of the Humpback Whale. Pat took some amazing photos and was the first on our trip to spot a whale! We only had to go right outside the Golden Gate and had approximately 30 whale sightings with a bonus porpoise sighting and of course a few seals. Really amazing! We look forward to bringing friends & family on future trips, it could not have been easier or more enjoyable. Thank you Team Kitty Kat. :)

Had a great few hours on the water. I didn’t see any whales but my fiancé did; I had an amazing time regardless. There’s lots of other interesting wildlife you see and the views are stunning. The crew was spectacular and you can tell they’re passionate about what they do. 10/10 will do again.

While the whales certainly made the trip worthwhile, the crew was SO very friendly and engaging! We had the pleasure of being on board with Captain Joe, Kat, and Sarah. They went out of there way to make sure we had plenty of time to “visit” with the whales. We were proud to support a woman-run business - would recommend to anyone!
