Whales or Not, We Found Magic: Dolphins and Smiles on the San Diego Coast

by Bryan Lor

Adventure Dates: 07/10/2025 – 07/13/2025

Even though the whales were shy that day, the dolphins more than made up for it. Watching them leap alongside the boat, racing through the waves, was pure joy for my wife and daughter. It reminded us that sometimes the best memories aren’t the ones you expect, but the surprises nature offers along the way. From the salty breeze to the sound of the ocean, the whole experience was unforgettable. My daughter’s face lit up with smiles every time we saw dolphins out in the water, so it was worth even the slightest sea sickness!

To capture the spirit of the trip, I brought our camera along and snapped some moments. Below you’ll find a gallery of photos of the views from the boat, and little details that made the day special.
