Make a Splash on the SEAL!
Experience San Diego as it was meant to be
experienced...by land and by sea! The new "Hydra Terras"
provide you with the unique ability to see America's Finest
City on San Diego's only amphibious sightseeing tour.
This 90-minute fully-narrated journey departs from Seaport
Village located on Harbor Drive at the Embarcadero. As you
travel along the beautiful Big Bay by land, you will learn
about the early fishing industry, the people as well as the
history of this 14-mile long working bay. The tour on land
takes you past the San Diego International Airport dedicated
to aviator Charles Lindbergh, just one of the many people
you will hear about on your tour.
Then, you will splash down into San Diego Bay off Shelter
Island, where you begin your water-tour segment of the
journey. As the SEAL travels through the north end of the
Big Bay, keep your eyes peeled for a chance encounter with a
California Brown Pelican, the majestic Blue Heron, or
perhaps a Sea Lion or two.
Learn about the important role the military plays in San
Diego. The Big Bay provides views of Point Loma, home to the
Cabrillo National Monument, Naval Air Station North Island,
the Point Loma Submarine Base, and the Scripps Institution
of Oceanography.
The return trip takes you, once again, back up on land where
you will return to your starting point via Harbor Drive
while you pass the Maritime Museum and the Cruise Ship
Terminal.
The San Diego Seals fleet consists of 5 amphibious vehicles
produced specifically for the tourism industry and for
search/rescue operations. They are capable of operating in
high winds, rains, and floods. They can drive into an area
of heavy flooding and simply boat through it. These vehicles
feature high performance all wheel drive, turbo diesel
engine, automatic transmission, heavy-duty suspension
system, 49 passengers or 8,000 lbs. of cargo capacity, 75
mph on road speed and 7 knots in the water.
These vessels are completely U.S. Coast Guard approved and
meet all regulations for passenger vessels, meet Department
of Transportation requirements and in fact even come
equipped with driver and passenger side air bags. Every
effort has been made to make these vehicles the strongest
and safest possible.
