This one is almost gone, so treat it as a this-week plan. San Diego Whale Watch, departing from Mission Bay, is running a Kids Cruise Free offer through November 15, 2026. Book a full-fare adult ticket and one child age 12 or under cruises free. It is valid seven days a week during the offer window.

The important restriction is baked into the adult ticket: it cannot be a discounted ticket. One free child per full-fare adult. Other restrictions may apply, and the San Diego Tourism Authority notes that Kids Free offers vary by partner, so confirm the details when you book. The listing gives the operator’s phone as (619) 542-9931.

Local tip: November is late in the local whale-watching calendar, and this offer ends Sunday. If you are taking kids out on the water, pack layers and a changing layer for the dock afterward — a hooded surf poncho earns its keep when the wind comes up on the bay. Check the official deal listing and the operator before you pay.
