Last weekend we had the opportunity to sail away for a 45 minute boat ride with our new friends at Harbor Breeze Cruises. It was so much fun! My son and his friend loved it! The Narration was wonderful, friendly staff and just a really fun time! We loved seeing the Sea Lions and learning about them! We had a few minutes of rain and it still didn’t put a damper on this fun time. We highly recommend sailing away with Harbor Breeze Cruises. They also offer Whale Watching trips. To find out more, check out their website. You can also find them on Facebook.

Self Disclosure: We received Media comp to facilitate this feature but SoCal City Kids highly recommends as something fun to do this summer! (Visit the Aquarium of the Pacific too! It’s right next door!)
