Cruise San Pedro’s busy harbor for sea lions, landmark ships, and live stories about the Port of Los Angeles.

About this tour

See the Port of Los Angeles from the water on a 45-minute San Pedro narrated harbor cruise. As your vessel glides through the Western Hemisphere’s busiest harbor, listen to live English narration about its history, working waterfront, and sustainability efforts.

Look for California sea lions and watch cargo and container ships arrive from around the world. The route offers views of the Battleship USS Iowa, the Los Angeles Harbor Lighthouse, West Harbor, and Pier 400, described as the world’s largest container terminal. A quiet, low-emission vessel, climate-controlled interior, panoramic windows, and indoor and outdoor seating make it easy to take in the harbor in comfort. Experienced captains and crew bring more than 30 years of experience, and restrooms are available onboard.

San Pedro harbor cruise guests can also purchase a bundle with access to the Battleship USS Iowa, the only battleship museum open to the public on the West Coast. Choose your cruise and discover the landmarks, wildlife, and maritime activity that define the Port of Los Angeles.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 4.58 on Viator and 3.93 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

How the score works and rating distribution in Los Angeles
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.9.
