Long Beach Harbor 45-Minute Boat Tour

A 45-minute boat trip through the harbor of Long Beach, with commentary on the port's history and views of the city's skyline and working waterfront. It is offered from Long Beach and from San Pedro.

This outing is a short guided cruise on the water, lasting 45 minutes. Along the route, the commentary covers the history of the harbor, and passengers can watch the scenery change from the water. The sights along the way include the Long Beach skyline, California sea lions resting in the harbor, the Queen Mary, the artificial oil islands, and cargo and container ships arriving from many countries.

A departure from San Pedro is also available. This version takes in the coastline and the USS Iowa battleship, and it passes close to tall container ships that carry goods around the world, which give the harbor its industrial character.

The cruise suits visitors who want to see the port from the water in a brief outing, especially those curious about how a major shipping harbor works. It is a practical choice for anyone passing through Los Angeles who has limited time but wants a clear overview of the area.
