5 Unique Things to Do in San Diego (That Aren’t Just the Beach)
We get it — the beach is great. But if you’re looking for something to do in San Diego besides just getting sunburnt and sandy, this one’s for you. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, here are five fun ideas that give you a fresh angle on the city.
1. Take a SEAL Tour (Land AND Water Adventure)
You’ve probably seen those weird bus-boat hybrids cruising downtown — now it’s your turn to get on one. The San Diego SEAL Tour is part history, part harbor cruise, and honestly, way more fun than it sounds. You’ll start on land, then splash right into the water.
2. Kayak Through La Jolla’s Sea Caves
La Jolla’s waters are clear, calm, and filled with wildlife. This 2-hour kayak tour takes you right into the sea caves — and if you’re lucky, you’ll paddle past sea lions and maybe even leopard sharks (don’t worry, they’re harmless).
3. Visit the Whaley House at Night
This one’s for the spooky girls and ghost bros. The Whaley House is allegedly one of the most haunted places in the U.S. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, the nighttime tour adds some real drama to your evening.

4. Step Aboard the USS Midway Museum
One of the coolest experiences in San Diego is walking through a real aircraft carrier. The USS Midway lets you explore over 60 exhibits, climb into fighter jets, and get a feel for what life was like at sea. It’s massive, historic, and surprisingly fun — even if you’re not a history buff.

5. Go on a Taco + Tequila Crawl
When in San Diego, tacos are a lifestyle. This walking food tour hits some of the city’s top taco spots (with drinks included), and lets you eat like a local without the guesswork.
✨ Bonus Tip: Moushi App Launching Soon
If you’re looking for even more curated spots — from food to hotels to things locals actually recommend — Moushi is launching soon. It’s built for people who are tired of endless, sketchy reviews and just want to enjoy the city. San Diego only (for now).
