| I really recommend this company to go whale watching. Everyone was so incredibly nice and answered all of my questions. I especially liked the marine biologists who narrated for us. She took such a great excitement explaining everything to us. We had a wonderful time and it was definitely an experience of a lifetime. Only kudos is they didn't have snacks on board very limited so make sure you bring your own beverages and snacks. |

| We did the whale watch excursion in the zodiac on May, 25th 2008 in the afternoon.
That day we had incredible beautiful weather and although we had sunscreen on we all got burned in our faces but this faded away in all the excitement we experienced by witnessing a big pack of whales aslo known as the K-group. They swam past us a couple of times and some also jumped from joy out of the water which doesn't occure regularly. We had a very experienced guide who knew a lot of the animals and their surrounding and managed to sail in front of the whales a couple of times.
After a few hours and a little bit later then anticipated because the site of the whales was so great we returned to the harbour with a lot of excited pictures. The captain took a few big waves so we had a spectaculair ride back. |

| My husband and I went whale watching to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary and had a great time. Our guide was informative and entertaining. We were able to see 4 humpback whales, maybe 50 dolphins, and a sun fish. Recommended! |

| This tour is a must do! We got to see whales really up close and personal and the crew is simply amazing. Plus you get a free appetizer! for $40 this deal is among the best in Monterey. |

| The trip was amazing, we got to see the whales so close we could almost touch them. We could hear them making noise and even got splash with the blow whole. At the end of out trip we got to see 4 dolphins. The experience was great. |

| Whale watching is not like going to the aquarium. You have to be prepared for disappointments. Sometimes the whales are not visible, like on my adventure. The boat and crew were terrific; the naturalist was informative; the off-shore weather was a typical foggy/cold summer Pacific day. It was a great 3+hours out on the water searching for whales. I am glad this was not my first time; I have seen whales many times in Monterey Bay, just not this time. We did find some sea lions and a few dolphins, as well as pelicans and other sea birds.

| Staff was helpful, boat was nice. There weren't whales out at first but our hosts stuck with it until we found some and it was well worth it. Highly recommended! |

Camera ready the whole trip!

| We saw 8 Humpbacks, sea lions, and two types of dolphins on our 3 hour tour! It was a smaller group, less than 20, and a blast. Extremely educational and so close to take great pictures! The staff was extremely knowledgable, answered all questions, and made sure we didn't miss a thing!
I have already recommended the Princess to EVERYONE! |

| The whale watching was great. Our guide was very well informed. We were a bit dissappointed that we had gotten our tickets a month in advance for the longer trip on the Pacific Explorer, only to learn that morning that we were going to be on the shorter trip because of scheduling conflicts. We traveled from Pennsylvania to watch the whales. We would recommend it to anyone, we had an enjoyable time. |
