| MY DAUGHTER WANTED TO GO WHALE WATCHING FOR HER 25TH BIRTHDAY IN MONTEREY, CA. THAT MORNING MONTEREY WAS VERY FOGGY & COLD. THE MAN, WHO WE CHECKED IN WITH WAS NOT SURE (AS THEY DON'T GUARENTEE) WE WOULD SEE A WHALE. HE WAS SURE FOR DOLPHINS BUT NOT FOR THE WHALE. WE ALL COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE ELATED BECAUSE WE SAW FROM A DISTANCE BLUE WHALE, & IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! ON THE WAY BACK, WE ALSO SAW BLUE DOLPHIN. WHAT A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY IT WAS FOR MY DAUGHTER. CAN'T WAIT TO GO OUT IN THE SUMMER WITH MY MOTHER IN LAW FROM GEORGIA WHEN SHE COMES OUT FOR THE SUMMER. THANK YOU TO THE STAFF AS WELL. WELL WORTH THE PRICE.
BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL,

| Nice boat , spacious and comfortable.
The boat trip in Monterey Bay would be worth doing by itself and of course there are opportunities for impressive sightings of whales.
We hope to have the opportunity to do this again. |

| Great opportunity to see whales and dolphins. Would recommend sea sickness tablets/ginger beforehand as it can get a bit choppy! |

| There are several companies offering whale watching cruises at Monterey and I tried this one simply because the price was right and there was a cruise available at the right time. However the experience was great; the staff were all friendly and knowledgeable and we had plenty of opportunities to view humpback whales at distances of several hundred yards -- close enough to get excellent photos, which was my objective. All in all, an excellent experience -- highly recommended. |

| We have been coming to the Monterey area for over 50 years and this is the first time we have taken the Whale Watching Cruise. We don't know why we waited so long!
It was wonderful to see the dolphins and humpback whales. Our Marine Biologist was very knowledgeable.
We would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone! |

| We saw two humpback whales feeding for about in hour. The boat was fine, although it was delayed starting out. This meant we had to wait for longer than we'd have wanted. The marine biologist on board was enthusiastic and reasonably knowledgeable. |

| Though the boat was smaller than I had expected, but was not overly crouded, about 25 guest. The boat left 30 minutes late, which was fine because the earlier group that left at 9am didn'd get to see much due to fog. I would suggest the early afternoon trips, such as the one we were on @ 12:30 its warmer going out and not as cold coming back as the later trips must be. Now the best for last, and the point of the trip to view the whales. We saw several Humpback whales, a pod of Dolphins and the best of all was the awsome Blue Whale we saw, though I wish we could have gotten closer to the whales for a better look, I understand that this could stress those magnificant creatures. We finished the day with a little shopping and a great steak, prawns and of course clam chowder dinner, which was a very reasonable price. |
