Well worth it!

The cruise was well worth it. We seen 2 humpback whales and 2 blue whales. The Captain was very informative regarding the whales. Something my family and I will remember for ever!

Was a foggy ride out of the bay but it cleared up and we saw multiple dolphins and two humpbacks. Nice crew and great info given on the tour. It was my first time whale watching and I enjoyed it very much. So from a first time visitor, I would recommend this company to anyone undecided.

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!

i was very pleased with the trip. i loved the wildlife we saw and thought we moved around the perfect amount. I wish there was more of the "naturalistic" focus that was promised. Also, I would suggest that people take seasck medicine beforehand because though I was unaffected, about 1/5 of the boat was ill enough to ruin the trip. I would recommend this activity. It's once in a lifetime.

"Oh my gosh"

Two whales approached the boat and played with us for at least half an hour! I was recording the whole time. When we watched the videos after, you heard everyone saying "Oh my gosh!" over and over. It was an awesome experience.

Successful Whale Watch

The whale watch so much fun! It's a long boat ride out to find them but as soon as you see the first burst from the whales come up from the water it's breathtaking! It's amazing to see these beautiful creatures up close! Besides getting very sea sick, this activity was very enjoyable!

"Whale watching" easily converts to "boat ride"

Although the program boasts a 99% chance of seeing at least one whale, oftentimes they're sighted from so far away that they're nothing but dark silhouettes interrupting the endless blue sea. Our trip, estimated from 2.5 - 3 hours long, went for 3.5 hours because the whales/ dolphins were nowhere to be seen, and the captain decided to go out an extra distance to look for them. While that was considerate and we did end up seeing 2-3 humpbacks from a very far distance, the extra .5 - 1 hour cut into the rest of our touring plans. As a person who gets motion sickness, it was a difficult decision to step onto a boat in the first place - added with unfortunately scarce sightings and 15 miles out to sea - the trip didn't feel $80 worthwhile.

AWESOME TRIP

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, ANNETTE MYERS

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