Fun Activity
Wed, Jun 10  1:30 PM jlodola Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The Whale Watch was a fun activity and is appropriate for any age group. I had a senior citizen with me and she was enjoyed it as much as I did. Other groups on the boat were there with small children and they seemed to enjoy their afternoon as well. The departure location was easy to find on the pier. The staff was friendly. Bring a jacket or two as the wind made our trip (in June) chilly.

Find a smaller vessel

Went Whale watching a year earlier on a much smaller vessel. We were able to get up close and see the Whales just feet off the side of the boat. This vessel was far to big to get close to the animals without scaring them off.

I had a wonderful trip on the 4th June, was lucky enough to see Humpback and Killer Whales the crew were very knowledgeable and did their utmost to find the whales. This was a very highly recommended trip. Thanks Geoff Lipscombe

Great adventure for my kids
Tue, Jun 2  10:00 AM arendsf Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I went on a cruise with my two children. Despite the fact that it was very foggy, we saw some dolphins. Our captain coordinated with other boats out there so we managed to see a blue whale, which was the biggest adventure for my children.

I love whale watching
Sat, May 30  4:30 PM tricisol Unspecified Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
So far I have seen whales on all 3 whale watching excursions I have been on out of Monterey. I know it is not guaranteed, so I guess I am lucky to have experienced a whale sighting every time. It's such an interesting and fun experience, I highly recommend everyone try it at least once.

Awesome Experience!
Sat, May 30  1:30 PM nskaggs Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I booked the Whale Watching tour last minute, never thought about it but my husband and I were planning a trip to San Francisco and were looking for stuff to do so at the last minute, I booked the tickets. I absolutely loved it and honestly it fell in our "favorite thing" on our trip. The tour guide was awesome and funny. They knew exactly where to go and were very educated and everything was just awesome. Thanks so much!!!

Very friendly and enthusiastic staff

The only thing that I would change is that I would have shown up earlier for the 10AM trip. We showed up for a later trip and there is less going on in the water.

Birds, Sea Lions, Otters, Dolphins and Whales!
Sat, May 30  10:00 AM PaulFerguson Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
It was a little early in the morning for the uber enthusiasm of the tour guide but they made it easy to check in, board the boat, and get going. The ride out of the bay to the open ocean had nice scenery and we saw lots of sea lions and otters along the way. The skipper must have radioed ahead (another boat was already out) because he knew exactly where to go to see several humpbacks gracefully moving along while feeding. Often we heard the whales blow before we actually saw them arch over and submerge again. Suddenly the boat's engines revved, we turned around, and beelined for a spot nearby. There we found a large pod of Risso's Dolphins milling around. There may have been as many as 100 of the large dolphins and occasionally they would jump or slap their fins and tails on the water. They were all around the boat in subgroups of 3-6 animals. We then motored down the coast a couple miles and after a few minutes of watching, we were treated to the huge tail fluke of a great Blue Whale arcing completely out of the water as he dove for the depths. After a 15 minute wait we saw him again several times as he spouted and cruised along the surface. We definitely got our money's worth.

too far away
Mon, May 25  10:00 AM ksasak Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The crew were friendly and informative. It was a great trip. My husband and I went on another whale watching tour the next day with a different company and the other boat got much closer to the whales.

Really fun
Sun, May 24  4:30 PM mstone042 Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
A lot more fun than I expected! The woman who narrated the trip was very fun and knowledgeable. Make sure you take some motion sickness pills beforehand since the trip out there can be bouncy. But was a great experience and would love to go again!

We saw Whales!
Sun, May 24  3:00 PM mjcullen1959 Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
First and foremost this is a whale watching trip. It is very basic, the elements are cold, the water choppy and unsettling to many stomachs, but mission accomplished. The captain found 2 Humpback whales and we got to watch them for about 45 minutes during which time, the calf put on a great show breaching out of the water and rolling something like 30 times!! Very exciting. If I were going again, and I would, I would dress warmer. Gloves and hat are recommended; A warm, windproof coat is a must. Warm shoes and long pants are also a must. Also, if you have a quesy stomach, ask yourself if seeing whales is worth losing your lunch. 1/3 of our trip did lose their lunch. All in all, this trip was a thrill. I had never seen a whale up close, and live like that this, so mission accomplished! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

Well worth the money
Sun, May 24  1:30 PM charlenec35 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We went on a whale watching cruise on the Princess. We were only expecting to see dolphins at the most. We were not dissappointed at all. Dulphins were jumping right on the side of our boat. Then to our surprise, we saw a humpback and her calf. Then we saw 2 other humpbacks besides the momma and baby. The biologist on the boat was really great too. If you go to Monterey, take the whale watching trip. You wont be dissappointed.

Great honeymoon trip
Sun, May 24  1:30 PM jacquelinweb Unspecified 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
We had a Cinderella wedding, and when we found the 'Princess', we just had to go out on it. The experience was breathtaking. The tour guide was fabulous and quite energetic. She was VERY imformative and cued us when a 'tail' was about to appear for the pictures. We will definitely do this again.

It was a very good trip and worth going.
Sat, May 23  4:30 PM Sandhya Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
It was a very good trip and we njoyed watching the hump-back whales. I am interested in watching aquatic mammals and I really njoyed those humungous whales. Its just that we couldnt see dolphins. It would have been more fun if there were dolphins. People who have sea sickness may not enjoy so much, just like my husband. So better take some precautionary medication before you get onto the cruise.
