A bumpy ride but well worth it.

| The ride out was quite bumpy due to really choppy water... but the one humpback whale we saw was well worth the trip out. The guide gave lots of info on the way out and did point out that the ride was bumpier than usual. The whale was also more actively moving than usual and we ended up chasing kind of in a circle. It was cool that two other boats were also coordinating in spotting the whale's location. In the end we did see the whale come up about three to four times... enough to get at least one picture. I'm sure if the trip was made in the middle of a season instead of in between there would have been a higher chance of seeing more whales. All in all a good trip and I would definitely recommend and go again. | ||||||

Whale Watching "Out For"

| I realize there is no control over if and when the whales are there, but it would have been less boring/ cold if they had some type of information or activity going on ,on the boat, during the "Whale Watch out for" . The crew and nature guide where fine, but feel as if there were some type of activity, less people would be getting Sea sick, or motion sick due to having a mental distraction. Possibley video of prior trips, on a screen inside, or ? | ||||||

| We took my mother in law with my husband and I a for Mothers Day gift and we all had the best time possible. The whales were great and the ride was ok. The captian was imformative and polite. He followed the whales as they played and splashed. We got some great pictures and memories of a life time. Some of the boats didn't go out that day because of the wind but our captain got a heads up on a sighting and told us of the wind and I would have not missed it for anything. It was a wonderful experience. | ||||||

| Lets start out by saying had this trip been successful, we would give 5 stars. We had planned this excursion for over a year. Wanted to pick the best time to go, not too cold, not too hot (u get the pic) We scheduled our tickets on-line, then drove from SF to Monterey. The boat was nice, the crew was skillful, friendly and helpful. The days preceeding our trip had produced a lot of whale sightings, so of course we were very excited and hopeful. Unfortunately, the dreaded F O G arrived as we entered the deep waters to see the whales, so we didn't get to see any. This company was honest and gracious enough to give us tickets for another day. Since these tickets have no expiration date,we plan on going again when we head from the atlantic coast to the west. So don't hesitate, buy a ticket on The Princess Monterey, you have nothing to lose. Monterey and nearby Carmel are beautiful places to visit. There are wonderful photo opportunities coming from the north or south. Plan on a few days! | ||||||

| We had made the long trip out and thought it was going to be a no show event when there they were. A large group of Killer whales. They surfaced often and a few of the younger ones breached out of the water. There was one large male with the group. It was terrific! Dress warmly it's cold out on the water. Experience of a lifetime. | ||||||

| Hi my wife and I booked this trip to get away from the kids, and celebrate her birthday. We were a little concerned about the possible bad weather. However, once we got there, the hospitality and friendliness quickly erased any worry. We saw greys and killer whales. Even with a little rain, the trip went way too quick. We are already planning another trip! Thanks to the crew and Captain. Dan and Kimberly Hayes | ||||||

| It was so exciting seeing a group of killer whales, with a mother and baby coming up to our boat. Our captain worked with other captains to locate the whale and give us all an experience that we'll long remember. | ||||||

Great except the parking ticket

| We each took a Dramamine and none of us had problems. We saw a bunch of Orcas, a Grey whale and a Hump back!!! We arrived 1/2 hour early - the cruise beforehand provides complimentary coffee, muffin and binocular rental for $5. The cruise took a little over 2 1/2 hours - Afterward we walked hurriedly back to our car just as the gal was putting a $30 parking ticket on our car. The meter would only go up to 4 hours. We parked near the wharf where the map said to park however the meter lady said that "the next parking lot over offers 'pay as you leave' which would have been better for us". There were no signs advertising that - so we thought the parking lots were all metered; we thought 4 hours on the meter would be enough time but it wasn't. So we are going to contest the ticket. We wished we'd known. | ||||||

| The Crew of the Princess Monterey were excellent. From the minute you arrive everyone is very friendly and polite. The whale watch tours on the Monterey bay are very well organized and many different crews and boats work together to give there passengers the best chance to see whales so you will be along side many other vessels. We saw a gray whale right out of the inlet . Soon after we followed an large pod of Orca (killer whales) for most of the journey some of the time within a few feet of the whales allowing great photo opportunities! on the way back even caught a Humpback whale where even though we were over the 3 hour max for the tour the captain still stopped and allowed us to view the humpback and take a few more photo's! Overall a great experience I would recommend anyone take advantage of! | ||||||

| The staff was very professional and gave some interesting facts about the specific whale that we observed. I particularly liked the safety concerns of the staff when on the ship and moving about. It was a enjoyable time. | ||||||

Great activity to do in Monterey but...

| If you get seasick, you gotta be really prepare yourself for this activity. Don't eat before boarding. Even when you get seasick, if your stomach is empty, it's less painful. Take motion sickness pill beforehand. Someone recommended ginger candies are better but they didn't work for me. If you get sick, go to the back of the boat. You will feel much better. Also, it gets really cold on the boat so don't forget to bring extra warm cloth. Overall, it was an amazing trip! I went with my girlfriend and we got to see orcas (or killer whales)!! We weren't able to see whales but it's rare to see orcas so that was fine. | ||||||

| My husband and I had never been whale watching and decided this would be the year to do it. Kathleen had explained what we might be seeing and we were treated to a Hump Back Whale that gave us a real show for over an hour. She was very informative and used her wonderful personality to entertertain as well as teach those on board the beauties of the Sea. We would recomend this tour to any of our friends and family. P.S. Kathleen was also very sympathetic about my husband's Giants baseball cap being blown offf his head and ending up in the water. He really appreciated that.....it was his favorite. Thanks again, Bill and Renee Cutter | ||||||

We saw a humpback whale jumping for over an hour

| We were nervous about going because we live locally and my husband is skeptical and does not like big crowds. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff was very knowledgeable, professional and kept things interesting even when there was no whale to be seen. I know the whale watching companies compete but I think they also talk to each other as well as fisherman and other boaters because they knew exactly where the humpback was. It was a thrilling site - we saw him or her jump out of the water for over an hour. They respected the whales space and really tried not to interfere with it. I would highly recommend them - they were great! | ||||||
