| While it was interesting to go see a few whales, it took a long time to go 14 miles out to sea and then come back, leaving only about 20-30 minutes of actual whale watching. Several people got seasick and I suggest the motion sickness pills, even though the swells and waves weren't that big. I went inside the cabin for a few minutes on the way out and immediately got queasy so I stayed outside - but it was quite chilly with the wind. The most negative part of the experience was walking past all the people on fisherman's wharf that were trying to get your business. There was just too much hawking for your business at the restaurants. | ||||||

| Do not expect to see dolphins right next to the boat. They're there, but they can dive up to 15 minutes without really knowing where they'll come up again. The crew does their best to spot and get close, so it's not a lack of skill, but you have to be a bit lucky as well. Make sure have have sailor's legs, the pacific can be quite rough, even at quiet times! | ||||||

| My husband and I enjoyed seeing our first whales. It is definitely a new experience and they are unique creatures. The only thing my husband and I were disappointed in was that once we found the 3 whales we stayed there for the next hour watching those 3 whales, never leaving to find other whales. I guess we expected to search for different groups of whales. We did see a group of dolphins on our way back to shore. That was nice as well. Unfortunately I did get sick (I think because we stayed in one spot rocking back and forth for an hour as I felt comfortable whenever we were moving). The staff was very helpful though with everyone that was sick. | ||||||

Entertaining Biologist aboard-Great

| We did'nt get as close to a whale as we would have liked, but we did have a couple opportunties to see them jump . Having only a digitall camera that goes to sleep often ,I was not able to get a picture. Made me wish I had bought an old fashion film reguired camera. There were numerous Dolphins following the ship & were quite entertaining. The biologist was very enthusiastic about her work and she made the trip memorable. We did get to smell Whale Breath. They say that doesn't happen on every trip out, but when it does it's breath taking. Really. The trip was a little on the rough side on the way out and 5 people got seasick that I know of. I myself took 1 sea sick pill, and took a little piece of ginger to chew on, and I was fine. If you aren't sure, take something about 1 hour before departure. The trip was not enjoyable for those 5 people. We will certainly take this boat the next time we go. | ||||||

awsome experience

| The boat was awsome in itself! the guide gave us a lot of knowledge of her background as a biologist and the captains background of working in the coast guard, lets us know that they both were really into there jobs. we saw 6 humpback whales it was so much fun me and my girlfriend loved it. i think the animals that they said we would most likely see(i.e. dolphins, seals) we actually didnt see any dolphins kind of a let down but the whale sightings where enough for us. next time we go which we will definetly go again we will go when they are just coming back at this time of year they are working hard to gather food beofre they go several months without eatin(learned that from the tour) | ||||||

| It helped that the weather was beautiful and the whales cooperated, but it really was a nice trip. The boat was good, the crew was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a pair of humpback whales. They became curious and hung around the boat for upwards of half an hour. It was great. Got plenty of great photos of them - right next to the boat! Lots of tails in the air, too. Also saw a large group of dolphins, many running right along the boat or in its wake. Nice trip. Very memorable. | ||||||

| The captain found two whales and we carefully floated towards them. We got to see them spouting several times and they became curious about our boat. They were humped back whales, about as long as the boat. There was two of them and they swam around and around the boat for a half an hour! We got to see them use their double blow holes several times, see their majestic tales and they even popped their barnicle encrusted heads out for us to see 2-3x. They were sometimes as close a 5 feet from the boat and they very gently and carefully would hump their backs and flip up their tales and glide under the water without even rocking the boat. They were amazing gentle creatures. Thank YOU for a wonderful birthday! | ||||||

| This was the absolute best time of our whole trip! The captain and crew were great and located whales!!! They came right up to the boat! We were all within feet of the whales! We saw tails rise out of the water, saw them dive under the boat and come up on the other side! What gentle creatures! It was completely amazing! I highly recommend this to anyone! Sincerely, Joy and Paul from Minnesota | ||||||

| We went on our Whale Watching Trip on 9-19-08 and had a fantastic time we saw Humpback Whales within 30min of leaving port and had 2 whales hang around our boat for about 1 1/2 hrs and got some awesome pics. The captain and crew of the Monterey Princess were very knowledgeable about the whales and the boat was great they had a snack bar with reasonable prices. Would recommend for families and couples. | ||||||
