Everyone in the group really enjoyed the time spent out on the water. The captain was very knowledgable, took us where the whales (2 of teh humpbacks) were playing. He followed close enough each time they went under.

A Great Time

We took the 2 1/2 hour trip, and saw Humpbacks, Dolphins, Seals, and Sea Lions. I recommend taking the later trips as you'll have less chance of fog ans more chance for sunshine. Also, the earlier trips will have likely already found the animals. The captain and crew were friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoy!

SPECTACULAR

I really recommend this company to go whale watching. Everyone was so incredibly nice and answered all of my questions. I especially liked the marine biologists who narrated for us. She took such a great excitement explaining everything to us. We had a wonderful time and it was definitely an experience of a lifetime. Only kudos is they didn't have snacks on board very limited so make sure you bring your own beverages and snacks.

We saws dolphins, whales, and a giant sunfish. Whale watching is one of those items that should be on everyone list.

Wonderful Experience from a skeptic
Sat, Sep 13, 08   9:00 AM superbliss Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I'm naturally cynical and was concerned that my husband and I would shell out $80 to go out, be cold and see nothing. I was completely wrong! This was one of the best experiences of my life. We did the 9am trip and while the weather was cool, I was able to sit outside for almost the entire trip and stay relatively warm. The crew was pleasant and knowledgeable and seemed, every bit as excited as their passengers, to take in the sights of the humpback whales, dolphins, sea lions, seals and other marine life. We were not only fortunate enough to see one group of whales but also a second group. The Captain really seemed to understand the importance of timing with regard to the dolphins swimming along side the boats, as well as the length of time the passengers needed and wanted to stay and take pictures/video etc. of the spectacular animals. I even overheard that the Captain had allowed 2 children to come up and see the view from his deck. I fully recommend this trip and we are returning in November and hope to take the trip again. When our children meet the age requirements we plan to return on this trip with them. *****

Mixed but OK

Everyone should try this at least once. Saw several whales so the purpose of the trip was fulfilled. If visions of 'National Geographic' are on your mind; forget it. The whale spotting is just that - spot a surfacing whale, see it dive and wait for the next one. Before departure, boat operator mentioned there was a little 'bump' in the ocean. Beware! That means the ride out will be VERY BUMPY. Those conditions will be a challenge to weak tummies. Be sure to dress in layers (as they advise you on their web site) because it can be cool on the way out, and then warmer when idling to observe the whales. Otherwise, the trip is what is advertised. The length of time observing whales is adequate. The ride back is smooth and allows for time to appreciate the coastline.

fantastic excursion
Mon, Sep 8, 08   3:00 PM Emotions Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Other
We did the whale watch excursion in the zodiac on May, 25th 2008 in the afternoon. That day we had incredible beautiful weather and although we had sunscreen on we all got burned in our faces but this faded away in all the excitement we experienced by witnessing a big pack of whales aslo known as the K-group. They swam past us a couple of times and some also jumped from joy out of the water which doesn't occure regularly. We had a very experienced guide who knew a lot of the animals and their surrounding and managed to sail in front of the whales a couple of times. After a few hours and a little bit later then anticipated because the site of the whales was so great we returned to the harbour with a lot of excited pictures. The captain took a few big waves so we had a spectaculair ride back.

We had a 40' to 50' humpback whale hanging around our boat for about 15 minutes. It was an experience of a lifetime. Thank you Montery Princess. The shipboard guide did an excellent job of providing information about all of the wildlife we encountered.

Whale Watching in Monterey celebrating Anniversary
Sat, Sep 6, 08   9:00 AM dsanchez Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My girlfriend and I had a blast going Whale watching in Monterey. It was very awesome just getting out on the water and cruising around the bay. On my trip, we got to see a pack of three humpback whales. The whales came right up to the boat and we were able to get some awesome pictures. We liked the activity a lot and we'll definitely do it again next time were in Monterey. I recommend this activity to anyone who loves nature or just going boating. It was great!

Great trip
Wed, Sep 3, 08   10:00 AM bright1 Unspecified Unspecified Local Other
This was a great trip, good value for money, and alot of fun. We saw quite a few whales and alot of dolphins. The crew were friendly and helpful. A couple of things to bear in mind ; It was very cold even though it was unbelievably warm on the shore) so dress warm, and although we turned up half an hour in advance, there really was no need for that, and we ended up literally just standing there waiting. I think 15 mins early would be more reasonable.
