| The tour guide was wonderful, very entertaining and very knowledgeable. We saw lots of humpback whales, dolphins, seals, birds, etc!! It was a great trip that we would do again in a heartbeat! Well worth the cost. We were hoping to see a blue whale, but we saw sooo many humpback whales, some even close to the boat! Highly recommend! |

| We had a really fantastic whale watching trip with our two children aged 13 and 9. We went at 10am and saw blue whales, dolphins, porpoises, humpback whales. The trip was well narrated and organised. You need to take notice of the recommendation to wear layers and something windproof, it is colder on the water than on land (we did this trip in August). Other comments have referred to motion sickness, but we had no problems at all, the trip was unreservedly wonderful and if we return to Monterey we shall definitely do this again. |

| This was certainly worth the money! The marine biologist on board was a hoot and absolutely fabulous! You can tell she loves what she does as well as knows her stuff!
My husband and I were visiting from San Jose for his 50th birthday and this was on our list of "to-do's!" We would do it again and plan on bringing family to Monterey in Sept and inviting them to go whale watching!
Great! |

| I'm from the S.F. Bay Area and have been out on several whale watching cruises over the years, including a couple with marine biology classes in college, and this was the best I've ever experienced. The boat was comfortable and roomy, the staff friendly and focused on safety, and the naturalist on board was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. Monterey is the place to see whales of all kinds, which makes it a great place to take kids. Highly recommended. |

| It was great to have a very enthusiastic marine biologist on board who gave us masses of information and made it fun for the kids.
We saw several groups of whales - humpbacks, as well as sea-lions, porpoises and various birds.
It was a great 3 hours |
