Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruises

The boat ride was very relaxing, the crew was very nice and friendly. We had a beautiful weather, too. Although we had some trouble finding whales in the beginning, the crew manager to find them so we took a few pictures. They were a little far from the boat, but we still had a unique experience.

Took the first boat out for the day. Got a late start, about 15 minutes but the cruise lasted 3 hours. It took a long time to get to the whales, but it was exciting when we got to see them. Some of the whales were very close so we could get some good pictures. It was nice to see that they provided coats for people who did not dress properly. It gets a bit cold on the ocean. Sea sick pills were also available for a nominal fee and we got there 30 minutes early, so I could take a pill right away and there was another just in case. People were able to move about the boat to get a good view of the whales and everyone was very pleasant.

I thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride out. Riding the waves was awesome!! My husband not as much. He was a bit cold. Once we got to the whale siting area, we did see some humpbacks, but mostly just that the humpbacks. I know the boats need to be careful so as to not harm or scare the animals and it was an awesome site to see these creatures. I just wish the captain had gone a bit further out to see the breaching whale that was doing all the tricks. We also, only stayed like 10-15 minutes. It would have been nice to have stayed longer. The captain said lets go find our own whales, but headed back and we saw no others. I will take one more trip to see if I can see the spectacle of nature breaching the water or the big blue whales, orca's or even dolphins. I am not soured yet to the excursion.

everyone should do this. you will never see anything so beautiful in your life.

sept,19 , We saw three humpback whales and were able to watch and take photos for 20 minutes or so and we also saw a group of reese (spelling ?) dolphins . Would take the tour again . The crew and staff were very nice .

Enjoyed the trip and the marine biologist was informative and personable. Some of the PA was difficult to hear at times Movement of people around the boat who were a little too keen meant that at times we were shoved out of the way of the whales on view.

Our marine biologist was amazing and funny and gave us a chance to choose what we wanted to do. We saw plenty of Orca, a few Blue Whales, and a number of other species of whales, sunfish, birds, jellyfish and seals. Our group had a fantastic trip!

The biologist that explained everything was factual and fun.

Had to take a really long boat ride out, but saw a couple of huge blue whales. Apparently their behavior was strange that day, they were staying in close to the same location instead of swimming straight through the area. We got so lucky!! We got to see them over and over for quite awhile. It was amazing and very informative!!! Great trip!!!

i have seen whales and dolphins during the tour, it is fantastic!!!I'll do it again!
