Exciting!

My husband and I enjoyed the whale watching cruise very much. We were lucky to have beautiful weather and we got to see a number of whales - water spraying from their blow-hole and then their huge fins coming up out of the water as they dove down - just like we have seen on television!

Bad trip

The chief problem with this tour (besides cold weather and lack of whale sightings which one can't blame on the tour supplier) was the brassy voiced "docent" speaking speaking into a hand-held mike that produced poor quality sound. Much of what she said was unintelligible and what one could hear did not encourage asking for more.

There is absolutely no way that the Captain and crew could state that we would see whales...It is not their fault that we didn't see anyj!!. The crew is very accommodating and helpful. We also received "Rain Checks" for another tour someday... Thank you to all the crew.....

We had a good trip. The winds were high and thus it was a pretty rough trip. One woman in our group got sea sick, but not too bad. The crew did a good job of caring for her. Yes, we saw some whales.

I felt very secure with the Princess Montery and the crew. I think I had a misconception of what I might encounter... Thinking whales would be quite close and numerous. Thanks to the knowledge and determination of the captan we did encounter a mother Humpback and its's calf (perfect on Mother's Day) . Mother Nature is hard to predict... And I believe this crew will give it their best to make the clients trip memorable!

These guys were so awesome-- a great experience-- very friendly from the dock to the boat. The crew was so informative and pleasant. I would recommend this group to anyone. They made sure we found whales and followed -- we got great photos!!!!

Better boat

Second time on this tour, last time was 18 months ago. This provider appears to have larger boats than the other companies; it is much more comfortable to sit inside as you go out to and return from the whale watching site. The guide provided more information than just "there is one at 3 o'clock." I was able to get many great images, thanks to the whales being curious and wanting to stay close to the boat.
