Although the seas were rough, the capain worked hard to find whales for us to view. We did find two groups--and watched them for a while. Loved that tail flipping up as they prepared to dive. The Naturalist was not on board during our trip--she was "on assignment", but the captian was very informative. The crew was very helpful with those folks that were seasick. |

Wise choice for birthday gift. |

It was a perfect gift for my date. Her birthday was 11/20 and mine is 11/22.
She had mentioned on a previous trip to Monterey 9/15/07 about how she had always wanted to do a whale watching excursion. But no one ever wanted to go with her. Well, because I absolutely adore her, I decided to go online to make this happen. Honestly, I have never done anything like this before. Thank you for making it simple.
Review: From start to finish everything was good. The staff on board were kind and courtious. Everything was cooperative, the weather and certainly the whales. We were fortunate to see two sets of mothers and babies. A very unforgetable and memorable moment for the both of us. I was so happy to be the one to share this with her. The whole experience of being on the seas and seeing some of God's most remarkable creations was a total high. In between the whales appearances, I took in all I could to treasure forever.
I intend to try and catch the grey whales in January. I definitely recommend this experience to everyone and anyone. As I said on the boat to another shipmate, "this is better than Disneyland". It was worth the money and effort. And my dear friend, well she has a lasting picture of the almighty "whales tail" that she put on her computer screen at her work. And for me, I'm glad to have made this happen for her.
So if your contemplating doing this, "go for it".
Oh, and by the way, take two dramamines and wear the wrist bands. You"ll enjoy the trip much better. They do work.
Happy Trails.

Being a veteran of several whale-watching trips, this trip was pleasant, although not one of our best trips. We saw only a couple of whales, although this could have been due to the lateness of the season (November 13). We also saw a few sea lions that kept repeatedly jumping out of the water. The weather was very comfortable, and the water was very smooth. If I went again, I would go a little earlier in the season.
The naturalist leader of our trip was very fun and informative. I would recommend her without question. |

I thought that the captain and staff were very knowledgable and caring about our experience. My only complaint was that it was supposed to be 2.5 hours possibly even 3 depending on the whales but we returned back to the dock under 2 hours...
Since it was the most expensive one I researched I thought that was disappointing.
Other than that it was great and I would consider recommending them but would let them know about the time/price thing first. |

OK, but didn't see a whole lot. |

Crew was nice, boat appeared to be one of the nicest in the marina which is definitely a plus, but really didn't see much of anything to make it a worthwhile experience. So, if you definitely want to go on a whale watching trip I recommend this company, but if you aren't sure whether you want to go whale watching or do something else then do something else. |

great experience |

As it was quite cold, it was good that the ship has a heated cabin. We went out twice and saw whales, dolphins, mola molas. We had a great time. |

We had a great time! |

It was a nice sunny warm day. The guide had great enthusiasm and a great personality. We were able to see several whale's, which was very exciting and I got some great pictures. The only set back was that we could not rent the binnoculars because neither myself or my husband had our ID's. They were back in the car and we did not have time to go get them. So, it would be nice if a deposit could be put down if someone happened to forget their ID. |

This is a great trip for your anniversary. The crew was well informed, and told me details that I didn't know (and I'm a Biology major). We saw some jellies and whales, but even if there were no whales, the boat trip itself was fun enough. i recommend this trip to anyone and everyone. |
