Really fun

A lot more fun than I expected! The woman who narrated the trip was very fun and knowledgeable. Make sure you take some motion sickness pills beforehand since the trip out there can be bouncy. But was a great experience and would love to go again!

We went on a whale watching cruise on the Princess. We were only expecting to see dolphins at the most. We were not dissappointed at all. Dulphins were jumping right on the side of our boat. Then to our surprise, we saw a humpback and her calf. Then we saw 2 other humpbacks besides the momma and baby. The biologist on the boat was really great too. If you go to Monterey, take the whale watching trip. You wont be dissappointed.

Great honeymoon trip

We had a Cinderella wedding, and when we found the 'Princess', we just had to go out on it. The experience was breathtaking. The tour guide was fabulous and quite energetic. She was VERY imformative and cued us when a 'tail' was about to appear for the pictures. We will definitely do this again.

It was a very good trip and worth going.

It was a very good trip and we njoyed watching the hump-back whales. I am interested in watching aquatic mammals and I really njoyed those humungous whales. Its just that we couldnt see dolphins. It would have been more fun if there were dolphins. People who have sea sickness may not enjoy so much, just like my husband. So better take some precautionary medication before you get onto the cruise.

It was an experience for us. We had never done this before and we loved. Just being on the water was great. We saw 2 Orca's that day.

Too bad we didn't see more!

We went out on a gray, cloudy day, sailing for what seemed forever. Finally saw two killer whales! I realize that we are dealing with wild animals who don't operate on schedule, but my daughter said it was too much time on the ocean--2 hours 40 minutes--just to see flippers wave!

Amazing Cruise

Seeing the whales was the highlight of our trip. We saw about 5 whales and several dolphins. The whales even came right up to the boat. We have several amazing photos. Watching these huge humpbacks breach was awesome. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.
