Good whale watching trip

We enjoyed the whale watching trip on March 15, 2009. We got to see some gray whales, but they wasn't able to get as close as I would have liked to see them. The highlight of the trip was seeing a mother seaotter swimming with her baby on her back. Overall it was a fun trip!

We went out on March 15 and had a great time. We saw a group of about six Greys. The boat was great and the ride was smooth. The weather was nice too. The crew is very helpful and friendly. Only watch-outs: you won't get as close to the whales as you hope and the naturualist's narriation gets slightly off-color.

Cold but FUN

the whale watching was fun & exciting. It was Extremely cold ( especially when you got wet ) so dressing in extra layers is a MUST. Preferably better in the summer then winter and/or spring season ( due to weather conditions ). overall grade for whale watching trip: A-

Amazing!

This was my first time. The trip was amazing. I did see gray whales and a jelly fish! That alone had me thrilled!! The captain was great and very informative. The ride was bumpy and it took awhile to find the whales but I still loved the experience. I was disappointed a little with the fact that we can barely see the whales. That was my only disappointment. I plan to go again this summer with the kids!

We saw whales!!

We went out in March to see the whales. Our guide gave us a lot of interesting information about the whales. Her sence of humor hurt my 10 year olds feelings. She understond and did not make anymore jokes using her. We followed the whales for about a 1/2 hour as they swam up the coast. Everyone in my party did enjoyed the experience.

Uncomfortable

They used the small boat, not the one that was advertised.for that time. This was my third whalewatch and while we saw more whales than I ever saw before it was so bumpy that I had to hold on the whole time and never took out my camera. I was disappointed.
