| The Biologist was very knowlegeable and gave us lots of interesting facts. We went to see whales and we got to see them. We plan to go whale watching again in the further. |

| My daughter and I took a day off work just to be together. We both love the ocean and dolphins and whales and a little action. This choice was just right. The boat was comfortable, and the captain and crew did a fine job. They were focused on making it a good time for the passengers. |

| The guide was informative and funny. She was very friendly. She knew all about marine life. We saw lots of whales and seals. The whole experience was enjoyable. We had our daughter and son-in-law with us and they loved the experience too!!! |

| We were originally scheduled to go out on the afternoon Princess Monterey tour. Got a phone call about 09:30 informing us that the afternoon tour was being cancelled due to bad weather being expected. Offered to reschedule us for the morning tour, a different day tour or a refund! We opted to go on the morning tour since this was the primary purpose for our visit to Monterey. Good choice! Weather was chilly and seas were up to 10 feet but the captain and the boat handled both well. Were out for about two hours with no sighting and then a pod of 3 gray whales were spotted. Got to spend about 45 minutes watching these beautiful creatures before we had to head back.
Captain and crew were super - friendly and willing to take the time to answer any questions asked. A few people got sick on the tour and the crew did everything they could to help make their situation more tolerable.
I would highly recommend this company and, in fact, I am already planning to return next year and go out with them more than once during our stay. |

| This whale watching excursion was the high light of our trip to California from Colorado. The boat was large, the crew was professional. Everything was on time, and we saw 2 pods of gray whales. It was a wonderful experience. |

| The captain really tried to ensure that we saw whales. We were really lucky to see at least 5 humpback whales on our trip. It was a bit cold and choppy, but well worth it for the experience. |

| The whale watching trip was a little less than expected, but exciting. I tried to remain positive with the brief sightings of whale body parts darting below the surface, but it was just disappointing, and somewhat boring with their distance so far away. If you blinked your eyes at the wrong time, you missed it. Too few sightings for the time spent. We were treated nicely by the crew. |

Wonderful, but not for everyone...

| Out of our group of 5 adults and one teen, I was the only one who had trouble with seasickness. Since I knew I was at risk from past experience I came prepared with Bonine and a Relief Band, but still felt quite green for much of the time. If you do not have trouble with such things, then this is a great trip. We saw a number of whales and the naturalist guide was helpful, but I would definitely recommend ONLY to those who do not experience motion sickness!! |

| We were thrilled with the trip. I would STRONGLY advise everyone to take some sort of sea sick preventative. I know for myself I need it so I always wear patches. We were told that our day out was very smooth & if that was so then I would have had a hard time even with a patch.
Everyone working the trip was most helpful & showed true concern for our time. The marine biologist was so entertaining & educational. Thanks for a great time! |
