An amazing trip!
Wed, Jul 16, 08   10:00 AM hawota Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
This was an amazing trip for all of us (including children ages 3 and 5). The marine biologist on the trip was not only very intellegent, but funny and personable too! We were able to see humback whales, pacific white sided dolphins, and killer whales. The boat is very nice with an inside cabin that was heated to break the chill. The cabin also had a variety of snacks and drinks available to purchase. It is a good value for the cost! I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone thinking about going. We are already planning when we can go again!

We would definitely recommend the whale watching tour. The price was very reasonable. Boat staff was very courteous and provided very useful information about whales. On our tour, we were able to see several blue whales, dolphins, seals, otters, and other fish.

20 Years of Whale Watching with This Company
Sat, Jul 12, 08   10:00 AM VOsten Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We have been whale watching with this company for over 20 years. Captain Leon is great at finding animals to see but is always respectful of the marine creatures and will never do anything to bother them. He is also a master at handling the swells in any weather, and we've been out in some very rough weather! Benji and the staff on land are always pleasant and polite, ensuring everything runs smoothly. I got a personal phone call when our tour was rained out last winter. We go out with Princess Monterey cruises twice a year and wouldn't whale watch with any other company.

My wife and I went on the 2.5 hour whale watching cruise and enjoyed it alot. We saw several humpback whales and many dolphins. The tour guide was both informative and entertaining. We would have had some great pictures for the kids if our camera would have been working.

A fun girls weekend activity for us. Lucky to be rewarded with a fantastic show of humpbacks, dolphins and birds even in mid July. Very professional and friendly staff. Worth every penny!

Great time!

Nice people, charismatic guide, beautiful boat. Compared to some of the other tour boats we saw heading out, this company is definitely one of the better ones. My only suggestion to anyone going whale watching is to have everyone in your group take dramamine!!! Even if you don't think you will need it, take it anyway. We all did and had a wonderful time, but there was a small group of various people who got seasick huddled in the back of the boat throwing up the entire time. When we got to the whales and dolphins, they were too sick to even stand up and look. Kids included. A simple pill a couple hours before your trip can make a huge difference!!
