| Thoroughly enjoyed our Princess Monterey Whale Watching Trip! The captain and the crew were courteous and friendly. The whales and hundreds of dolphins we saw was something we won't soon forget. Highly recommend this trip. The vessel is very accommodating with an indoor cabin area if things get a little chilly and there is plenty of deck space to move around on to catch views of all the wildlife you will see. |

| Sighted whales but never got quite close enough to view well. but the school of dolphins we trailed was worth it. |

| I have taken this tour twice before to see Humpbacks in late spring. Those whales are more entertaining than the ones this time of the year as they jump out of the water & you can see more of the whales. We did see at least 25+ whales on this trip so that was exciting too. |

| My 13 year old daughter had a day off from school and I decided to take her whale watching. It turned out to be the most beautiful day! We were worried about feeling sea sick and bought "sea bands" and ginger gum, but ended up not needing anything. The ride was very smooth, the ocean was the bluest blue and the best part... we saw about 40 whales! Anywhere we looked, were spouts! The biologist on board was very friendly and her excitment was infectious. She kept us well informed, but did not keep talking the whole time, giving us a chance to also experience being out in the ocean surrounded by the sound of the waves... Oh, it was magical! |

| It was a beautiful day and we saw probably between 30-40 whales. Our marine biologist was absolutely the very best. Her humor along with her extensive knowledge in the field made the whole trip. This is a trip I would recommend for the whole family - I will be bringing my grandchildren next time. There might be other tours, but between the very clean boat, the size, which I feel helped reduce the possiblity of seasickness, and the fact that there was a warm place to go if it had gotten cold, together makes this the very best. I can't wait to go again in the fall to see the Humpbacks and Blue whales. . |

| We were lucky to have such great weather in January. The ocean was calm and the sun was warm. The grandkids and I decided to take a boat ride and go whale watching that day. We saw at least 30 grey whales, spouting, diving and flipping their tales at us. The whales were so graceful and awesome to see. As the boat headed back to shore, a school of at least 2 dozen dolphiins accompanied the boat back. They were beautiful and very peaceful in spirit.
I highly recommend taking this trip. It is well worth the price. The staff was knowledgeable and informative. We learned about the ocean life in the Monterey bay and the habits of the whales.
After the boat ride we enjoyed clam chowder at the Monterey Wharf and a walk on the beach. You couldn't ask for a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We all went home with smiles on our faces. |

| We had such a wonderful time on the beautiful Monterey Bay. The Princess people were courteous. The guide was knowledgeable and fun. We saw a lot of whales, though unfortunately none up close, and even some dolphins, who swam right next to the boat. The boat sailed smoothly. I didn't even get seasick, thanks to the Ginger candies and the Dramamine! |

| I would like to see if they can coordinate a much closer views of the whales. Our announcer was loud. Next time, we would pick a smaller boat for the experience. |

| The weather, the multitude of sea life and veteran staff made this journey absolutely wonderful. We saw many, many whales, a very active small pod of dolphin, jellies, aquatic birds, and sea lions. The naturalist was both fun and informative. The captain did everything in his power to help us see as many things as we could. Moving the boat constantly to keep us in the line of sight. We had a fabulous trip! |
