People can be jerks. I have 2 small kids and when we where trying to board the boat, people without kids stampeded like it was a metallica concert. Once on the boat, we sat near the entrance to the boat. The weather was nice and we saw lots of seals and otters in the harbor. Once we got out far enough, someone had spotted a whale. So immediately everyone ran over to where we were sitting and blocked our whole view. I never got to see a whale and neither did my kids. It was a waste of money. People as a whole need to learn respect and courtesousy. I would have never blocked someone's view because I was greedy. It would have been fine to get a quick peek and then move, but these inconsiderate jerks remained there the rest of the time. So be careful, there are apperently no rules when it comes to courtesy. |

The waves were quite choppy the day we went, but we saw a fair amount of whales and the marine biologist (Katherine?) was really great! |

My husband, 9 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed our whale watching trip whilst visiting Monterey. It was well organised and we were rewarded with seeing humpback whales which was amazing. Importantly, we never felt as if we were disturbing the whales in any way - the boat stayed far enough away from them at all times. Although this meant our view was from a distance, I felt comfortable knowing we had seen the whales without disturbing their peace and quiet! Highly recommended. |

A good biologist makes the difference |

Biggest boat, best biologist makes the difference.
Although we had bad weather and saw only three
whales the biologist made the trip interesting.
Having an ex-Coast Guard captain guiding the boat thru
rough swells eliminated any concerns.
And, if you need to puke, go to the back of the boat please. |

best day ever!! |

Our departure was prompt and we saw dolphins within the first 15 minutes. The captain spotted Humpback Whales while we were viewing the dolphins, so we wasted no time searching for them. It was fabulous. We saw other vessels in the distance and each was viewing a group of whales (you could see their exhales against the horizon). Altogether we saw 6 Humpback Whales in 2 separate groups. The tour length was perfect as well -- 2 1/2 hours dock to dock. |

No killer whales!!!!!!!! |

This was our second trip out in the past 6 months, and we saw whales on both adventures. We enjoyed the trip very much. The crew was informative and friendly. My only complaint was the loudspeaker was terribly loud. I enjoyed the intermittent silences. We will definitely be back and recommend the trip highly! |
