| We took the 10am trip in an effort to have calm waters. The weather was perfect -- clear water, flat calm, no wind, and sunny without being overly hot. We saw one humpback whale and a pod of dolphins & porpose that must have numbered near 1000. They were leaping and splashing all around the boat and must have covered acres. They stayed with us for over an hour and stole the show as far as I was concerned. Even Charlie-dog was fascinated by their play.
Good weather & sightings like this are a matter of luck of course, but the crew seemed to have the experience to enhance what was available. We were out for the full 3 hours but the time flew by. We would happily pay to do it again and have been passing the recommendation to friends & co-workers. |

| I would highly recommended this trip. It's a great 2 hour cruise. My wife & I really enjoyed this trip and what it had to offer. The crew did their best to give us what we paid for and we did see 2 nice gray's just before returning to shore. |

OK but with one hitch

| I booked with Monterey WW because they advertise a 110 foot (Princess) boat and my wife and I get seasick on small vessels. When we presented our tickets we were
boarded on the 70 foot (Magnum Force) boat and told the Princess only
runs the morning watches. If I had known this I would have booked an
early departure time! |

| This was one of several gifts to my wife for out 30th wedding anniversary. Although she lived for 20 years in San Jose, she never visited Monterey for whale watching. She was very pleased. I selected this vendor based on the size of the ship, and it was all that I expected. I would recommend it to anyone interested. |

would take the trip again

| The naturalist that was with us on the trip was very knowledgeable and obviously enjoyed her job very much, which made the trip more enjoyable. While weather and the types of animals you will see are variable, on this specific trip we saw a good variety of animals and enjoyed good weather. I would recommend this company to others looking for a good whale watching trip. The price is higher than some of its competitors, but you will likely get your money's worth from the trip. |

| When I booked this boat I thought we would have a good time and maybe see a few things. But when we went in September 2007 we saw Three Humpbacks (1 was a baby) and a pretty good number of dolphins. The boat is pretty good sized. There is an inside cabin area with booths and seating on the deck. There were lots of people on our trip but there was still plenty of room on the boat. In our party there were 2 people over 65 (one stayed in the cabin because of the cold wind), 2 people in the 40s, 2 people in 30s, and 2 children. We all had a great time. |

| My husband and I were on our 20th wedding anniversary vacation. What a ride! The boat ride out was very exciting. I'd say more fun than a rollercoaster. We took everyones advice, dress warm, and by all means take dramamene! If you don't the ride won't be fun. We saw a mother whale and her calf, seals, dolphines and one sea otter. Because the crew is very careful not to disturb the animals in their own habitate we did not get very close. The naturalist kept us well informed and was a joy to listen to. |
