| We had a great time. The boat maneuvered close enough to get some great video of the whales. The guide aboard was knowledgeable and informed. The one complaint is not against the boat or crew, but the Pacific Ocean. Once we got clear of the bay, we were in 8-10' swells. The boat moved quite a bit, and it was a little disconcerting. The boat was 100', and I cannot imagine having gone with one of the other cruise operators on their 70' boats. They would be like a cork in those seas. Overall, well worth the money and very enjoyable, but if you are prone to nausea, take some Dramamine. |

| This is the third time we have gone out on the Princess Monterey. Every time we have gone out we have had a great experience. On this trip we saw a number of whales including a mother and her baby. Last time we had more that a dozen dolphins following our boat. Each time we have gone out there has been a marine biologist to tell us about all the sea life and the birds. They have all been very good but this one, her name was Catherine, was exceptional. Her enthusiasium rubbed off on everyone. |

| I am still talking about the whales that we saw and how much fun the trip was. The staff was very friendly and the boat ride was amazing. I will definitely recommend Princess Whale Watching tours to others. |

You could see the whales, from a long distance, and by the end I was kind of bored. Don't go if you get seasick, many people on our cruise were miserable by the end. |

| We were unable to attend the Whale Watching Tour. My daughter had a serious ear infection and we had to cancel the trip.
Our overall participation with Zerve and the folks at the tour office where fine. |

| The boat was clean and comfortable. The crew was experienced and pleasant. There was not much going on whale-wise, but we followed the one that was out there for more than an hour. |

| The tour was really awesome, for my sons and I. The tourists should be warned upfront to dress in layers and dress to be warm, because I can get really windy and very chilly (cold).
The marine biologist very informative and friendly, answering any questions the group may have had. She educated the group just about the full 3 hours we were with her.
My son complained 2 bucks for a candy bar was a little steep and renting binoculars was a waste of money for our trip, the humpbacks weren't on the surface long enough to focus with a pair of binoculars let alone a camera. We did actually get a few nice pictures.
All in all we really enjoyed the tour and would take it again on a return vacation. |
