| The whale watching excursion was very enjoyable. The crew and owner was very accomodating. The young lady who narrated the trip was very enthusiastic and interesting to listen to. She made the trip fun.I would recommend it highly. Small children might find it a bit boring if there isn't a lot going on. |

| I thought it could have been great but it took forever to locate the whales and then when we found them it seemed we had a couple glimpses of fins and then had to turn around and go back. I thought that it was not worth the price of admission. I would have been happy to at least be able to spend a decent amount of time watching and see if they came closer. We had to move since the next tour was coming through. Maybe I should have done more research on this outfit. |

| My husband and I were so tremendously impressed with each aspect of our tour. Our guide/marine bioligist Katherine was energetic, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. She shared all of these traits with us. By the end of the tour we had learned so much about the "Transient Orca's" that we were so lucky to have shared the afternoon with. The ship was sturdy and safe, and I would have been more than comfortable to have had my children with me. The captain Leon, a 25 year veteran of The Coast Guard, added to our sense of security. These animals are a miracle and the crew fabulous. A definate must see tour. Thanks everybody.
We are happy to give it a "Five Fins Up" rating!

| The crew on the boat was wonderful. They were very attentive, caring, & passionate about the whales & the members aboard. The ONLY thing that made it unpleasant for me was seasickness. I did buy the ginger tablets that were suggested, but it didn't help me. If you can get past the seasickness....it's a trip to take. |

| We had the good luck to see a pod of orcas feeding and palying very close to Monterey. It was very interesting, but a lot colder than we expected. When they say bring warm clothes, they aren't kidding (even glvoes would be useful). The marine biologist was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. |

| Before the trip started we weren't sure if we would be fortunate to see any whale's. But soon after leaving the dock we were completely entertained by the sight of the awesome size and beauty of a small family of Whale Killers or "Killer Whale's"..
In one word, AWESOME!!!!! |

There were too many boats when we seen a spray. The other boats came around and pretty much scared the whale far off. We never seen dolphins, Sea turtles, or any other sea life. So really with a family of 4 we did not get our money's worth. I know there is no guarantee but it was like the dead sea. |
