Great whale-watching experience from 100-500 feet away, informative guide with lots of interesting commentary, boat was comfortable and seemed very well run, organized and friendly staff, all in all a great experience and well worth the money.

Nice, but not enough whales found

Altogether was very nice. The boat was great, well maintained, and the crew was splendid. Though we only saw a group of dolphins, and a couple of whales, and even these whales were viewed from quite far away. Not sure if it is in the hands of the company, but it was somewhat disappointing.

Could Have Paid Less For The Same ....

I thought these guys were the best and did something special for their customers. WRONG ! Not only did they charge almost twice the going rate, but they followed the other boats to the SAME location to see the SAME whales. What a rip off !! Sure we had a good time, but could have done it for a lot less.

Saw Blue Whale and Orca Pod
Mon, May 13  10:00 AM jean16707 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The crew and staff were very friendly, thoughtful and professional. The naturalist had additional photos for viewing. The day we went out in early May was foggy and windy. I wanted to see humpback whales and dolphins. We didn't see either of those that day but did see a blue whale and a large pod of Orcas. The Orcas were swimming at a fast clip and were visible on the surface for quite some time. We had the rare privilege of seeing a blue whale, an amazing opportunity. He wasn't real close, but not too far away. We saw his back and he spouted several times.

We saw a pod of 10 Orca Whales that we followed for quite some time. Then a Blue Whale who surfaced 7 times. What an incredible experience! Thank you!

Great crew! Experienced, knowledgeable & friendly

My mother, from Michigan, myself and my daughter enjoyed a tour with Princess. The water was a little choppy, but the captain and crew did a great job steadying the boat/ship and tending to passengers that were queazy. The crew was friendly and also chatted with us, answering any questions and socializing We saw a mother humpback and her calf. It was a great experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a friendly personable experience. Thanks!

Wonderful Crew and Amazing Sighting!
Sun, May 12  1:30 PM hjcarson Female Under 20 Local Family Without Children
I decided to take my parents on this whale watching trip for a Mother's Day present and I could not be more happy with the result. First off, my mother had the time of her life and left there wanting to go again. While on the water, I got a little seasick and right away a crew member came over to help and see if I was okay. They taught me how to calm my sickness a bit with certain techniques and they kept checking up on me throughout the trip. Overall, the crew was wonderful! As for the whale sighting...couldn't have been better! We were lucky to see two humpback whales! A mother and child! Perfect for mother's day! That was definitely a pleasant surprise. The whales were so beautiful. I swear the boat got completely silent when we were looking out at them. The experience was one my family and I will always remember.

Satisfied

I felt very secure with the Princess Montery and the crew. I think I had a misconception of what I might encounter... Thinking whales would be quite close and numerous. Thanks to the knowledge and determination of the captan we did encounter a mother Humpback and its's calf (perfect on Mother's Day) . Mother Nature is hard to predict... And I believe this crew will give it their best to make the clients trip memorable!

Seeing a couple of humpback whales from such a short distance was much more then I could expect.

Boring at first while your motoring around to find them. Took about 2 hrs to find them but man was it worth it. Beautiful creatures.
