Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruises

This trip was great! We saw so many whales that it was unbelievable. I had no idea what to expect, but this way exceeded anything I imagined. The whales are such beautiful, graceful animals. I was surprised that they stayed on the surface so long, they seemed to enjoy their audience as much as we enjoyed seeing them. I would highly recommend this tour.

I loved this trip and would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't so crowded. Just 20 less people and it would have been more accessible. The guide was great! She knew so much and was simply put, a kick in the pants and the rest of the crew were so kind.

Very impressive to actually see al those whales, we hadn't expected this kind of excitement at all. Thanks for your enthousiastic support! Jan Roelofs

What can I say but that this was a fantastic trip! This boat is smaller than the Princess Monterey with less people on board making it so much easier to see the whales. We were able to watch the humpback whale calf frolicking in the bay, rolling and doing fin slap after fin slap. I was able to get so many wonderful pictures! The waters were calm and the weather was fabulous. It was an all around excellent day! I would highly recommend Princess Monterey Whale Watching. The boats are clean, the crew is wonderful, the marine biologists on board are very enthusiastic. I have taken several whale watching cruises with this company and the sights I've seen from each and every one of them will be with me for a long, long time. Seeing these magnificent creatures up close and personally is a very humbling yet energizing experience! Job well done, guys! You deserve ten stars!

The kids and I had a fantastic time. We saw 10 Humpbacks and 2 Blue Whales and numerous Dolphins. The staff was informative and very helpful. I am telling everyone to go!

Nice roomy boat- there's room for everyone to see. Interesting narration from onboard biologist. Great whale sightings!!

Can't wate to do it again fun smoth trip

This was an AMAZING trip. We saw three types of whales, two types of dolphins and various sea birds UP CLOSE, so close we could almost touch the dolphins because they were swimming right next to the boat! I'd recommend the Princess tour to anyone. Because the boat was so big, no one got a bit sea sick. Several friends have gone on smaller boats only to return green around the gills. We are most certainly returning next year!

It was a great trip, but the duration was a little less than exected. We left late and arrived early, i would have liked longer stops where the whales were. But we got to see humpback whales and blue whales which was fantastic.

We had a great time! It was awe inspiring to know we were in the same vicinity as so many whales. Thanks for a great time!

We had a very nice time on the trip. The only negative was there were too many people on the ship.

I would highly recommend this tour. The naturalist was enthusiastic and had so much information while at the same time being quite funny. The captain did a great job piloting the boat around the whales to give them space but at the same time allowing the passengers to get a good look. There was also a respect for other tour boats out there. All of the tour boats communicated well and did not crowd each other.

Crew was very attentive and pleasant, all of them. Saw lots of whales too.

We felt very comfortable on the ship and enjoyed the hospitality of the crew. We also learned some facts about whales, turtles, dolphins, jellyfish and other aquatic wildlife. Both of my daughters and my wife were so happy with the experience.

I'm glad I read the prior reviews and bundled us up like we were on an Arctic expedition. You get pretty cold out there for sure. But the boat is great, the Guide was fabulous, and the views were just what we were hoping for. Lots of blue and humpback whales! I'm also glad I brought some binoculars. great stuff!
