Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruises

I had never thought, but is it like a film. The dolphins play and swim with the boat around the bet. I did not believe that we see wahle, but we saw swveral. I was enthusiastic.

They aren't kidding when they say wear winter clothes... it was freezing and it was June! I should have dug out the kids' winter hats and gloves. Very foggy - apparently that is common in the summer. Because of the fog it was difficult to see whale spouts, thus we couldn't find the whales.... big bummer! But we got a rain check, which was cool. And we saw dolphins and sea lions. Apparently the fog is common in summer months, and fall is a better time to see whales. Clean boat, easy check-in, and friendly staff!

The Cruise was outstanding, from the moment we arrived to Andy and AJ on the boat to seeing all the whales that we did. This is a top notch operation that we will definetly recomend to our friends and anyone else that asks. Thanks for a great time, my entire family enjoyed this excursion.

We expected cruise people be able to judge the weather and possibility to find whales before we leave the land. Spending 2 hrs in wawy waters wasn't a great pleasure. We did get a rain check... will look for somebody who wants to use it.

Although I didn't actually see a whale, only a fountain several times, I did see some other seeanimals which was exciting too. The crew was very enthousiastic en seemed proffesional. Being on the ocean with nice wheater was also a nice feeling.

Great concept and of course I understand that there can never be any guarantee of whale sightings, but I was left feeling a bit flat from the lack of commentary on the trip. 10 minutes into the trip there was a sighting of dolphins, but after that we just headed out and then back again (3hrs in total) with no further commentary after the dolphins, no explanation of why we were looking in that particular area, no information on the whales we were looking for and no comments on the likelihood of finding any whales. With a marine biologist on board I was expecting a more informative trip. I'd do it again, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too high beforehand.

Went Whale watching a year earlier on a much smaller vessel. We were able to get up close and see the Whales just feet off the side of the boat. This vessel was far to big to get close to the animals without scaring them off.

This was well worth it.

The crew were friendly and informative. It was a great trip. My husband and I went on another whale watching tour the next day with a different company and the other boat got much closer to the whales.

First and foremost this is a whale watching trip. It is very basic, the elements are cold, the water choppy and unsettling to many stomachs, but mission accomplished. The captain found 2 Humpback whales and we got to watch them for about 45 minutes during which time, the calf put on a great show breaching out of the water and rolling something like 30 times!! Very exciting. If I were going again, and I would, I would dress warmer. Gloves and hat are recommended; A warm, windproof coat is a must. Warm shoes and long pants are also a must. Also, if you have a quesy stomach, ask yourself if seeing whales is worth losing your lunch. 1/3 of our trip did lose their lunch. All in all, this trip was a thrill. I had never seen a whale up close, and live like that this, so mission accomplished! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

We had a Cinderella wedding, and when we found the 'Princess', we just had to go out on it. The experience was breathtaking. The tour guide was fabulous and quite energetic. She was VERY imformative and cued us when a 'tail' was about to appear for the pictures. We will definitely do this again.

We went out on a gray, cloudy day, sailing for what seemed forever. Finally saw two killer whales! I realize that we are dealing with wild animals who don't operate on schedule, but my daughter said it was too much time on the ocean--2 hours 40 minutes--just to see flippers wave!

This is my second year with this particular tour. They are fantastic. Each time we saw whales, dolphins, and it was wonderful. I highly recommend it.

Seeing the whales was the highlight of our trip. We saw about 5 whales and several dolphins. The whales even came right up to the boat. We have several amazing photos. Watching these huge humpbacks breach was awesome. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.

Although the water was very choppy and rough, I had a great time. We did see humpback whales and also a grey whale momma with her calf. Also saw tons of Pacific Whitesided Dolphins. This whale watching tour was the highlight of my trip to Monterey.
