Fun was had on the choppy waters of Monterey.

My Husband and I were celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. Although we had fun, slightly dissapointed due to not seeing the Whale...only a spout of water was seen. Understandability, there are no guarantees and we had a good time except for all those who got seasick. Please due to choppy waters take something for motion sickness. I would totally do it again, crew was excellent and tour very informative.

Alot of people on boat and didn't mind being in the back of boat actually we saw more marine life on our own. A moon jelly and a dolphin that nobody else saw on our tour. We could hear the person talking about the humpback whale behavior despite being in the back of boat where the motor runs.

Thank you so much for a great trip. I haven't been whale watching since I was three and was living in Santa Barbara. I wasn't sure what to expect on the trip, but once we were out on the water, it was amazing. I didn't realize such a large body of water could make a person feel so small and then seeing those magnificent creates definitely put things in perspective for me. The tour guide did a great job. His timing was really good on when the whales would come up and how long they would go back down for. I definitely want to come back during the spring. Thanks again for a great experience I'll never forget!

Worth the money

This is well worth the money. A humpback whale surfaced approximately 30 feet from our boat. Awesome. Even if you do not see any whales, the boat ride is worth it; and you will definitely see some sea life: i.e., dolphins, jellyfish, birds, sea lions, etc. Highly recommend it.

My husband and I went as part of celebrating our anniversary and I'm so glad we did. The marine biologist on the trip, i think her name was Kathy was so amazing! She made the trip a lot of fun and gave a ton of information. On our trip we saw two pods of orcas and they were jumping and playing and it was amazing to watch!!! The rest of the team on board was incredibly nice as well. There were a few people who got sea sick, but the staff made it a point to provide napkins and talk to them and make it not so awkward the were sick. It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to going again.

Family Whale Watching

Our departure was a little late, around 10:15. The company was selling tickets up until that time. We had an enthusiastic naturalist who narrated the trip and pointed out where we could see the sealife. The crew was attentive to individual needs and safety. We were able to see evidence of two humpback whales, a sunfish, two sharks, various dolphins, and a few jellyfish. The trip may be too long for small children. There was ample seating inside for those who didn't feel up to hanging on to the outer deck. At times, the bobbing of the boat was rough, depending on the speed and wave action.

Nice whale-watching tour
Tue, Oct 4, 11   10:00 AM superpallo Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
On our tour we saw killer whales and humpback whales, which was nice, along with dolphins and seals. They also stretched the duration of the tour a little while we were "chasing" a whale. The customer service was also great both before the trip as well as during it. The only minus is that it takes one hour to get to the scene where the whales are seen and one hour to get back, which after a while gets a bit boring (but isn't obviously their fault). One of us also got a bit seasick; one of the crew was making rounds asking the folk if they were feeling okay, and then helping if needed. Also, they are really not kidding when they recommend warm clothes for the trip!

Loved the trip. It was fun to see the whales. The deck hand was so nice. It took awhile to see the whales but they are wild animals. Can't wait to do another one in the future.

We had a great day with a very enthusiastic tour guide who was very knowledegable in her field. We were hitting some rollers and a member of the crew was around the ship making sure everyone was feeling okay. We saw many sea lions, dolphins, killer whales and a humpback. A great Watch!
