Saw about 30 whales and a few dolphins

I really enjoyed the trip. The Captain took us right out to where the whales were and always slowed down so we could get some good photos. I also was glad that we had a Marine Biologist on board who could tell us a lot about the whales and answer questions. It was just myself and a friend. We have both been on other whale watching tours and I thought this was one of the best. fair price, enjoyable trip.

I had SO much fun going on this trip! It is one of the most memorable birthdays I know I will ever have! The staff on the Princess Monterey were very friendly, knowledgable and enthusiastic. They took their time to come around to everyone on the boat to answer everyones individual questions. Anyone who asks me what there is to do for fun I will no DOUBT say "Go whale watching on the Princess Monterey in Monterey Bay!!" Thank you SOO much for a GREAT birthday! Sincerely, Andrea McFarland

Wonderful Trip

Thoroughly enjoyed our Princess Monterey Whale Watching Trip! The captain and the crew were courteous and friendly. The whales and hundreds of dolphins we saw was something we won't soon forget. Highly recommend this trip. The vessel is very accommodating with an indoor cabin area if things get a little chilly and there is plenty of deck space to move around on to catch views of all the wildlife you will see.

Sighted whales but never got quite close enough to view well. but the school of dolphins we trailed was worth it.

Gray Whales in January
Tue, Jan 20, 09   10:00 AM dowercarla Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
I have taken this tour twice before to see Humpbacks in late spring. Those whales are more entertaining than the ones this time of the year as they jump out of the water & you can see more of the whales. We did see at least 25+ whales on this trip so that was exciting too.

A most wonderfull day!
Mon, Jan 19, 09   1:30 PM dalita Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
My 13 year old daughter had a day off from school and I decided to take her whale watching. It turned out to be the most beautiful day! We were worried about feeling sea sick and bought "sea bands" and ginger gum, but ended up not needing anything. The ride was very smooth, the ocean was the bluest blue and the best part... we saw about 40 whales! Anywhere we looked, were spouts! The biologist on board was very friendly and her excitment was infectious. She kept us well informed, but did not keep talking the whole time, giving us a chance to also experience being out in the ocean surrounded by the sound of the waves... Oh, it was magical!

Best Day Ever
Mon, Jan 19, 09   10:00 AM 4mistylou Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
It was a beautiful day and we saw probably between 30-40 whales. Our marine biologist was absolutely the very best. Her humor along with her extensive knowledge in the field made the whole trip. This is a trip I would recommend for the whole family - I will be bringing my grandchildren next time. There might be other tours, but between the very clean boat, the size, which I feel helped reduce the possiblity of seasickness, and the fact that there was a warm place to go if it had gotten cold, together makes this the very best. I can't wait to go again in the fall to see the Humpbacks and Blue whales. .

The trip was perfect, the staff knowledgeable, and the weather was breathtaking. They were respectful of the whales space and at the same time working to give us the best views possible. The perfect balance. We loved every moment of it and the events of the trip have been lingering in our conversation for days.

A Fantastic Day
Sun, Jan 18, 09   1:30 PM DebraOrtiz Female 50-59 Local Family With Children
We were lucky to have such great weather in January. The ocean was calm and the sun was warm. The grandkids and I decided to take a boat ride and go whale watching that day. We saw at least 30 grey whales, spouting, diving and flipping their tales at us. The whales were so graceful and awesome to see. As the boat headed back to shore, a school of at least 2 dozen dolphiins accompanied the boat back. They were beautiful and very peaceful in spirit. I highly recommend taking this trip. It is well worth the price. The staff was knowledgeable and informative. We learned about the ocean life in the Monterey bay and the habits of the whales. After the boat ride we enjoyed clam chowder at the Monterey Wharf and a walk on the beach. You couldn't ask for a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We all went home with smiles on our faces.

Wonderful Whale Watching
Sun, Jan 18, 09   1:30 PM pbascomb Female 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
We had such a wonderful time on the beautiful Monterey Bay. The Princess people were courteous. The guide was knowledgeable and fun. We saw a lot of whales, though unfortunately none up close, and even some dolphins, who swam right next to the boat. The boat sailed smoothly. I didn't even get seasick, thanks to the Ginger candies and the Dramamine!

Princess Monterey Whale Watching
Sun, Jan 18, 09   12:00 PM conniem13 Female 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
The whale watching excursion was better than we had imagine. We saw well over 30 whales and the narrative from the naturalist on board made the experience even more worthwhile. We purchased our tickets early through Zerve and we didn't have to wait in line or try to choose another time.

Great Fun!
Sun, Jan 18, 09   12:00 PM hshermanster Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
I decided to take my boyfriend on a trip to Monterey for the weekend. I knew he loved the aquarium so I thought a whale watch would be a nice surprise for him, and boy was I right! He absolutely loved it! I've never seen him get so excited as when we started spotting whales. YEAH that's right we actually spotted some! Not only that but we got pretty close! I've been on other whale watches and I've never been this close before. It was great! We had a wonderful time and the crew was fantastic. Very informative. I'm not sure if this is normal or we just got lucky, but we had a pretty small tour group, so there was plenty of room, not like the other cruises where 300 people are packed onto a tiny vessel and no one can see. I highly recommend this to everyone. It's a great way to spend an afternoon :)

Less of Whale watching ; more of hype
Sun, Jan 18, 09   10:00 AM UshaJastySas Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
I would like to see if they can coordinate a much closer views of the whales. Our announcer was loud. Next time, we would pick a smaller boat for the experience.

Beautiful Weather, Veteran Staff
Sun, Jan 18, 09   10:00 AM vmanasseroma Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
The weather, the multitude of sea life and veteran staff made this journey absolutely wonderful. We saw many, many whales, a very active small pod of dolphin, jellies, aquatic birds, and sea lions. The naturalist was both fun and informative. The captain did everything in his power to help us see as many things as we could. Moving the boat constantly to keep us in the line of sight. We had a fabulous trip!
