The gal who narrated our tour /cruise was AWESOME. She was very funny, entertaining and informative! Make sure you dress warmly as they suggest and where sunblock! My sister's face got sunburned! Great experience!

Froze to Death

We went on May 11 and couldn't believe how cold it was. I don't think it was unusual. 3 hour trip to see a couple of glimpses of the tail. Boat was old and very rocky - some people got seasick. In the summer it would probably be a lot better - but we'd never go again.

Enjoyed my day on the waves

The tour seemed well organised and the captain was knowledgable about whales and the area. The crew member was polite and helpful. The only shame for us was that we only got a couple of glimses of whales - although I'm aware this is due to the time of year we went (and luck!).

Good.

Other than all the sea sickness, the whales were incredible. It would be nice if Benji would not always point the bow to the whales so that all of us could photo the whales not just the people in the front of the boat.

Great Information!
Sat, May 5, 07   1:30 PM jarcilla Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
We did see whales, which were amazing! Although is was kind of hard to see the whales and try to guess where they were headed next, we did see humpbacks and orcas come up for air. It was a very informative trip. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knew who stuff about the whale, birds and other marine life. The guys wandering the deck were especially attentive to those who had motion sickness. I would highly recommend it to others!

Nice trip - Great Crew

It was a very bumpy day with LOTS of folks getting sea sick. Wonder if that was unusual or normal for the Monterey Bay area. Would go again if that is not the norm.

first whale watching: wonderful experience
Fri, May 4, 07   10:00 AM abrueckner Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
This was our first whale watching event for me, my husband, and our 3 1/2 year old daughter. We thoroughly enjoyed it!! We knew, from a close friend, that taking such a trip is very worthwhile -- but only until you experience it, can you fully understand. The water was perfect that day -- calm, so the boat wasn't moving so hard -- and we saw quite a few whales. The route we took was beautiful... along the coast and even out a bit further at one point. I am partial to water, so I thoroughly loved simply being in the wind, with the water, and watching everything around me. Sooooo lovely! My daughter totally enjoyed the trip!!! She had a smile on her face the entire trip. :-)

Excellent tour!

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Monterey for the first time or for someone just out to see nature in it's awesome slendor! We saw 7 humpback whales! The biologist who was our guide did a wonderful job and answered all of the passengers questions with enthusiasm - you could tell she really enjoyed her career! She was the most enthusiastic guide we have ever encountered on a guided tour. A wonderful adventure!

Amazing Trip!!!!
Sun, Apr 29, 07   10:00 AM sixthavexp Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We had an amazing time out on the Bay. We saw 7 Humpback Whales within very close range to the boat. We got many tail views also. We even smelt one's breath! We also saw the seels and a huge sunfish. It was amazing and our host was awesome. She told us about everything since she was a marine biologist. She was extremely enthusiastic and made the trip an experience. I can't wait to go again!

they tried
Sat, Apr 28, 07   4:00 PM vlad4165 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
They tried really hard, handled boat well. The fog came in and we could not really see anything. In spite of that briefly saw two humpbacks. Definitely heed the instructions about clothing. We rode a motorcycle in and had heavy leather jackets, gloves, etc. and still froze. The Pacific is beautiful, but cold! Don't be the guy in a t-shirt, hiding in the lounge!

Good, but more warning needed for some people
Sat, Apr 28, 07   4:00 PM jaufder Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We were able to see 2 Humpback whales on our cruise, which was great considering the lack of visibility. If I were to make any suggestions it would be that the operators of the cruise warn people that are about to board the ship of two things: 1/ Although it may be shorts and t-shirt weather on the wharf, miles out at sea it's probably a different story. People should be warned against their ignorance about this issue and they should be instructed to come again when they have a jacket. I saw some very cold and miserable people on the cruise. 2/ Guests were basically told that if they had to vomit to do it off the back of the boat. I think some basic instruction on how not to get sick in the first place might be warranted.....like, don't hang out in the cabin of the boat--stay on deck!! However, #1 above may have had something to do with why people were in the cabin. So, my review is really for other people--i myself did not get sick because I knew what to do, and what not to do. -jon

Thrilling and exciting experience
Sat, Apr 21, 07   10:00 AM renubidalia Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
It was thrilling to watch huge whales go up and down the water, some times in pairs. 1 hr ride deep into the sea itself was very exciting.

excellent, wonderful and worth twice the price

It was and over cast day , the waters were fairly calm. Our trip had been cancelled the day before due to high winds and rougher waters, They rescheduled us to the following morning, nice and easy. So, we go out and get to see all the seals and sea lions up close . what was really cool was the randomly, floating, sleeping otter. Then we get a little farther out and we start seeing the spouting water and we get a little closer and their they are, beautiful, huge, big hump back Whales!!!!! We saw 20 or so that day, in pods of about 5 or 6. Picture perfect absolutely gorgeous. Hope to do it again someday, Thank You Also, The crew, the owner, and especially the commentater on the trip were all amazing and very informative. It was myself and my fifteen year old son on the trip and it was our hilite of Monterey. Annette and Dylan, Carbondale, Colorado.
