a Promise Kept
Sat, Sep 26, 09   10:00 AM GailDear Female 60-69 Unspecified Unspecified
The cruise was terrific -- and your kept your promise by finding us whales to watch -- humpback whales. The captain also went out of his way to find a large group of dolphins to play in our bow-wave, which was wonderful to see. A perfect day -- thanks so much.

Great trip!

We had a giant blue whale rise within 50 feet of the boat. Much of its body and tail came completely out of the water. It must have been at least 80 feet long. We also followed a pair of humpbacks approx. 50 yards from the boat; unfortunately they were continuously moving away from the boat. These 35-40 foot long whales seemed small compared to the blue whale. Despite the cold weather and lots of fog, it was a great trip!

We saw a humpback after about 45 minutes. It did not come very close, but it didn't matter- to see it dive and the tail fluke come up was amazing! We were very fortunate to see 2 blue whales at the very end of our cruise, too! I would definitely recommend this to anyone- it was a unique and awesome experience! Do make sure you take Dramamine, though.

You must do this at least once in your life! i was very nervous but wanted to see the whales so bad! We had such a good time, we plan to do it again soon. This boat was the biggest in the harbor so I chose it in hopes of a smoother ride and boy was I glad! It was foggy and cold in the morning but I understand this is usually when the water is generally calmer. A little rough going out but soon calmed. Bundle up! The wind and the ocean spray are quite chilly! A warm jacket and something over your ears is well worth the investment. We saw two blue whales, quite rare, and several others. I am a nurse and recommend Meclizine for motion sickness before you board, just in case. No one got sick on our tour and everyone had a great time. Crew very knowledgeable and I felt very safe. The seating arrangement on this boat is also a plus as you can stand near the rail, sit down when tired or go inside if you get cold. This was certainly a highlight of our trip and we will be back!! Loved this tour! Also, booking with Zerve was new to me and it all went smoothly.

A great experience to see whales, dolphins & birds. We were lucky to see 2 types of whales and 2 schools of dolphins. It does get cold on the ship so dress in layers to stay warm. We all had an enjoyable trip and learned alot about the whales, dolphins & birds that we saw.

Exciting, but also cold, wet, and choppy
Wed, Sep 23, 09   9:00 AM Sheriff Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
So much fun when we were sighting dolphins and whales. Absolutely thrilling. But the morning was overcast and foggy, weather was windy, and the seas were choppy. Everyone on board was very excited when sightings were made, but there were times when a fair number of passengers were in the cabin trying to get out of the wind or napping. Would I go again? Absolutely!

Successful Whale Watch
Sat, Sep 19, 09   12:00 PM aevans05 Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
The whale watch so much fun! It's a long boat ride out to find them but as soon as you see the first burst from the whales come up from the water it's breathtaking! It's amazing to see these beautiful creatures up close! Besides getting very sea sick, this activity was very enjoyable!

Wonderful Experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our whale watching cruise on the Princess Monterey. Before we boarded the boat our captain gave us a short description of what to expect. He was very knowledgeable, and his running commentary during the trip was quite entertaining and informative. When we reached the area where the whales were, he would tell us where to look for them, and he actually would maneuver the boat around so that we could get a better look. The gentleman who stayed with us passengers (I think his name is Monty) was very nice, and he took special care with one of the passengers who became a little queasy. All in all it was a pleasant afternoon out on the water and I highly recommend a whale watching cruise on this boat to anybody. It was well worth the money, and I can't wait to do it again.

Worth Every Penny!

We were extremely impressed with the whale excersion - it was almost as if the whales were ready for us and began their performance upon our arrival. We were lucky enough to spot a Mom and Calf pair that could not have impressed us more! I was hoping for a little bit more information about the habits of the whales but the captain seemed every bit as excited as we did with every whale spotting. It would be awesome if the crew would take the time to interact with the customers on deck to ensure that they are getting the most out of their experience. I just wanted to know more about the habits of the Humpback Whales! Overall, it was a great experience and I would do it again!

It was a good experience. The boat was clean. We only saw one whale, a humpback. Wish we would have seen more, but there is no guarantee to seeing anything. Every day is different.
