Not worth the effort!
Mon, Oct 26  10:00 AM Lorrainesue Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified
The trip we went on was on October 25, 2009 and because the seas were so rough, some passengers got seasick. I know that seasickness doesn't happen to all but a warning should be posted BEFORE boarding that the seas are rough so that patrons can decide whether to go or not. I think that the captains of the boats know when the seas are rough (I would hope the captains hired are experienced enough to know the sea) and should think of the passengers' well being before setting sail. By the way, we saw one whale at the tail end of the trip (3 hours of agony) and it was so far away because of the sea swells, that I can't really call the experience "whale watching." Think before you reserve your seat(s) on this one!

Whale Watching

A very good trip out to see whales in October 2009. We saw blue whales, the captain spent a lot of time tracking the whales and we felt that we had good value for money on the trip.

The cruise was well worth it. We seen 2 humpback whales and 2 blue whales. The Captain was very informative regarding the whales. Something my family and I will remember for ever!

We went out on the hottest day of the year--99 degrees in Santa Cruz--so we were in t shirts without jackets the whole time! Sea was calmish, whales were plentiful, and guide was helpful and fun. Highly recommend this operation--we had a great time!

Disappointed….
Thu, Aug 13  10:00 AM josephMac Male Unspecified Local Family Without Children
We were Disappointed…. its seems 90% of the time the boat is traveling.... and very little time to see the whales.... Plus the whales were so far from the boat... it was hard to see... They should take down the video they have at the office.. its show whales right next to the boat.... when you see that you have high expectations... But later you will be Disappointed….

Last Minute Time Change
Wed, Aug 12  1:30 PM Stephenblair Female Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We enjoyed the cruise, but were informed less than 3 hours before our 3 p.m. cruise that we had to come at 1:30 or 4:30 p.m. Fortunately, we were reached by my cell phone and we were able to change our plans. The marine biologist was good, but she could have been more specific re: where the whales, etc. were. Also, our cruise was under 2 1/2 hours, so it should have lasted longer.

We thoroughly enjoyed the whale watch, even though it was so cold...Got to see a lot of whales, and a whole lot more. Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

I love whale watching

So far I have seen whales on all 3 whale watching excursions I have been on out of Monterey. I know it is not guaranteed, so I guess I am lucky to have experienced a whale sighting every time. It's such an interesting and fun experience, I highly recommend everyone try it at least once.

Was a foggy ride out of the bay but it cleared up and we saw multiple dolphins and two humpbacks. Nice crew and great info given on the tour. It was my first time whale watching and I enjoyed it very much. So from a first time visitor, I would recommend this company to anyone undecided.

The experience was top notch!
Tue, Apr 21  10:00 AM LFlory09 Unspecified Unspecified International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The Princess Monterey is a beautiful ship. Clean and the Captain and crew were great! We managed to see several pods of Killer Whales, it was very exciting. The journey out to the viewing area was pleasant and great views of the shoreline. The ship departed on time and returned when promised. The ocean was relatively calm, so it made for a smooth comfortable ride. You will find all the amenities on the ship from a cabin inside, if it is too breezy, to a canteen as well as men's and ladies washrooms. Overall is was a top notch experience and we would definitely do it again!

I was very impressed with the enthusiasm of our guide who kept the entire group very engaged. To see the Humpbacks as close as we did, exceeded my expectations!!

Fun trip

We saw 50 dolphins all hanging out and a couple of blue whales. Perfect trip. Although, I didn't need to buy advance tickets. Lots of options at the wharf. I doubt they sell ou that fast

Always fun to see...
Sun, Dec 28, 08   9:00 AM WendyGoodman Unspecified Unspecified Local Family Without Children
There are so many variables with whale watching; the weather, the time of year for migrations, and remembering warm gear. We were happily surprised by the great weather, we were pleased we remembered our gloves and hats, and while we did see several whales at a distance, we wished we could have seen more, but it was early in the season.

This was a great trip, good value for money, and alot of fun. We saw quite a few whales and alot of dolphins. The crew were friendly and helpful. A couple of things to bear in mind ; It was very cold even though it was unbelievably warm on the shore) so dress warm, and although we turned up half an hour in advance, there really was no need for that, and we ended up literally just standing there waiting. I think 15 mins early would be more reasonable.
