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!

We had a great time. Didn't see any whales, but saw many dolphins. The boat ride itself was very enjoyable. The weather was cool, recommend hat or bini.

Pacific Explorer Whale Watching Cruise
Sun, Sep 13  12:00 PM aldbarnes Unspecified 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My husband and I really enjoyed our experience! Whale watching was always something I wanted to do but never was able to afford the opportunity or had the financial means to do so. Having just received a clear report that I was cancer free, my beloved husband surprised me with this life long dream. To be able to see a humpback whale and her calf was amazing. The gentleman at the front desk was very professional and nice and our guide was very knowledgeable. Thank you for such a wonderful day. We learned every outing is new and we can't wait to come back and have another adventure.

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!

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.

Great honeymoon trip

We had a Cinderella wedding, and when we found the 'Princess', we just had to go out on it. The experience was breathtaking. The tour guide was fabulous and quite energetic. She was VERY imformative and cued us when a 'tail' was about to appear for the pictures. We will definitely do this again.

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!

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!!

Always fun to see...

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.

Everyone in the group really enjoyed the time spent out on the water. The captain was very knowledgable, took us where the whales (2 of teh humpbacks) were playing. He followed close enough each time they went under.

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.

Staff was helpful, boat was nice. There weren't whales out at first but our hosts stuck with it until we found some and it was well worth it. Highly recommended!

Just the right length (3 hours) to see the whales and the dolphins. Well organized, enough information during the trip to better understand what we were looking at.

I was a little skepticle at first since I've only been on a motor boat. However, shortly after the cruise started I realized it was going to be fine. I couldn't believe how many dolphins we saw. It was awsome. The whales were amazing. I think I was a little more surprised at what I saw than my husband because he was in the navy and had seen many dolphins and whales before. Even he admitted though, that he would go on the cruise again. We had a great time. The people who run this cruise line do a great job. Our "guide" was very knowledgable. We highly recommend this to everyone.
