| My family was thrilled to see the whales and other wildlife. I would like to compare with one of the other trips that offers naturalists as guides. I'm not sure it would have been significantly better.
The crew was helpful and courteous. It was an exciting day. |

| We booked a 1pm whale watching trip. We expected the boat to leave on time (as advertise) but it never did until an hour later (2pm). We were not informed by any representative from Randy to say that the trip will be delay. The lack of communication and the late departure definitely represents a very poor commitment in promoting and enhancing tourism!!!! I would suggest you checking out "Princess Monterey Whale Watching" first as their boat left the harbour on time (while we are still at the dock!!) if you are planning whale watching. The whale watching is ok and the captain of the boat was pretty good in explaining the Monterey Bay wildlife and whale facts. |

| Whale watching trip sets sale from Fisherman's Wharf so there's lots to do before and after. Tour was on time and crew was courteous and knowledgable. They worked hard to ensure we did see whales at several locations. Also saw dolfins ridings the waves.
Note that you're a couple of miles out in open sea. The wind picked up and the seas got pretty rough. Several passengers got mild sea-sick. Recommend that you take meds before leaving if prone to motion sickness.
Overall an enjoyable experience. Recommend to anyone who loves to boat as well as view nature. |

| Our initial booking date had to be cancelled due to weather conditions. I received a call from their reservation agent explaining and offering to reschedule and accomodate our group. Their tour did not run on the day that we needed, so they arranged for us to go with another group. |

| We had a wonderful time. Small group and great guide. Randy's Whale Watching did a nice job of providing information and kept us out as long as possible to find and view the whales. They kept a respectful distance from the whales. My grandson got seasick and our guide was very nice to him and kept talking to him to get his mind off the sea sickness. Fun time. |

| Although my trip left 30 minutes late I had a pretty good time. The trip lasted a little longer than expected and we went further out into the ocean than expected too. As far as the whales, we saw some of them but they were not doing anything spectacular. That is not Randy's fault thow. Overall the crew was pretty knowledgeable and were friendly. |

| It has been a dream of mine to see whales out in their own enviornment for a very long time. While planning a trip through California for our family I decided that we would take a whale watching tour. We had many miles to cover during the spring break and had to cut corners wherever possible to afford everything we wanted to do. I found the ad for Randy's online and the prices were very reasonable. We were so happy with this company and the crew who took us out. We felt that we more than got our money's worth and had the luck of seeing several orcas including new parents and their baby. We were all thrilled with the way the captain kept trying to give us a better view of the whales and also he didn't seem to scrimp for time at all, giving us ample time to get plenty of pictures and video. Our family was extremely pleased with the whole experience and very happy that we chose this company. I would recommend them highly. Thank You Very Much!! |

| I'm so glad we chose Randy's company for whale watching. I was impressed by their excellent website. They were friendly, professional, efficient. Their office and boat were neat and clean. They made us feel that it was genuinely important to them that we have a good experience. We didn't feel rushed. They educated us about whale behavior. And we saw whales! |

| Randy's whale watching was awesome! We saw several whales and were close enough to get a great view and great photos! The guide on our boat was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable on the subject and answered any questions we had. We saw other whale watching boats out at the same time but doubt they had the personal touch and views that we did. Would definately recommend this trip to anyone! |
