It was fun and amazing!!
Mon, Mar 31, 08   9:30 AM raleemanny Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We had an opportunity to go out on a nice sunny day, although the swells were quite high. We spotted many whales and our boat captain took us as close as was permitted. He was very good in directing us to where to look and also steered the boat in the direction of the whales allowing us to take good photos. It was a very enjoyable trip.

An unforgettable activity for the whole family
Fri, Mar 28, 08   9:30 AM Elisagarcia Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We had read good reviews about Randy's and found out all of them were true. The crew and captain were experienced and courteous. They are the first ones to leave the dock. We got to see four whales all together when we got there before other boats started arriving. On our way we saw otters eating too. My family included a tween, a baby and grandma too. Everybody had a great time. It was exciting without anyone getting sea sick. That day was sunny and the sea was calm. I would recommend preventing anything by taking dramamine since you never know how the weather and sea will be. And that is true for any family on a boat. The experience was a great one for our family and Randy's the best choice in our whole trip.

Truly wonderful experience
Tue, Mar 25, 08   9:30 AM ChardM Male 60-69 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Randy's whale watching was a thoroughly professional outfit which delivered on its promise. Seeing the humpbacks in their Monterey Bay habitat was an awesome experience which I am glad not to have missed. Truly beautiful creatures with the best view of them provided, while keeping a respectful distance.

Great day on the Bay!
Tue, Mar 25, 08   9:30 AM jamienelson Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We had a pleasant ride out through fog into a clear blue sky and (mostly) flat water. We saw four humpbacks and had a thoroughly fun adventure. Randy's team (esp. the friendly deckhand) were first rate. I heartily recommend this boat.

Enjoyed the Day.

I felt the captain did all he could to find us whales, which he did. Of course we wanted to be closer but they respect the whales need to not be harassed. I would go with Randy's again.

Defintely Worth The Experience
Sat, Mar 22, 08   1:30 PM dgonzales257 Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This was a very fun and informative trip for my girlfriend and I. Make sure to dress warm though! and don't hang out on the side of the boat if you want to stay dry! We saw plenty of humpback whales though and they actually came up about 20 feet away from the boat! Very exciting event, but there were a lot of younger kids on our trip, which made it hard to see with them moving around all the time.

Saw five humpback whales
Sat, Mar 22, 08   1:30 PM BillyO Male 50-59 Local Family Without Children
We were out in Monterey Bay for almost three hours. We saw humpback whales in two different spots. Two at the first spotting and three at the second. We watched each group for about 25 minutes. The crew did a good job finding and staying with the whales. The cost was reasonable. We have lived in the area for 34 years and this was the first time we have gone out whale watching. We should have done this when our kids were at home.

Excellent trip
Fri, Mar 21, 08   9:30 AM Surhid Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The trip was excellent and the guy operating the boat was quite knowledgable. We all enjoyed the trip. The only complain, if any, is the price. When we reached the destination we found that all the operators were offering the same trip for about $22 for adults and less for kids while we ended up paying $30/person plus the processing fee.

Not what we paid for but still fun
Sun, Mar 9, 08   9:30 AM acrimmins Female 20-29 Local Family Without Children
I was very disappointed with Randy's fishing trips this time around. The first time I went on this whale watching trip with them, I had a fantastic time. Its a small boat, we got close to the whales, it was peaceful and serene. There was no elbowing for space on the boat and everyone could see easily. But this time, since my group of four were the only people scheduled for the trip, they shoved us onto another whale watching boat. I was very upset by this. The people at Randy's said "its the same experience", then herded us towards a huge boat with 50 people on it, including many many children, and with a campy naturalist screaming over a loudspeaker the entire time. That was not the same experience and not what I paid for. The boat ride was fun and I was glad to see whales, but we were far away, elbowing for room, standing on our toes trying to catch a glimpse between all the people's heads while keeping our balance, and covering our ears to drown out the loud speaker. I think this trip was perfect for people with kids, older people, or anyone who thinks they will need seats, a toilet, or snacks while on the boat. But I was looking for a smaller, quieter, less tourist-y experience and felt like my group had been shoved off as an inconvenience by Randy's.

I've already recommended it to friends
Thu, Feb 21, 08   1:30 PM dbrazie Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
I was very pleased with our trip. The captain of the boat was awesome. He explained things in great detail. My children ages 4 & 5 loved the trip. Prices were very reasonable. I am so looking forward to my next trip which will be within the next month. Keep up the great job. Absolutely wonderful. Dana Brazie

Lots of fun

We had a good time. Make sure to dress warm though. I can be very cold in the winter time. We saw gray whales, otters, seal lions, seals, and jellyfish. It was very cool.

Whale Watching
Mon, Feb 18, 08   9:30 AM lindadavidso Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I have been on 3 whale watching adventures prior to this trip. Randy's has been the only one I have actually seen whale's on. I also found it interesting that Randy's boat was the first one out of the dock's and when the other whale watching companies came out, they immediately came to where Randy's was located. Randy's was also following and getting closer to the whales than all the other boats. He also stayed longer than the other boats. The first boat out and the last one back. Also, the least crowded. Randy's was recommended to me, and I strongly recommend them also.

Wonderful Whale Watching with Randys
Sun, Feb 17, 08   1:30 PM dlieby Male 60-69 Combination Family With Children
Our family, including grandchildren, had a wonderful time going out on the whale watching trip. It was three hours and we saw a lot of sea life. From seal pups to dolphins to jelly fish to whales. It was great! Dress really warm and you will have a good time.
