| What a day! We saw 30+ whales. We would recommend to anyone. Not too crowded, educational, fun. I wouldn't go anywhere else! | ||||||

| Saw plenty of whales: boat was not crowded. I was disappointed when we came in a half an hour early. The web sight makes it sound like, if any thing, you come in late but we were on the dock at 12:30. It was what I consider an epic day for January: the water was flat, air temp was near 70, whales a plenty right off Point Pinos, very rare in January. We usually have the whales but not the conditions. I would have liked the full time. | ||||||

Don't do it! Go with another carrier.

| I was excited about the trip. We got there early to make sure we were in the right place as i ordered the tickets online. We were barely welcomed by a women who didn't put down her smoke. She handed us 2 passes and told us to go and wait in the Princess line. I hadn't signed up for Princess because I had wanted to go with Randy's for a number of reasons. Basically since they didn't sell enough tickets, they bought Princess tickets for us (which cost less) and sent us over there so they wouldn't have to deal with us. I found it to be totally a scam. We enjoyed our trip with the other carrier, but lost money because of the sequence of events. | ||||||

Only one small whale - but great day nonetheless

| We went out on a winter afternoon (late December) - the crew members were friendly and seemed very competent. There were just not many whales out in the bay that day - certainly not the fault of the tour operator - but we did manage to find a couple huge groups of dolphins and that was wonderful. All in all, it was a very enjoyable day - even though we didn't get to see the whales. We'll try again in the future! | ||||||

| We went in a group and it was our first time on a boat. There weren't a lot of people so we had space to move around. The actual whale watching experience was so-so. The whales took a while to surface the top and I saw mostly the tails and blowholes. However we saw a lot of seals, dolphins and jellyfish and that was pretty cool even in cold wheather. The captain gave us some information on the animals and only when we saw them. He didn't say much throughout the trip so it wasn't all that educational but we weren't looking for that so it was okay for us. | ||||||

| It was truly an amazing trip! We saw a few humpback whales... and so close that you can look into their blowhole (not exaggerating). You might want to stay back -- the spray does NOT exactly smell like fresh flowers!) This trip was truly wonderful and unforgettable. My wife and I really enjoyed it! | ||||||

| Awesome. Whales came right up to the boat, swam next to and under the boat. It was like everyone was five years old again, "Look, look! There's one" "Oh, this one's looking at me!" Lots of fun, better than Discovery channel! Also saw seals, otters and jellyfish. | ||||||

Narration???
|

| The trip, chosen because it was economical, was not what I'd call a narrated trip. When we started out, we were told that we would be arriving to the whale viewing area in approximately 45 minutes. During that time, there was no narration. Once we arrived at the whale viewing area, there was still no narration. The students I brought along (from my 5th grade class) had no idea what type of whale was being seen. We were there while we watched the 2 whales, who were super-close to the boat, but we heard nothing from the crew. Then as we came back to shore, as we pulled back into Monterey, we heard, "Over on your left is a sea lion." Honestly, that's all we got. Other negatives: The skipper smoked during the trip, and as we were standing near the crew area, it was bothersome. Yes, we could have moved, which we eventually did, but on a boat so small, we were limited as to where we could go. Additionally, for a 3+ hour trip, there were nowhere nearly enough seats to go around. If you got up, your seat was gone. Yes, we left on time and yes, we did see whales, but it was not educational, comfortable or informative. I would definitely try another operator next time. | ||||||

Know your tackle!

| For the most part, my husband and I enjoyed our trip. We saw that mostly everyone caught many fish. I would like to suggest that a list or notice of what tackle works best for the area. We are river fishermen and came out with too light of tackle and no guidance on what was the popular lure for sucess. We did catch a dozen or so fish so we had fun but would have done so much better had the experts advised us. At least regarding a min. sinker weight! | ||||||

Exciting Professional Fishing Trip

| The process to arrange the fishing trip was very efficient and professional. Randy's establishment was clean and easy to access. The Captain did a good job in finding the schools of fish and the Mate did a fabulous job in assisting the fisher-men and -women. Be sure to tip the Mate good! | ||||||

| It was our daughters birthday and the crew went out of their way to make her feel special. The skipper was patient and determined to help us see as many whales as possible. Crew members were knowledgable and entertaining. I highly recommend Randy's Whale Watching trip for any interested in this type of adventure. | ||||||

| This trip was for my stepfather. He was sick with food poisoning the night before and couldn't make the trip. We understand that we can't get a refund but wish we could reschedule for another trip without paying. | ||||||
