Whale Watching Trip on Monterey Bay

In the top 5 most profound experiences of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But,the crew informs me an incounter of the kind we experienced happens maybe 5% of the time...LOVED IT

Saw lots of whales....:) The cruise members were informative... Saw 2 different kind of whales.. Had a very good experience.

I recommend this trip to everybody. Seeing the whales, sea lions, jelly fishes is such an amazing and overwhelming experience. I suggest to bundle up cause it tends to be really cold in the ocean and take motion sickness med before the trip. It's a 4 hour trip so take your breakfast too.

I've been a local forever, but never took the time to do this - it's a MUST for everyone! (maybe not very young children, though). My (grown) kids and I had a great time even though it was a little rough and windy/cold out there - wear layers!!! We were in the bow where it felt like a roller coaster - fun for us! - but there was a lot of barfing going on in the stern - don't forget your Dramamine if you tend to get motion sick. The Humpbacks feeding so close are awesome - could have been a better day as far as variety, but what we saw was great - well worth the time & expense!!!

We went out on a Sunday afternoon on a very choppy ocean and saw about five whales. The crew was very knowledgeable and friendly. You could tell the crew enjoyed their jobs and that is a rare find nowadays!

the cabin where children can take a break from the cold wind was full of smoke and grease smell after the crew cooked meat and bacon there to sell lunch. my 5-year-old son got sick within a minute after he entered the cabin. one of the crew gave a very unfriendly look and scolded my son when he threw up.

Well planned professional trip with naturalist on board ... we had great views of the whales and apart from the cool weather it was all good. Wear warm clothes. This is highly recommended. Good value for money and shows Monterey Bay wildlife to its best.

Our group consisted of myself, my husband, my 26 year old daughter and my developmentally disabled 54 year old brother. We took the trip because my brother was visiting from Michigan. I was hopeful that we would see whales, but I know that sometimes it doesn't happen. We saw many whales, and even had one breach three times right next to the boat! It was truly amazing! I have been whale watching many times in Hawaii, and I was surprised how exciting the whale watching was right in my front yard! I would recommend the tour to anyone. Make sure you dress for the cold

Went out a ways (8-10 miles), then saw a cow/calf pair which we followed for a bit. They eventually breached for the boat at close range, which was a real treat. Whales were all around us, you could see 10-12 spouts off in the distance so they were in the right area. Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful and courteous, boat was not luxurious but we were there to see whales, not be pampered. My son was excited to see these beautiful creatures so close.

Tour guide was very enthusiatic and took time to explain what we were seeing. Excellent day with multiple whales
