| Excellent trip - we were so close to the whales you could almost touch them. Nothing to fault unless - like me - you are prone to motion sickness. Then it can be a bit tough because the captain will follow and find those whales! | ||||||

| the group did a great job showing us whales ---- we got to see 2 humpbacks up close for almost an hour, and also a sun fish --- but for me sea sickness was a problem. this definitely wasn't the company's fault --- the seas were fairly choppy and there was just nothing they could do --- but it's worth being aware of before signing up to go whale watching | ||||||

HUMPBACK LUNCH MEETING
|

| Fri, Aug 27 10:00 AM | BrendaRiley | Female | 50-59 | Local | Group of Friends | |
| WOW ! It was a magical experience at sea. We saw several blue whales moving quickly and coming up for air. There were birds everywhere. They ate so much krill they had a problem taking off. We saw quite a few humpbacks. But the highlight of the trip was attending a lunch meeting with several humpbacks feasting on krill all around our boat. They did not seem to be bothered by our presence and came up close. I was overwhelmed by the experience of being up close and personal: ONE WITH THE WHALES. | ||||||

Good, rounded tour of the bay

| We definitely like this tour. Not only did they find whales, they also looked out for dolphins, otters, seals, and sea lions. It was great that right out of port, a small pod of bottlenose dolphins found the boat immediately and started riding the bow wave. I would go with this tour if you're looking for more than just whales. | ||||||

| We truly enjoyed our day on the bay watching the whales with stagnaro's. What a perfect day! First of all, we say a blue whale! i am thankful to the crew that they took their time for us to enjoy the scene. What a treat. Then on to see the humpback whales. and lots of them! Again, thank you for taking the time for us to enjoy them. I loved the noise they made when they totally surprised us when they came up right next to the boat, the spouts, the tales, even a group of whales going "sideways" to feed, together! ! That was even special to the crew, we all were so enthusiastic! I live in santa cruz , my friend used to live here,now in oregon, and we absolutely loved our whale watching with stagnaro's! i am telling all my friends to get tickets now. night as well take advantage of the abundance of the krill in the bay right now! another great thing,and so convenient, taking off from the s.c. harbor! thanks again, you will be seeing us again, ,for sure. sieta bel and ineke de ruyter | ||||||

| We had a wonderful afternoon. The staff was friendly and helpful. The boat spotless and in excellent condition. The captain knew the most probable areas to spot whales and treated them with great respect. We were thrilled and squealed like little girls as the friendly humpbacks came within feet of the boat by their own choosing...multiple times! It was like they were playing with us! We were delighted! | ||||||

| On time start-excellent Willing to make a trip a bit longer because we saw whales and went to get close-adaptable-excellent Warning about the possibility of being cold and the need to dress in layers was good information. The inside seats were taken up with backpacks and picnic baskets--any place else they could go. Difficult to get in out of the wind and have a place to sit. Having a naturalist on board rather than someone who gave a few facts would have been nice. Stress that anyone prone to seasickness should be prepared ahead of time with medication. | ||||||

So many whales...

| Crew on the Velocity is great and knows where the whales are. Started out from the harbor seeing Sea Otters and Sea Lions. On the way out to open waters, we saw dolphins, schools of jelly fish and then spotted our first whale - a Magnificent Blue Whale! After following it for a while, we moved on further out and came across a bunch of Humpback's that kept us busy on the other end of the shutter. Great pictures of flukes, mouth- fulls of krill and full body shots right next to our vessel. Lastly, got some good shots of a Black Footed Albutros. Would definintely whale watch again with this experienced crew. | ||||||

| Friendly, informative and helpful crew. Reasonably priced food and snacks on sale. We were lucky enough to see a Blue Whale and several Humpback Whales, the latter coming very close to the boat. In part this accounts for the five star rating we've given and this I guess could have been different, however I've told it as it was for us on the day. Would highly recommend this trip for any family with kids, this has been a highlight of our trip to California. | ||||||

Monterey Bay on Thursday, August 19,2010

| We recently moved to the area, so the cruise with our Chicago friends introduced us all to Whale Watching on Monterey Bay. The two crew members were extremely helpful and gave lots of great information. The sea was really rolling, so one of our party was slightly sea-sick. Aside from that and the thick marine layer, we loved the cruise. We were in the middle of several groups of humback whales and were amazed at the size of the animals. | ||||||

| We had an amazing excursion! The crew is friendly, highly skilled, and very knowledgable about marine life. We had multiple sightings of a variety of dolphin species as well as numerous humpback whales, including a friendly group that circled the boat for some time. I would highly recommend this group to anyone! We fully intend to book again when we return to the area!! | ||||||

| This tour is definitely worth it! The day we went, we spent 4 hours out on the water and saw quite a few humpback whales, a whole lot of dolphins, and some sea lions out in the waters. There were friendly humpbacks that circled really close to the boat for nearly an hour! They were so close we got sprayed multiple times. Some dolphins also swam alongside our ship. I didn't realize how close we would get to the animals! We got some amazing photos. And the guides were amazing and helpful. I definitely recommend this trip, and can't wait to go again - maybe next time I'll get to see the humpbacks breaching! | ||||||

| First we watched at sea lions and then we went further into the ocean, maybe 20 minutes with the boat, before we saw the first two whales. We stayed with them for some time and then decided to look for other, more active whales... We have seen two other pairs of whales and at the end a group of four whales, which was quite active.... It was fun! It's cold out there and very windy, take a jacket, even in the summer! | ||||||
