Overall great experience! - Amazing afternoon whale watching experience! The crew was knowledgeable and friendly, making the trip even more enjoyable. We saw a handful of gray whales up close, and it was incredible to watch them surface and dive. The boat was comfortable, and the guides provided great insights about the whales and local marine life. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Monterey!

A brilliant whale-watching experience - We had a fantastic trip! It far exceeded our expectations. We saw lots of humpback whales (as well as sea-lions). The small-ish boat meant we could get very close to the whales, and the guides gave loads of useful information as well as being very friendly. Though the trip was just 3 hours, they knew exactly where to go and were able to make really good use of the time to see lots of whales. It was all very well organised. They even sent us photos afterwards from the whales we saw on our trip. We were probably lucky with the weather - the sea was calm and I don't think anybody on the boat felt at all sea sick. A fantastic trip all round.
