Whale Watching Tour From Monterey

The deck hands are super knowledgeable and friendly. They also have eagle eyes and were able to spot some Humpbacks, a BLUE WHALE, and a Super pod of common dolphins. We also saw some sea birds that you dont normally see like a black footed Albatross! It was my daughter's 1st time whale watching and she had a blast.

Saw lots of whales, dolphins and seals. Friendly atmosphere.

Amazing Tour. We were able to see Orcas, Bluewale and some Humpback whales.

I had an incredible experience. The team was very kind and welcoming. Our guide Isaiah shared his knowledge about Marine life, sang a few songs, and answered all of our questions. Most importantly, he knew where to go, we got there fast, and we were the only boat on the water to see nearly a dozen humpback whales feeding in the bay. While you can never predict what wildlife are going to do, you can book a tour with people who are knowledgeable about the area and the ocean. Highly recommend.

Follow advice of tour operator and take snacks, water and warm, waterproof clothing. You need patience, but will hopefully be well rewarded, as we were, by being surrounded by dolphins, whales and sea lions galore.

Amazing wildlife experience, but know your tolerance for rough water. This is a tough one to rate because the actual wildlife experience was incredible. We saw somewhere around 10–20 humpback whales and what the crew estimated to be roughly 2,000 common dolphins, which was absolutely spectacular. The staff was also fantastic throughout the trip, knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. That said, the conditions made the overall experience pretty difficult for our family. It was cold and the water was very choppy, and both my wife and I became extremely seasick to the point of vomiting several times. We definitely weren’t alone, as probably 7–8 other passengers were sick as well. Even our kids, who enjoyed seeing the wildlife, said afterward that they wouldn’t want to do it again. For context, everyone in our family took seasickness medication before the trip, and we still struggled with the conditions, which speaks to just how rough and choppy the water was that day. Obviously, the company can’t control the ocean, so I don’t fault the crew for the conditions at all. I’d just strongly recommend that anyone prone to motion sickness take every precaution possible and come prepared for a much colder and rougher ride than you might expect. Incredible wildlife and a great crew. For us personally, though, the sea conditions made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the most literal sense.

We saw multiple humpback whales on our trip. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable.

My boyfriend and I went in the 9am 4 hours tour and it was INCREDIBLE! Not only did we see tons of amazing wildlife, but the staff was helpful and knowledgeable and made the experience fun and educational. We would definitely go again!!

Very great experience! If they offer you a pill for seasickness, just take it!

Such a great experience... Our naturalist were kind, funny and knowledgeable. We saw a blue whale, several humpbacks, Risso dolphins, and an albatross!! So exciting!
