A perfect anniversary trip - We had an excellent time on the whale cruise. We saw humpback whales and a pod of dolphins. I would highly recommend using this group.

Fantastic family experience - nothing compares to it! - We (family of 5) had a wonderful time on this tour. It was a privilege to be that close to the pair of humpback whales that our captain (JJ) maneuvered us close to. Our onboard guide, Isaiah, provided excellent commentary throughout the tour, and he helpfully answered everyone's questions about what we were experiencing. Tips/insights: It takes about one hour to get out to the whale-watching location, and likewise to return to Monterey; so you'll have roughly an hour on-station to see the whales. The weather was a little rough the day we went; maybe that was an unusual circumstance, but I would nevertheless recommend wearing waterproof clothing. (Our boat had a cabin that some passengers took refuge in, but it was pretty tight quarters.) Isaiah and the third member of the team, Kevin, helped a passenger who was seasick. Again, maybe the weather we experienced was unusual, but I would recommend bringing something to combat seasickness if you think you might be prone to it. All in all it was a great experience, due in no small measure to Capt. JJ, Isaiah, and Kevin. I will do whale-watching again the next time I'm in Monterey, and it will be with Discovery Whale Watch.

Great whale watching expereinces - Great experiences for whale watching, afternoon trip during spring would be perfect timing with very friendly tour guide.

Whale Watcher from Wales - Spectacular! This truly was the trip of a lifetime. We came across a pod of orcas enjoying an afternoon feast. The ocean was a full on food festival with dozens of orcas feeding, leaping out of the water and getting frisky! Sophia our tour guide was so informative about their behaviours and the marine life of Monterey Bay. An amazing afternoon!

Nice whale’s discovery - Nice team on the boat captain JJ, Andrew and energetic Sophie. Medium size boat everyone can see easily. And of course watching a couple of whales !

Great afternoon adventure. - I had a great time. One whale was really showing us a lot of jumps and tail hanging. Very impressive site. Highly recommend.

Fun! - Andrew was a great guide and gave us so much information about the whales we saw that day. Jeremiah the deck hand was friendly and very helpful with some poor kids who had gotten sea sick. They were all professional and very funny! It was an awesome experience.

Excellent experience!... - Excellent experience! That was my dream to see whales and it was fantastic! I will come again! The guides were excellent

Fantastic trip - This trip was exciting, from the minute we got on the boat till we got off. We saw sea otters, sea lions and several grey whales. The crew were very hands on, and knowledgeable, keeping us all entertained with stories and facts about both the ocean and cetaceans. We even had a rendition on a sea shanty on return to shore. A marvellous trip. Thank you.

Tour Canceled Last Minute - About an hour before the adventure, we received a phone call that the event was canceled due to weather conditions. We were shocked because the weather was beautiful -- sunny with blue skies. Since we were at the wharf, we noticed other whale watching companies were giving tours. We suspect the real reason is that they did not have enough passengers, but we'll never know.
