    Dress warm. The bay is very calm so sea sickness is probably less of an issue for people. Great viewing from either deck. Easy to park and find the meeting place.

  • Cancelled at the last minute, something that appears to be more common

    The cruise was suddenly cancelled the night before. According to the shipping company due to bad weather the next day. We looked at various weather reports and did not get anything out of it that it became as bad as they said of the company. The next day we drove past the place and again the weather was fine. This company was apparently known afterwards for cancelling just in advance, most likely because they have too few people on board. Unfortunately for us, because we had adjusted our trip through California accordingly. The only plus is that we'll still get our money back.

  • Nice company

    We had a wonderful experience. The seagoddess staff were knowledgeable and friendly. They knew where the whales were feeding so we had a lot of opportunities to see them surface and on a few occasions with their baby whale. We highly recommend this outfit

    This was a great experience. Having this be our first time doing anything like this, it was easy to navigate through the logistics. On the guide itself, the staff were knowledgeable and friendly.

    It was amazing. We saw at least 7-8 whales and a raft of SeaLions. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful during the experience learned a lot about whales and other sea life. It get chilly so remember to dress appropriately

    It was a horrible experience. How is it possible that they canceled the event and never notified me? I traveled with my family for over 2 hours, booked a hotel to stay in Monterrey, and found out that the event was canceled.
