Amazing experience! We saw humpback whales , mother +baby putting up a performance we had never seen before! The captain and guide excellent. The boat is a small one , but the " hands on" experience is huge.

Kevin was a very personable young man. The Star of Monterey, clean and very safe. Whales performed amazing leaps and twists in the air. A beautiful afternoon on Monterey Bay.

Smaller boat with lots of space to see whales. The captain and crew kept in touch with other boats and took us to where the whales were. Very personable and knowledgeable. We saw quite a few humpbacks with some tail slaps and a flipper wave. Such an amazing trip!

Beautiful views of the bay shoreline, but the real stars of the tour were the whales! Saw lots of them, many of them breaching. Great tour and would definitely recommend!
