Amazing experience, saw loads of sea lions, humpback whales and orcas. The guide made every effort to make the experience as fulfilling as possible! We had a good 3 hours out at sea. This felt like a once in a lifetime experience, and would definitely recommend. Pack a jacket as it gets cold out there!
So Magical!

What a magical day! We absolutely loved this tour and couldn’t ask for a better view. Our captain and co-captain were absolutely wonderful! Kevin was so fun and friendly as well as professional. He knew so much about the whales and the area. We even saw a few of Humpback whales and even saw them flip in the air. There were a few other whale watching boats around us, but I realized that we had the best view at all times because our guides were so quick to find the whales and direct the ship towards them. It was an incredible experience! Thank you for everything.

The staff was friendly and welcoming. I brought 3 friends with me—2 sisters from Vienna and a local friend. I was the only one who had ever been on a whale watching tour—and this one did not disappoint. We saw plenty of whales and other wildlife. Kevin did a great job of teaching us fun facts about whales with a few “dad jokes” thrown in. One of our party was also feeling nauseous and Kevin gave her a ginger chew and water. It did the trick. I will definitely go on one of their trips again, and would recommend them to anybody who was visiting and wanted to see whales.
We had a whale of good time!

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.
