It was amazing! Out of all of the whale watching outlets on Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey, I can 100% say this is the best one! Super sweet and nice workers who made the trip even better!

I will definitely make this apart of my itinerary every time I visit Monterey. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they really love what they do. Spent more than enough time on the water and it was an experience I will never forget. I will recommend anyone who is staying around here to add this to their list.

It was a clear day and we saw a lot of whales and hundreds of seals. One whale was right next to the boat and scared everyone, lol. The crew was awesome and very engaged with their clients. I will definitely do it again when I come back to Monterey Bay.
