5.00Unbelievable. Amazing. Up close whale feeding that was one of the most extraordinary things I've ever seen.
Disappointing.

4.00The boat was quite full and many people were standing around the main cabin where the seating was, so it was difficult to see out when getting to the whale area, also the windows were very dirty and scuffed. When the whales were visible the viewing was not made any easier by people who were standing in narrow areas. The commentary was not legible in the cabin as the speakers were outside and not clear with the engine noise. On the pluss side we saw lots of hump backs some with young which made the experience better.

5.00Chris’s whale watching tour is #1 in my book. On ship biologist narrating as we explored the Monterey bay. We had 3 full humpy breaches. Several flukes, dolphins and so much more. Take Dramamine if you are prone to motion sickness. Trip of a lifetime!!!
This way overbooked no place for me or the girlfriend to sit and the bias looked very very old

5.00It was terrific. Not terribly hard to get in and out of the boat. Saw many whales and sea otters. Saw a few dolphins too.
