A life's dream realised today seeing humpback whales. In fact whales everywhere! Amazing to have a close encounter with these amazing creatures. Discovery Whale Watch were fantastic. Well organised, informative. Andrew and Isaiah were really informative and professional. Would certainly recommend to anyone visiting Monterey.

Wonderful trip on a gorgeous day. We traveled a short distance into the bay and started seeing dolphins. Within minutes humpback whales showed up. We had a pod of 8 to 11 we watched for a good hour or longer. Isaiah gave us information about the biology of the whales and this part of the ocean. Many others were seen also. Whales were seen almost the entire time. The ride was smooth with no one getting sick. Highly recommend. Our best whale watching trip by far.

Could not recommend this enough, Isiah, Parker and Captain Danny were incredibly knowledgable and enthusiastic about the trip. We saw hump back whales, Risso dolphins, Orcas, sea lions, seals, sea otters, jelly fish and a whole array of sea birds. We would come back here in a heart beat, once in a life time trip on an incredible boat & outstanding crew.
