WOW!.This was fantastic, we had a great, great time, it was truly amazing. The crew was knowledgeable, great people, Pete was so nice, personable, funny. The trip was truly amazing, There was no hurry, they even stopped on our way back to shore to watch a humpback breach. This vacation was for me to see whales, and I did and i can't say it enough, truly amazing. Whales are amazing animals. .

Was nervous about doing this and not seeing any whales. No chance of that. The boat chugged out a while passing lots of sea lions and sea otters basking in the clouds. We went away from the other tours, but came across a unique whale. A minke whale. Then traveled to see the humpback whales. We saw them tail flicking, we saw them breach, all the while the crew giving us great commentary. We then moved for quite a long while before coming across 30 Rizzo dolphins and then had some white dolphins follow us and play in front of the boat. All the while the crew looking after those sickly amongst us. We were out for well over 4 hours. A fantastic experience and one I would recommend. Thanks

We love nature trips and Discovery Whale Watching was a super trip. We see more than 20 humpbacks, countless Sea Lions and tons of different species of birds. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and food a great job of telling us about everything we saw. When we go back to Monterey we will go out on another Discovery Whale Watch Tour.
