Selected Discovery after a little online research and determined their schedule fit ours, and equally important, we liked that they are a fairly new, small, independent operator that runs a relatively small boat. We didn't want one of the fancy-shmancy double-decker "tour" boats for whale watching. The check-in went incredibly smoothly; hot chocolate and coffee, friendly staff. The boat crew was friendly, very knowledgable, and communicative the entire time we were on the water. We got to see several humpbacks diving and surfacing at a handful of locations the crew found, as well as seals, otters and a rare siting of an albatross swooping down near the boat to briefly land on the surface of the ocean. One of the nicest parts of the half-day was that thanks to the enthusiastic but genuinely caring and friendly energy of the crew, we felt very comfortable with our fellow whale watchers; we even have a few new Facebook friends.

Amazing to see so many humpback whales just beyond the bay. We were given lots of facts and figures which was good. Carried on out to find dolphins. Didn’t see blue or orca but that was alright. Loved the colony of sea lions. Take a lot of layers, it was freezing plus sea sickness tablets.

We booked a 3 hour tour aboard the Princess Atlantis boat. It appears to be the biggest boat among all the tour groups. The staff was very friendly and the onboard naturalist was very professional and knowledgeable. If you are prone to seasickness plan accordingly. The boat has a flat bottom and thus it is a very rocky ride. We paid the extra cash for the upper deck. Not sure I would do that again. They close off the front of the boat on the upper deck, and I still found myself on the lower deck much of the time. Upper deck give you first boarding privileges and access to the best seat, kinda like Southwest Airlines. We got very close to many whales and saw some spectacular launch feeds from many. It was a great time and I would say a must do if you come to Monterey.
