We saw several species of dolphin and a few humpbacks, including 2 who appeared to be catnapping! Andrew, our deckhand, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Terrific experience!!

We booked a whale watching tour with this company from Monterrey Bay on the 3rd August 2022 (through Viator) and we were so impressed by the whole experience! The staff on the boat (Kevin and Alfredo) were so friendly and knowledgeable and they gave a very interesting and educational commentary throughout the trip and were so happy and eager to talk with us and the other guests and answer any questions we had, passing on their extensive knowledge about the whales and the local marine biology. The captain, JJ, also knew the area very well and ensured we explored the area fully, looking for the whales. What struck us also about this company was their passion to respect the whales and other sea life in their natural habitat, ensuring we didnā€™t disturb their natural environment. We saw humpback whales on a few occasions during the three hour trip and it was truly magical and the great memory of the trip will stay with us! We wouldnā€™t hesitate to recommend this company for your whale watching trip ā€“ it was an amazing experience! Karen & Martin James, United Kingdom

I felt this group was very well-organized and was very communicative of what to expect up until the day of the boat ride! The boat itself was small, but it didn't feel too crowded and you would be told where to move to see the wildlife. We were able to see some humpbacks (one snuck away before we could see it), but we were lucky to see a small pod of orcas with a few babies! The babies jumping out of the water was certainly a sight to see. The guide was very informative & welcoming, even going around the boat to speak with everyone individually, which I thought was nice. Overall, the experience is worth having if you're even considering buying tickets. This was the first time I've tried whale watching in Monterey, but I would definitely come back again with Discovery Whale Watch!
