We have been on many whale watching/dolphin watching tours in our life and this one, BY FAR, was the BEST one we have ever been on. The staff members were so knowledgeable, courteous and enthusiastic about their jobs and were so helpful and friendly. The scenery was incredible that day, and we saw at least six, possibly more whales. Lots of dolphins too, and the sunset was beyond description.

It's been a long term wish of my wife to see a whale. We've tried in the Caribbean with no luck. This tour office is situated right at the end of the Monterey fishermans wharf. The reception staff were friendly, helpful and informative. At this time of year, November, there was no need to book in advance, but we did as we were so keen. 2 options: top deck with access to bottom as well (more expensive), or just bottom deck. I'd recommend top deck, more open and easier to move side to side. We saw 3 Humpback whales, the wife was exctatic. Take sea sick pills though, it a bit rolling! An amazing trip. Saw sea Otter and sealion too. Recommended

Whilst it was unlucky that poor weather meant the trip was cancelled, it is unacceptable that over a week has now passed without refund or any response to my asking when I will get my money back. Incidentally, reservation is not free as claimed as there is a one dollar credit check payment. Very disappointing all round.
