Whale Watching Monterey Bay

Overview

Sea Goddess Whale Watching promises a once-in-a-lifetime whale watching experience. Our whale watching tours depart from Moss Landing, right at the mouth of the Monterey Bay Canyon, one of the largest underwater canyons in the world! This nutrient-rich zone attracts all types of marine life, making Moss Landing the best place for whale watching tours in the entire Monterey Bay. With many migratory whales, we’re able to offer guaranteed whale sightings year-round.

Since we our tours depart out of Moss Landing – Less Travel Time than Monterey wharf departures, and More Whale Watching Time!

Amazing trip. First time whale watching and we were not disappointed. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We can’t wait to go back during the summer.

AMAZING! first the staff was very friendly, informative! We told the tour from Moss Landing at 9:30am. The weather was wonderful, a little chilly… the AMAZING part we go to see humpback whales during our trip! The captain made sure we were able to get as close as possible for us to enjoy these wonderful mammals but keeping a safe distance! We paid to sit on the top deck which was wonderful to enjoy the Sun and the view! In addition to seeing whales we saw sea lions, otters, seals, and many birds! Leaving from Moss landing was very easy, parking was only 14.00, and upon your return there are wonderful restaurants you to enjoy lunch right on bay! I would definitely do the tour again! ~Lilly from Whittier CA

We did an early Sunday morning (9:30) VIP tour. I loved that it wasn’t as crowded as the later tour and being upstairs made it much easier to move from side to side as whales were spotted. (Captain seemed to like to keep the whales on the right for our trip) The crew was courteous and knowledgable. This is off season and we were still able to have quite a few sightings.
