The experience was amazing. Went with Naturetrek UK on 5 whale watching trips out of Monterey at the end of August 22 with Isaiah and Andrew as our naturalists who were knowledgeable, great communicators, friendly and so enthusiastic it was infectious. Having been on many whale watching trips around the world, all disappointing, this trip surpassed my expectations with regular close sightings of humpbacks, killer whales, four species of dolphins and even got to see a blue whale. The naturalists took time with everyone to explain the life cycle of the food chain in the bay with the whales at the top, in a way which was easily understood and informative. Isaiah with his book on how it all works is worth a special mention, as is Andrews shanty singing. Best holiday experience ever. Full marks.
