Be careful of booking your whale-watching with ‘Discovery’. You should definitely go whale watching in Monterey Bay - humpback whales practically perform ballet around the boat, year-round, not to mention the other fantastic marine mammals we saw. But if you decide to go with Discovery, you should hope you don’t get the ‘marine naturalist’ we had on the morning of Aug 21st. He began by assuring us he wouldn’t stay in the cabin avoiding questions, and then that is exactly what he did. When I approached the cabin to get more information on a sighting (he neglected to mention where we were to look), he gave me a grudging answer and the shut the cabin door on my hand. After realizing what he had done, and once I had a chance to get my hand out, he slammed and locked the door without a word. A serious let-down to an otherwise fantastic experience. I would strongly advise people to go with one of the many other firms instead.
