Itinerary

Join us out on an exciting adventure as we explore the Monterey Bay in search of whales, dolphin, and other marine life. Monterey Bay is one of the best places in the world to see whales as we are lucky enough to experience these magnificent creatures year round here. Our vessels are smaller than some of our competition in order to give you plenty of viewing space and so that plenty of one on one time with our Marine Biologisits/Naturalists is ensured.

Whales galore!!!!

Published on Oct, 2024

Wonderful trip. Whales, sea lions and gulls all in a feeding frenzy right at the boat. Isiah was great! If you are thinking of going, do it!!!

Humpback happiness

Published on Oct, 2024

Excellent and knowledgeable crew helped us enjoy sighting at least 7 Humpbacks on our afternoon trip . Sea choppy but boat very stable.

Wonderful experience

Published on Sep, 2024

Watching the whales frolic and group together. The commentary was interesting and well done. Terrific job of finding and traveling with the whales.

A brilliant whale-watching experience

Published on Aug, 2024

We had a fantastic trip! It far exceeded our expectations. We saw lots of humpback whales (as well as sea-lions). The small-ish boat meant we could get very close to the whales, and the guides gave loads of useful information as well as being very friendly. Though the trip was just 3 hours, they knew exactly where to go and were able to make really good use of the time to see lots of whales. It was all very well organised. They even sent us photos afterwards from the whales we saw on our trip. We were probably lucky with the weather - the sea was calm and I don't think anybody on the boat felt at all sea sick. A fantastic trip all round.

Whale Sightings…..

Published on Aug, 2024

Crew was very knowledgeable and informative. Maddie’s passion made the trip so enjoyable. We saw at least 8 whale sightings plus other sea life. Highly recommend.
