Lots of whales & sights to see!! - So great! We went on our honeymoon and saw multiple different types of whales, including orcas!!! We could see jellyfish in the water and passed many seals. I got seasick unfortunately but besides the nausea everything else was very enjoyable. One of the guys on the crew passed my husband a ginger drop for me to take which I thought was sweet! It ended up helping my stomach a lot too! 10/10

Fantastic experience - Great trip. Knowledgable guides who did a great job pointing out the sea life. Small boat. Good for up close views of the whales but not good if you are prone to motion sickness.

Great afternoon trip - Absolutely loved it, large enough boat to feel safe, but small enough it wasn’t crowded. Saw a few pods lots of whales. One of the best ideas we had next to playing Pebble Beach.

Great experience - Would be a 5 except that the boat was in need of a facelift. Cabin windows were plexiglass and deteriorated. So it was hard to see out, if you wanted to stay out of the weather. Otherwise, no complaints. The crew was knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about whales and sea life in the bay. And we saw a number of whales.

Whale watching - The trip was great we saw a ton of whales and sea lions. If they had shortened the trip by 45 minutes it would have been perfect
