Reviews: 3-Hour Whale Watching Tour from Monterey
Guest User2024-09-22
Hubby and I planned a trip to tour the west coast in honor of me turning 50 this year and one stop we planned was the Monterey Bay Area. I have always wanted to a whale watching tour. After reading reviews and watching lots of videos on the Discovery Whale Watching Facebook page I decided to book our tour. We were lucky enough to be booked on the Kahuna with Captain Rod, naturalist Andrew and deckhand Jesse for the 9 am trip. Although it was a somewhat foggy morning the whales showed up and showed off! Andrew and his wealth of sea life knowledge helped us to understand how amazing these incredible creatures are and how important each animal impacts each other. Captain Rod was awesome in navigating us through the fog and helping to find and stick with the whales as best he could. And Jesse was great at helping those that needed some assistance while on the boat. And all three of them performed somewhat of a miracle. My yeti rambler travel mug managed to work its way out of the side of my backpack and fell into the water. I was so upset about it falling in (because I didn’t want to harm any of the sea life) and thought it was lost forever! But lo and behold those three guys saw it fall in and found it about 10-15 minutes later still afloat and Jesse scooped it out of the water!! Talk about skills! Thank you guys for a great once in a life time experience! I would recommend this company and this crew for a truly awesome experience! Nicole and Adam

My wife and I are travelling through California for our honeymoon and I had to do a Monterey Bay whale watch. We booked a half day trip with Discovery based on the reviews and we were not disappointed. The crew were great, giving lots of local knowledge as well as the important info and facts about the whales we were about to see as well as the others we might see. When we did see whales, and we saw over 20 during our trip, we got close enough to see them without disturbing them. We also saw what we were told was the best feeding event seen all year with Humpbacks lunging from the surface to feed. The sea lions were never too far away also who are great fun to watch. Despite the sea fog we had a fantastic trip, one that I will never forget. Thanks Discovery Whale Watch!

Awesome! Simple awesome fun time. We started w/ renting 2 ebikes for a couple of hours while we waited for our guided kayak tour. I apologize for not getting his name, but the shop manager was polite & helpful in getting us booked, signing the liability waiver, setting our expectations of what we could see. Jan was our excellent guide. She's an area resident since she was a teenager and knows all about the habitat, behavior, and ocean environment. I'll be requesting her specifically next time.

Great tour with Toby, he seems to know everyone in the town! He’s extremely knowledgeable and gives you a great understanding the unique terroir of the area which produces some of the central coast most unique wines. He also gave some great recommendations for vineyards to visit on Paso & Santa Ynez.
