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!

We saw a pod of 5 humpback whales close to Pinos Point in Monterey Bay. They were so playful, constantly spouting 🐳 and diving under with tails gracefully following the big body into the Pacific.
One whale even breached, jumping fully out of the water, Amazing !! I wish I could upload the videos.★

Guest User2025-09-11
So much fun ..naturalist on board knew everything about all the sea animals and birds, plus stuff like erosion and restoration efforts. He pointed out all the animals so we knew where to look - seals, sea lions, otters, and several kinda of birds
