We have whales and dolphins year-round on the Monterey Bay. Call (530) 778-3444 for reservations. Our whale watching cruises are about 4 hours long, which gives us plenty of time to see whales and dolphins in a relaxed manner. We may stay out five hours if needed to find cool stuff. We limit capacity on our boat to ensure a quality experience.
Want to get a great idea of how different we are? Read our passengers' comments here. They will blow you away and so will we!

With the exception of a couple of researchers' shots, all of these pictures were taken on our boats, either by us or our passengers.

"Dear Heidi and Steph, It has been a while since we have visited you. I hope you are both doing well. Alana, my 7 year old daughter, had her first whale watching experience with you guys about a year and a half ago, and simply loved it. She just turned 7 yesterday, and she said she would like to go on another whale watching trip with you. She would very much like to see Orcas. When is the best time of year to most likely encounter them? Sincerely, Mike" [Orcas are seen frequently on Monterey Bay year-round.]
"I was with you when we found those two great pods of orcas. Wonderful day! I enjoyed myself immensely and hope to be with you again next time I have a weekend in California. I took a number of photos of the Orcas on that day - as Steph said, it would have been hard not to get some reasonable shots."
