Great experience for a reasonable price! For ~$60 per person you’ll get whale, shark and otters watching during 3.5 hours of ocean cruising 💙 we saw lots of whales, even a family of 3 swimming together, ~3 sharks, one of which showed us a fin, and an otter who calmly laid on his back and eat something 🦦 at the end of the trip there was vortex of birds flying around boats in a specific place. Amazing! The only drawback for me was the sound. You can or cannot hear what the crew members are explaining about the sea life depending on where you stand on the boat and where are the crew member. I’ve missed some info because of that. Fortunately, It is not my first whale watching tour, so I know some info from previous tours.

Fantastic experience. Great staff, very educated. Very informative. Speaker on the boat was a little crackly, but they fixed it, plenty of room, coffee was hot, whales were awesome. We followed 3 or 4 had great views. We went late April.

Friendly crew and great at finding the whales. Turns out that Monterey Bay is a great place to find Whales because not only do several species stop by on migration north and south, but it is actually the final feeding destination for humpback whales.

Great tour! We’ll run boat (thank you ladies!) Got well over an hour of fantastic whale watching and some bottle nose dolphins in the early part of the trip. Seating is limited, if you can’t stand for the full 4 hours or so plan to go inside the galley area. Cheap snacks on board. Would book again.

Monterey Bay has whales and dolphins year-round. Mainly humpback and blue whales in the summer, and gray whales and orca in the winter and spring. Jenny Santa Cruz Whale Watching 831-427-0230

Hi Karen, 2019 fares are $51 for adults and $36 for kids age 4-13. infants age 0-3 are free, but you must make a reservation for them, as they count as a passenger on the boat. The Whale Watching trip is 3-4 hours long. We also offer a "Shark Encounter" tour (seasonal) which lasts 2 hours and is $39 for adults and $29 for kids age 4-13/age 3 and younger free.
