What to expect

Join us out on an exciting adventure as we explore the Monterey Bay in search of whales, dolphin, and other marine life. Monterey Bay is one of the best places in the world to see whales as we are lucky enough to experience these magnificent creatures year round here. Our vessels are smaller than some of our competition in order to give you plenty of viewing space and so that plenty of one on one time with our Marine Biologisits/Naturalists is ensured.
