Comments about Smart Destinations Chris Whale Watching in Monterey:

We had fun. Saw lots of humpback whales and even saw 4 blue whales. At the end we saw a bunch of hunchbacks breaching which was really cool. We also saw 1 dolphin, tons of seals and jellyfish (sea jellies) you know what I mean. It was truely an amazing adventure. If you get seasick take your meds. We had perfect weather. I was glad I took snacks as well for the kids.

Comments about Smart Destinations Chris Whale Watching in Monterey:

Chris's Whale watching trip was wonderful. We saw many Blue and Humpback whales on our July 13th trip. It was unbelievable. Whales were jumping in and out of the water sometimes two at a time. My family and I really enjoyed the tour.
