My partner and I often reminisce about this stay! Such great value for money. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, with an incredibly comfy bed. The continental breakfast was a nice touch, and the location was perfect — just outside the hustle and bustle with stunning views. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

    Whale watching in Monterey Bay was incredible.

    Whale watching in Monterey Bay was incredible. We saw many humpback whales very close up. We have since been whale watching elsewhere and must say that we did not realise quite how special the Monterey experience was at the time. Not to be missed!

    Do it!

    Do it! We saw more whales and dolphins close up than I ever imagined we would. Highly recommend the smaller boats used by “Discovery Whale Watching.” They have very knowledgeable marine biologists on board.

    Very knowledgeable crew who were happy to talk with passion about the animals we saw/their behaviour and to answer any questions. Saw lot of birds, sea ottes, sealions, elephant seal, humpback whales including a whale taking a kelp bath and cooperative feeding when the whales made a bait ball. Trip lasted around 4hours and I would recommend to all.

    The BEST whale watching experience we've had!

    The BEST whale watching experience we've had! Amazing viewing of the whales, dolphins, etc. The safari is organized and safe. A biologist is part of the staff, available for questions and narratives. The entire staff from Check In to Good Bye were friendly, informative and fun!
