3 Hour Afternoon Whale Watch in Monterey Bay, CA

Duration

2.5 - 3 Hours

Description

Our daily whale watch trips are 2.5 to 3 hours in duration. (Trips are weather permitting.)

We travel to different locations within Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to view whales and dolphins throughout the year.

Our crew will show you how to spot whales and dolphins as well as give you advice on how to best capture photos and videos of the wildlife.

Please be advised that Monterey does experience afternoon wind, so the sea conditions tend to be rougher in the afternoon.

What to Bring

• We always recommend warm layers. You can always take a layer off if you are too warm, but you can’t put on a layer you didn’t bring.
• Long pants and close toed shoes are highly recommended.
• It is also a good idea to bring a water proof layer; not only does it keep you dry, it also protects you from the wind.
• Hats or sun protection even on overcast days is recommended.

What should I bring with me on the boat?

In addition to the recommended clothing and sun protection, you may want bring a camera, binoculars, water and snacks. (up to a small cooler is permitted)
