So you’re wondering ‘If I visit Monterey, should I bother with a whale watching trip?’.
Our answer – one million percent YES!
Unless you don’t like whales, then maybe not. Because you will be up close and personal with the Humpbacks. Oh and sea otters, the resident sea lions and if you’re lucky, your tour guide might get word of nearby Killer Whales.
