I'm looking to go in March, would I have a good chance of seeing a whale? Also, what kinds of whales/animals would I be able to see in March? Thanks!

Which hale tour boat do you do think is the best and/or which tour did you enjoy? Also, what is the best time of day to take the tour?

Yes Monterey Bay would be way better wanted to go there but just too hard to get too.. we didn't have car. Sf Whale watching is good, at the moment there are whales but couldn't get close which I was disappointed with. We went on the 9am but they were half an hour late due to refueling of boat.. so 9.30am we left. We saw nothing else.. just a few whales from a distance wish it was more
Do the boats have an enclosed area and what are the dimensions of the boats?
A:
Yes, they do have an enclosed area if you like to sit inside. I am not sure about the dimension but its a decent size boat accommodating at least 25-30 people.
We are looking at taking a tour early in July. The times available on the day we prefer are 11am and 2pm. Would there be a better chance of seeing whales at one time vs the other? Is there a difference in how choppy the water is? Thanks!

I took the 11:00 cruise and we saw 4 whales. I think I read somewhere that it’s better to go earlier because the water gets choppy later. I’m not sure though but it wasn’t choppy at all when we went. It’s a great thing to do. Have fun!!

I don’t think it is really suitable for a baby. Obviously the baby is not going to get anything out of it from a whale-watching perspective, therefore the question is whether the parent or parents will be able to enjoy the experience with a babe-in-arms. Possibly..but also possibly not. We had almost perfect weather, no swell and no wind, clear skies and sun......but it was still quite cold out in the bay. If the weather is not so good you can always take the baby inside, but then there is no point going out on the boat in the first place.
