About Discovery Whale Watch

Discovery Whale Watch offers daily whale watching trips departing from Monterey Fisherman's Wharf. Visitors board boats to observe whales and marine wildlife in their natural habitat. The trips feature sightings of humpback whales, blue whales, gray whales, and orca whales. Dolphins regularly appear during outings, including Pacific white-sided dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, northern right whale dolphins, and Risso's dolphins. The operation maintains multiple boats for excursions throughout the week. Naturalists accompany trips to provide information about marine life and behavior. The service operates daily except for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, with trip times varying based on weather conditions and passenger interest. This Monterey, California attraction suits visitors interested in observing cetaceans and other marine species in the coastal waters of Monterey Bay.

Planning your visit

Booking: Yes, we recommend reserving in advance to ensure you get the time and date that you want. During the high season (summer) in Monterey, trips do sell out, so booking at least three to four days ahead of time is recommended. You can book online at any time.
Ticket dates and refunds: If we do not sight a whale during your trip we offer “Rainchecks” a coupon voucher to come with us again (free) and it never expires!
