Boats on Monterey Bay
THE GODDESS FANTASY
The largest, cleanest, most experienced, safest whale watching boat in Monterey
WHALE WATCHING MONTEREY
With the Sea Goddess, you can see whales year round.
The Monterey Bay is California’s best location for viewing humpback whales, killer whales a.k.a. orcas, gray whales, blue whales, great white sharks and the abundance of marine species including dolphins, jellyfish and mola mola, which call the Pacific Ocean home.
Sea Goddess Whale Watching promises you a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our whale watching tours depart from Moss Landing, at the mouth of the Monterey Bay Canyon, one of the largest underwater canyons in the world! The canyon is a nutrient-rich zone that attracts all types of marine life, making Moss Landing the best place for whale watching tours in the entire state of California, and Monterey Bay including San Francisco.
In fact, the Monterey Bay is home to resident whales & dolphins and visited by so many migratory whales that we’re able to offer guaranteed whale sightings year-round. Plan your day!
Experience, Skill & Secret Spot Knowledge
Skilled professionals will be at your disposal throughout your whale watching journey.
Our Captains have some of the longest whale watch experience on the Monterey Bay and are skilled at knowing all the best spots for seeing migrating whales that come down from San Francisco on their way to Mexico. They will lead you to witness humpback whales, pods of orcas, and the blue whale, the largest and possibly most magnificent animal on the planet. Learn about whale behaviors such as the epic breaching, lunge feeding, pectoral slapping and tail slapping that is often on display from the acrobatic humpback whales from our marine biologist naturalists that have a passion for educating you.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
We are the highest ranked whale watching team in all of Monterey.
We had an amazing experience with Sea Goddess on 8/27. Our boat had around 40-50 people, which gave plenty of room to move around comfortably. We never felt crowded, and there was no fighting for space along the rails, which made the experience even more enjoyable.The boarding process was smooth, and everyone we interacted with around the dock was friendly and helpful. Our guide was awesome--very knowledgeable and educational throughout the cruise. We learned so much, and at the end of the trip she took the time to talk with everyone individually.
Most importantly, we saw a ton of whales and dolphins! It was an incredible experience, and we had such a great time. We would definitely go again and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend Sea Goddess for anyone wanting a fun, educational, and memorable whale-watching experience!
We missed our boat in the am & they kindly allowed us to join the afternoon trip! We enjoyed Mikey & Chris & their knowledge! It wasn't just whale watching it was dolphin & sea lion watching? Thanks for a lovely afternoon!
Well we seen lots of seals, dolphins and 6 to 8 whales. Very informative of the different animals. My wife and I really enjoyed it. Was hoping to see a killer whale but hopefully next time we do this tour.
We've also done this tour several times, and never a disappointment! The ship is lovely and comfortable and the crew are amazing!! I love that they take the time to allow everyone to enjoy these experiences. It was fun, it was awe inspiring, it was a wonderful morning!
Thank you so much!!
While the staff wasn't very friendly or welcoming, the boat was fine and did a good job of positioning for whale viewing. It would be nice if the add on costs for parking were more clearly explained with the specific costs as well as the benefits of the add on cost for the upper, which was not clearly understood and may not have any benefit over the standard deck, instead of getting the sales pitches to buy additional items when checking in.
Took my two nieces on the whale watching excursion and we all had a great time. Right off we saw lots and lots of dolphins and then - yeah - whales!
What an Experience! The Captain and crew were amazing. They had us seeing whales in no time, and several breaches occurred and to see huge whales leaping out of the ocean was simply incredible. I would do it again!!
We've been on this tour several times through the years, but two incredible trips come to mind; once in 2019 and today in 2026! Each time has been incredible! We always learn so much AND see so much - we've seen dolphins, orcas, humpbacks, sea lions, and otters on this tour. The tour is the perfect amount of time and the staff are so knowledgeable, safe, and kind. We're lucky to live only two hours away; we always recommend this company to friends and family coming in from out of state. Can't wait to come back, we won't wait so long next time in between visits!
Found a Groupon for a great price and booked for the next day and I am so glad I did! We saw at least 8-10 different whales and hundreds of dolphins. I felt safe and learned so much from the biologist on board. The lower deck was perfect for viewing them up close giving my 4 year olds a good view. An amazing experience overall!
