Monterey is a seaside city in central California on the southside of Monterey Bay. Monterey life is all about the bay, where residents and tourists enjoy boating and beaching.

    The action in Monterey always comes back to the water. The bay has several great beaches to enjoy. Asilomar State Beach has dramatic boulders that provide a very unique view. Del Monte is another solid beach option that is close to the city.

    Before joining the United States via the Mexican-American War, Monterey was the capital of Alta California. It was a major port under Spain and Mexico. Monterey continues to celebrate its early heritage. A few sites to check out are San Carlos Cathedral and Colton Hall Museum.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
