What To Expect

Join us out on an exciting adventure as we explore the Monterey Bay in search of whales, dolphin, and other marine life. Monterey Bay is one of the best places in the world to see whales as we are lucky enough to experience these magnificent creatures year round here.
Our vessels are smaller than some of our competition in order to give you plenty of viewing space and so that plenty of one on one time with our Marine Biologisits/Naturalists is ensured.

Top10Adventures® wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Top10Adventures® over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
