I’m not sure we will ever be able to top this experience. Absolutely mind-blowing from start to finish! Slater and Margo were incredible: warm, kind, knowledgeable, engaging, and so genuinely excited to share the experience with us. Somehow, they got us in front of 30+ humpback whales today, and it was truly one of the most spectacular things we have ever witnessed. What makes Enocean Tours so special is how intimate and personal the experience feels. There is absolutely nothing commercial or “touristy” about it. You’re able to get an unbelievably close, personal view of these majestic animals with people who clearly know and respect the ocean and its wildlife. And as if the day itself weren’t enough, Slater captures incredible photos throughout the trip and sends them to you afterward, so you can actually be present in the moment and still have amazing photos to remember it forever. This was beyond a five-star experience. If you are anywhere near Monterey or Carmel, book this tour. It will be one of those experiences you talk about for the rest of your life. We are still completely blown away!
