Traveler reviews
great experience
Really amazing whale watch! Saw tons of whales and the guide was very informative!!
What a fantastic experience! Worth every penny!
The boat had a conservationist on board. She helped with information on each of the groups and also made it easy to see where they were and what they might do next. She and the captain worked together well to ensure we all had a chance to see the whales (moms and babies!) as they moved about. We were lucky to have two different groups who seemed to love the attention. The crew was nice and seemed very skilled at being at sea which made my nerves happy. Such a great trip, we will definitely do when ever we come !
It worth your time and money!
This trip is from Cape Ann which is about 1 hour from Boston. It is closer to the marine life sanctuary than Boston. So, you get to see whales more often. The 8:30 trip was not so crowded. As the sightings were on the both sides of the ship, you walk across the deck from one side to another tryingto have a glimpse of whales. So, having less passengers on board is definitely a plus! It was certainly time and money well spent!!
An absolute must to do
Fantastic! Boat crew was terrific. We saw 8 whales including a mother and calf. Worth every penny!!!!!
Amazing!
