Traveler reviews
Great family experience.
Weather was perfect, calm waters. The captain always made sure everyone on the boat could see the whales, which we saw 3 and a pod of dolphins. The guide was very knowledgeable and the crew kind and helpful.
Great family outing!!
We went on this whale watch on July 4th with 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters. The boat was big and comfortable. I tend to get sea sick on smaller boats, and I did fine with my sea bands and this large boat. The weather was hot, but it was easy to find sun or shade on the boat. We saw a whale that was rolling around and raising his fins, then later we saw a mother and her calf. All were interesting to watch and the naturalist on board gave us lots of great information about whales in general and about these particular whales, their names, and how long they’ve been tracked in MA. Our son and grandson had seen 20 whales and calfs a few weeks earlier, and it wasn’t as “magical” but still a great way to spend 4 hrs on the 4th!
Amazing to see
Fun but crowded . Could have offered more comfort with padded seats!!
Just Go for It
I was eagerly looking for whale watch tour around Boston and with full confidence I can vouch this tour to everyone . They spent good amount of time around whales which was so good
It was the best experience anyone would love look at the weather before you go to do this experience but regardless love
