We were able to see the whales, although you do need to be a little patient.

Enjoy a unique experience during your stay in the capital of Massachusetts with this Boston Whale Watching Cruise. You'll only be a couple of feet away from these huge mammals.

At the time indicated we'll meet in Boston Harbor, and board a catamaran that will sail around the capital of Massachusetts.

We'll leave the port and begin making our way towards the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. As we approach this marine reserve, we'll begin to see the impressive mammals emerge from the water.

Keep an eye out! Humpback whales, fin whales, dolphins... how many of them will we see? For three and a half hours we'll cruise around the area in search of the incredible creatures and take pictures.

Finally, we'll return to the starting point and end the activity.

Whale Watching

Although whales are very common off the coast of Boston, animals are unpredictable. We can't guarantee which species or the number of whales you'll be able to see during the tour. If we're unlucky and don't see any whales, you'll be able to do the activity on another day.
