We went whale watching this morning, and it was hands down the highlight of our trip! We were lucky enough to see so many whales from several different species. The crew goes above and beyond to make the experience special. They provided excellent explanations throughout the tour and took the time to answer every single question with genuine enthusiasm. Plus, the boat ride was so smooth that none of us got seasick at all. If you are doubting whether to book, just do it. It is absolutely worth every penny!

We were so lucky to see two pairs of mother and calf humpback whales! Both pairs swam peacefully alongside our boat, giving us plenty of time to watch them closely. Seeing their tails dive into the ocean was beautiful, but we were especially amazed when a calf rolled over, slapped its body with its flippers a few times, and made a vocal sound! By the end of the tour, my two elementary school-aged sons had completely fallen in love with whales. This became an unforgettable memory for our family.

Seeing the whales was absolutely magical and unforgettable! It was an incredible experience to watch these amazing animals up close. The service on the boat was outstanding—everything was very well organized, the narration was informative and engaging, and the boat was spotless. The entire crew did a fantastic job, making the trip enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend this experience to anyone!

The crew, boat and onsite experience was exceptional. The booking/refund admin experience, not so much. We had one person drop out and instead of refunding one ticket, we had to cancel and rebook for all of us, meaning that we couldn't get the same day/time originally planned. They certainly need to fix their booking issues but the event staff was on point in every way. Def worth every penny spent.

Very pleasant boat ride on an extremely hot day, at first we weren't sure we would see any whales and then we were surrounded by up to 25-30 humpbacks - amazing. There were also Minkie whales about. The Aquarium staff were very good at telling us about the whales, only slight drawback was audio system at back of ship very difficult to understand.

Set sail on a 3 to 4-hour whale watching cruise, led by naturalists from the New England Aquarium—one of the world’s leading marine conservation and research institutions.

Spot varieties—humpback, fin, & minke whales and even dolphins, all in their natural habitats at Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary.

Step out onto the spacious outdoor viewing decks or sit comfortably inside, taking in panoramic views through large glass windows.

Ask the expert naturalists questions you may have about all that you see—marine life, their behaviours, and habitats.

The whale watching cruise was amazing. We saw so many whales while also being taught great information by the naturalist. It takes around an hour to get to the area where whales can be found, but then you spend at least an hour viewing whales. We saw 8 known adult whales and 2 calves. We watched whales tail and full body breach, flipper slap and fluke dive. The boat is clean and has snacks and drinks available for purchase. The crew was friendly.
