First the weather was great. Having read your tips we brought the right clothing for when we were out on the waters. The excitement of seeing the whales with their calves was the best part. We were excited to see the whales and some dolphins were all around our boat. I was able to capture some great moments with my camera. I loved sharing what I captured on camera with the researchers who were logging the whales to identify them. And they shared with several of us how they can identify each whale by the markings on their tail. The whole experience was awesome. Finally I appreciated that the captain and crew always respected the whales and their environment, giving them their space. The researcher on board helped me to become more knowledgeable about whale life and their habits. I hope the photos that I submit will help identify the whales better. Thank you.

We did the Boston Harbor sunset cruise on Friday July 24th. It was a beautiful and informative time. We watched planes from the Boston airport land and take off. We saw the end of day ceremony at the USS Constitution. They offered food and drinks for purchase. The entry and exit process was smooth and there were plenty of seating options. We really enjoyed the cruise!

We really enjoyed the Boston Historic cruise! We sat on the top of the boat close to the presenter. He was fabulous! We learned so much about the Boston Harbor and surrounding waters. We got to see several important monuments, locations, and ships of our country's/Boston's vast history. Our narrator/tour guide, Kevin, was incredibly informative and the way he presented the information was fun and almost like we were in a story! We got to see the Bunker Hill monument, the USS Constitution, and more!

I had a wonderful time visiting the New England Aquarium! The exhibits were beautiful and well maintained, and it was amazing to see so many incredible marine animals up close. The Giant Ocean Tank was definitely the highlight of my visit, and I also enjoyed watching the playful penguins. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. It’s a great place for families, couples, or anyone who loves ocean life. I would definitely recommend visiting if you’re in Boston!
