We saw five different humpback whales, two of them interacting, one breaching - it was spectacular! The explanations of the nature guide were very helpful in understanding these beautiful animals.
Outstanding experience! Saw numerous whales with several being so close to ship we could even hear and feel the snout blowing! Guide was informative and enthusiastic adding to the excitement. Clean and organized. Short distance out to view whales in their natural habitat. Loved it!
Amazing experience. Tina is an amazing guide. The Captain ensured all guests had an opportunity to see the whales.
Superb experience! Really helpful to have free onsite parking. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Great views of the whales and onboard information from the naturalist. Amazing.
A fantastic trip and great for families. Just the boat ride is worth the price of the ticket. We saw several whales as well as unique jellyfish. The naturalist and guides were very informative and great to have on board. We went mid-August and 2 of our members put their jackets on. It really is that much cooler offshore. The concession prices were very reasonable. We hope to go on another tour in the future.
Cape was terrific outfit to go with. Getting tickets was made easy when I could not get my app to work by simply telling them your name. Thank you ticket people! the trip was great DAVE was a wealth of knowledge about whales and made the experience that much better. Thanks DAVE
It was excellent! We saw two groups of whales. 5 and 3! They showed us their tales and fins. We saw a whales baby, that was jumping in the air and flopping it's fins.
This was my first whale watch. I absolutely loved it. From the booking to the whale watch everything was very easy. I'm sure it helped that we had great weather. The naturalist on board was very knowledgeable and she came around later to ask if we had any questions. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
Best day! Boat is strong and fast. Ride out to the whales was long, which was great as boat trips are usually to short! Saw whales with their babies! Guide was giving great information. Sunny and shady parts to sit! I highly recommended it! Perfect New England experience 🐳😊
We had a fabulous experience!! My husband and I took our 5 kids and we loved seeing the whales! It was especially exciting when one whale swam under our boat and out right in front of our seats! Great experience and lovely boat ride. We would do it again!
