Our daycare program loved Cape Ann Whale Watch and found the whole experience amazing. We saw a whale breach 4 times and the kids enjoyed every moment of it. With roughly 40 children on board, we were nervous of space, but found the staff and passengers to be very kind to us and helped us every step of the way! Thank you Cape Ann Whale Watch!!

Awesome experience, the feeding ground is only 30 minutes away and we spotted whales the moment we got there. Spent a lot of time watching them, crew was very nice and focused on giving a good experience. Only gripe i have: they add a 3$ "Fuel Charge" at the counter when checking in, that isn't included in the price on tripadvisor.

We had a great trip. We got out into the area and found a mother and a calf hanging out around the surface. We watched them for awhile and while it was fascinating just to be able to witness them, we moved on after 15-20 minutes. We started going again and 10-15 mi utes later a deckhand spotted a very active whale. We got up really close to see and hear tail waves and slapping it against the water. Then he breached. That was amazing. Then he rolled over on his back and started slapping his pectoral fins. Against the water. It was so loud. Then he breached again. And I think he breached again. Very spectacular sight. The naturalist said this was an.very special tour. Not the normal to see all that. We were very lucky. Made for a very special birthday for my wife.
