Great people and cooperative whales

We saw whales! It was obvious our captain was knowledgeable and interested - did much more than just "drive the boat" . You can never be guaranteed a sighting - but regardless you will learn quite a bit

As a teacher, thought the explanations about sea life were informative.

The Other Boat Was Better

I've gone on the whale watching cruise twice before, but I'm wondering if it was with a different company, because it was in a much better boat. All three times were at Dana Harbor. The boat was clean and the crew was really nice, and they did have drinks and snacks on board, but there wasn't enough room to sit, and if you were sitting, the captain was in front, so you couldn't see anything ahead. The other two times I went, the captain was in the back, and there was plenty of seating in the sun and in the shade. I must mention that on all three trips, I never saw any whales, but I have seen plenty of dolphins, and it's great because they come right up to the boat and swim where you can see them only maybe 10 feet away. And there are always lots of oohs and ahhs when they jump and dart around - it's really pretty exciting.

Good experience

Enjoyed the adventure - saw blue whale, dolphins and sea lions. My only negative is that online it advertised grilled food options on the tour, but the grill wasn't turned on - since the tour was 5-7pm - it was over 'dinnertime' and it would've been a plus to be able to purchase items besides 'snacks' for my children.

A wonderful experience. Highly Recommended

We were very lucky, the weather was perfect and we saw lots of dolphins and several blue whales. The guide and crew were courteous and were able to put us at the right spot, at the right time for optimal viewing of the whales when they surfaced. The whole experience was wonderful and we highly recommend it.

Best Harbor Cruise

The whale watching cruise was fantastic. We not only saw blue whales, but we also saw dolphins, shark, and a pilot whale. Ride was smooth. Had a great time!

didn't see any whales

I know that no company can guarantee to see any whales, but i still hoped to see at least one. On the last whale watching trip I took they would stop the boat, shut off the engine, stick into the water some kind of tube with a flare at the end, and a microphone in it, i guess to amplify any sounds that might be heard. I saw 5 whales when they used that technique. This company didn't do that. They just roamed around, or so it seemed. We saw TONS of dolphins, but that's not what I went out to see. Aside from the lack of whales, the boat was nice, the staff were nice. I had no other issues.

Awesome outing!
Fri, Oct 23  4:00 PM kirathena Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Loved this trip, even though it was only 2 hours. Saw blue whales, fin whales, dolphins, and some sea lions. Was a lot of fun, had beautiful views of the Pacific, was exciting to try to spot animals and then race the boat over to where they were, etc. We really enjoyed this trip, although one of us did get seasick so if you have someone with a sensistive stomach this might not be the best trip for them as the ship & speeds make for a choppy, rocking ride sometimes! Otherwise, good price, a lot of fun, and a unique experience!
