★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4,710 reviews · 3h 30m · from $85

Boston whale watching with New England Aquarium naturalists, open-air decks, indoor seating, and strong chances to see humpbacks, fin whales, and dolphins.

“We were very lucky to have a fine day for this activity and although I do suffer from motion sickness I felt absolutely fine for the whole trip. We were given an interesting dialogue on the way out to the whale watching area and it was wonderful to manage to see three magnificent whales.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,115 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $85

Review of Boston’s high-speed whale watch to Stellwagen Bank, with practical advice on sightings, sea conditions, guides, price, and what to bring.

“Was cold and windy on the water, definitely bring a jacket. Thought it was going to be disappointing after 3 hours passed without seeing anything. Luckily we found 2 humpbacks together and saw some incredible things. Full breach, flipper slapping, and general swimming about. Ended up being an absolute stunner of a day.”
