My husband, myself and our 3 1/2 year old son just returned from our early October 2009 whale watch on the Hurricane II. What an amazing trip. We left right on schedule at 10:00 am and returned about 1:30. We saw and followed 3 amazing humpback whales.At times the whales came so close to the boat you felt like you... more

Highly recommend. We saw lots and lots of whales, more than I was expecting, and I enjoyed the the narration by research scientists who were very knowledgeable. The seas were choppy the day of my trip due to high winds, and most of the young kids got seasick, as well as some adults, but it was a great experience nonetheless. more

Our trip was not only entertaining, but also informative. We had our 5 year old and 2 1/2 year old with us. The crew was very accommodating and the whole experience was very kid friendly. We learned some new things about whales, and we got to see about 1/2 dozen total. The boat was clean and well kept. We would... more

We had an amazing morning watching the humpbacks. The crew gave us lots of information but also time to just watch and wonder! The price was very reasonable too. more

We went out on a Sunday afternoon Whale watch... and it was phenomenal! The staff was so courteous, and we saw over 20 whales! They came so close to the boat, it was truly breathtaking. The girl navigating was excellent and I learned a lot about these magical underwater creatures. Would recommend for families, couples or a group wanting to... more

We enjoyed our fourth whale watch with Cape Ann Whale Watch (CAWW) on Friday, August 7, 8:30 a.m. Most of my family are not morning people, but the staff at CAWW and the expectation of a terrific trip out to see to view -- guaranteed -- whales in their natural habitat quickly makes morning people out of them. My husband... more

They had games for the kids and were always available to answer any questions we might have had.. They went out to whre... more

We have been on over 10 whale watches and Cape Ann was definately the best. Not only did the captain go out of his way (25-30 miles) so that we could enjoy the Whales. There were 30 Humpbacks right near the boat. We didn't know which way to look, they were everywhere. We stayed a good hour with the whales.... more

Cape Ann Whale Watch is one of the best. They went out of there way to turn a bad day in to a wonderful trip. I had locked my purse in the car, with my keys , my camera and my money. I had no way to pay for my trip. The staff at Cape Ann, called my insurance company... more
