We have used the Dolphin Fleet the two or three times we have been to the Cape for whale watching. The staff has always been very knowledgeable and helpful in answering questions. This last trip was less than successful if you are not of the mindset that viewing wildlife is always an iffy situation. We saw one fin-back whale (usually... More

Not too many people on the trip, we figured it would be great for moving around the boat to get great pics of the whales. Although the staff was nice, for the most part, trip was not successful. I've been on previous trips and seen the whales but it was my husband's first whale watch. I wanted more for him.... More

This was not my first whale watch. It was extremely informative and very well organized. We saw several wales, and we also so many other sea animals. The on board naturalist was interesting to listen to and helped us understand many aspects of ocean life.

Imagine actually seeing whales on a whale watch!!! I know!! This was an amazing two and half hours on the ocean. We saw humpbacks and minkie whales and seals and it was the most beautiful and amazing day!! I cannot believe how moving it is to see a whale right next to you in the ocean, so close-up. I was...

We had a beautiful day with perfectly calm seas. How lucky were we. And we had a treat of 3 fin whales that swam next to the boat for an extended period if time. We also saw minke whale. The guide was very informative. A thoroughly enjoyable day. The boat left right on time!

We travelled here from Brewster on the 22nd May having read reviews on tripadvisor. We booked the afternoon trip in advance by phone the night before as we had no wifi, very helpful. On arrival very easy to find and we waited on the dock for the boat to come back from the earlier trip. Tried not to get too... More

I've never been whale watching before. In the past, whenever I had seen the opportunity to go, it was way too expensive. Dolphin Fleet, however was much more affordable than I expected. At $42 per person (including the online discount) it was very affordable and a great value for such a long trip - and they guarantee you see a... More

If you are visiting the cape this summer, go and enjoy a chance with a great Captain and his crew out on the Ocean to see 5 different kinds of Whales. This was one of the best whale watches i have ever been on. The ride out to the spot where the Whales are is a bit long but it... More

Breathtaking, we took the kids and our parents out to see the whales, we all had a fantastic time. The sun was shining, remember the sun cream!! A bit cold in the wind as the boat goes quite fast, take a windshield. The whales put on a great show for us the humpbacks are huge but so graceful. All the... More

Our whole trip to Provincetown was to see some whales. We spent an hour getting to a good spot and then after a half hour wait, we finally did see some minke and humpback whales. It was very exciting to watch these majestic creatures. It was too bad we only saw them for a short time but it was definitely... More
