We went out on the Sept.28th cruise. It was a beautiful warm sunny day. We saw many humpback whales. It was like being in the middle of a whale playground. We had great, up close views. We initially thought the prices were expensive ($45.00 per ticket, $15.00 parking), but my husband said,"We definitely got our money's worth." For the best... more

We are just back from a visit to the cape and the whale watch was absolutely wonderful. We first saw a couple of whales for about 15 - 30 minutes and then happened to see 2 groups of 5 - 7 whales in each group. It was absolutely breathtaking to see these magnificient animals. A must see!!! The captian and... more

We went in the beginning of July of 2009. AMAZING! a definate must-see attraction. DO NOT go home without going whale watching. It did rain while we went but we were so close to the whales. This one is a little more expensive than the others but you can print out a coupon from their website for $3 off per... more

My son and I had the pleasure of taking this cruise at the beginning of July. From the moment we purchased our tickets until we got off the boat, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff on the boat and in the store were very helpful and friendly. We were fortunate enough to see 5 humpback whales which was incredible. Based... more

I was super excited about going on a whale watching cruise because I've never seen a whale in real life so when I knew we were going to Hyannis, I knew I had to go on the whale watcher cruise. We got there an hour early for the 10:00 am trip because that's what other tripadvisor members suggested, and we... more

My husband and I went on this for my 28th birthday. He usually gets seasick, but he took Dramamine and wore seasickness bracelets and he was fine. We saw 6 whales, most of them right next to the boat. I recommend getting there at least 1 hour early to get a seat. There is food sold on board for reasonable... more

Get there early, at least an hour to get a ticket. We miss the morning boat because it ran out of tickets so we bought ticket for the afternoon boat. There is parking for an additional fee. It took about 40 minutes to get out to the area where the whales were. the ride was a little rough, they go... more

We had a fabulous time! My only complaint is that it's a large boat with alot of people, so everyone runs from side to side when the whales are spotted. We saw 5 whales when we were out, 3 species. My video is better than the photos because by the time you snap the shutter, they may be gone! Would... more
