Excellent cruise in which we saw loads of whales, mainly humpbacks but also Minke. I could not believe how close the whales came to the boat. You get an excellent view and it is well narrated by one of the Aquarium staff who was very knowledgeable. more

Having read the other reviews, ( after we had booked the trip,before leaving for the usa ) we were greatly conserned as most of the reviews were of everyone being sea-sick,and crushed on an over crowded boat. We ( my husband and I ) took advice from a family member and only had a very light breakfast, followed by one... more

This was a great trip. The staff was friendly and very knowledgable. We saw many, many whales very close to the boat. Entire trip is about 4 hours. Snacks were available for purchase and reasonably priced. Take dramamine ( if you tend to get sea sick), bring a sweatshirt and camera and you're good to go. more

Took the 2 pm whale watch cruise on Aug. 1st. I booked the tour over the internet. The tour was very well organized and we were fortunate to see a mother and her young swimming close to the boat. The young one was very active. Jumping out of the water and spinning around. What an awesome sight. The crew was... more

We decided to take the trip out with the Aquarium Whale Watch as it's not every day you're in a place where you can see whales in their natural habitat & whilst I'm glad we went, it wasn't quite what I expected & my fiancee had a not-so enjoyable experience. There's two "main" companies that run these trips from Boston... more

We were told the usual... hopefully we'll see some whales, we did see some this morning, if we don't get to see any, you'll receive a voucher to come back some time this season. Well we... more

My family and I went on this whale watch being pretty well prepared after reading some other reviews here. After spending the morning at the aquarium, we ate lunch and downed some dramamine, grabbed jackets and headed to the upper level of the boat. The ride out was insanely windy and I did not have anything to tie my hair... more

We went on the whale watch tour on an overcast day in June with our 2 teens. The further out to sea we went the foggier and colder it became! We all enjoyed the trip and we did see a couple of whales! The crew was great and very informative. We really enjoyed the trip. But, it is a long... more

We went on a rainy day but the boat was covered and we were able to stay out of the rain. We saw a mom and her calf. My daughter's loved it. more
