Whale Watching Tours In MA
Whale watching tours in MA includes Cape Cod, Provincetown, Boston and Gloucester. Cape Cod was rated among Forbes Traveler's "25 Most Visited Tourist Sites," was rated as "One of the 50 Drives of a Lifetime" by National Geographic Traveler and was the #2 travel destination for 2010, according to Trip Advisor. Provincetown has won many special distinctions over the years, including the Best Beach (Herring Cove, Race Point), Best Museum (Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum), Best Gay Resort Town, Top Five Gay-Friendly Destinations, Best Summer Vacation Destination and One of the 50 Fabulous Gay-Friendly Places to Live. Boston and its 40-minute-away neighbor, Gloucester, also have much to offer the whale watcher. So the next time you visit one of these amazing Massachusetts destinations, why not add a whale watching cruise to your itinerary?
Gloucester whale watching tours are popular because the city is conveniently situated 12 miles from Stellwagen Bank and 8 miles from Jeffrey's Ledge, which are two prime whale feeding grounds. In these areas, there is a 99% chance you'll see minke, finback, sperm, sei, beluga, humpback and blue whales, in addition to dolphins, harbor seals, sea turtles and marine birds. There are many popular tour operators out of Gloucester, including the award-winning 7 Seas Whale Watch (www.7seas-whalewatch.com), the family-owned Captain Bill and Sons (www.captbillandsons.com) and the experienced Cape Ann Whale Watch (www.caww.com).
Boston whale watching tours in MA are a favorite because they have well-established tour operators with high-tech boats and you're close to all the action of Massachusetts' most talked-about city. Adult tickets for a whale watch Boston cruise are usually around $45 for a 3 to 4 hour excursion, no matter where you go. At Boston Harbor Cruises (www.bostonharborcruises.com), you'll depart from Long Wharf and take a high-speed catamaran out to Stellwagen Bank in no time at all, where you'll gain whale research information from the Whale Center of New England's naturalists. Massachusetts Bay Lines (www.massbaylines.com) offers four hour cruises on multi-deck boats departing from Rowes Wharf and feature marine biologists from Whale Net, an educational research program. The New England Aquarium Whale Watch (www.harborexpress.com/whalewatch) departs from Central Wharf on a high-speed catamaran that will zip you out to Stellwagen Bay, where you'll learn interesting facts from the New England Aquarium's own marine biologist.
Its close proximity to the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary makes the Provincetown port the best place to take whale watching tours in MA. Most of the Boston tours spend 45 minutes or so cruising down to whale territory, but visitors to Provincetown can often see the gentle giants breeching from the beach. On your whale watching cruise, you may see humpback, finback, right and minke whales, as well as marine birds, dolphins and sea turtles. A popular operator is Dolphin Fleet, which runs a comfortable 100-passenger vessel with indoor and outdoor decks, not to mention a galley offering full breakfast, lunch and cocktail menus.
