JUST THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE OF BEING THERE AND WATCHING THE WHALES IN THAT SURROUNDING. I’ve always wanted to do that trip but was always traveling alone. This time I was able to enjoy with family.

We were able to see the whales very close and very active. Our captain was kind enough to stay bit longer and even stopped on the way back to see dolphins.

This was our first whale watching experience, but will not be our last. The entire experience was great from start to finish. From the moment we left the harbor until we returned, we learned some key information about the area and the whales. I appreciated that were we able to see four whales who the crew knew their names and had studied/watched them for a while. At the same time, the crew balanced giving us a great experience with not impeding on them and their natural behavior. We highly recommend this experience with Cape Ann Whale Watch. It was a beautiful, sunny day, but the breeze can be brisk in October so do prepare for that. The cup of hot chocolate from concessions helped as well. Do this experience...you will not regret it!

Good experience at this price. Do not expect whales to make a heroic entry. no jumping out of water. The expectation should be in limits. The trip is all natural and easy to understand. Total of 3 hours approx with 1.5 hours of traveling in the Atlantic ocean. The staff is super friendly and helpful. 10/10 for the staff. I saw three whales which was a good experience. Recommended. It is not near the cape code. It is near Boston city.

My boyfriend and i had never been to Gloucester before!!! what a Beautiful place!!! the whale watch was fun but didn't see a whole lot of whales and if/when i did, i captured the tail!!! It was something. I love seeing 4 lighthouses that i had never seen before also!! We will be back. I am going to do the whale watch again during the summer!!!! Maybe, my luck at seeing whales will change then!!!! Staff knowledge about whales was great!!
