This whale watch cruise exceeded all expectations! The crew's expertise and passion for marine life shone through as they provided informative commentary, and we were lucky enough to spot a playful pod of dolphins alongside the breathtaking whale sightings.

I highly recommend the New England Aquarium Whale Watch Cruise to anyone visiting the area. The vessel was comfortable, the crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and the opportunity to observe a mother and calf pair of endangered right whales left us in awe of the wonders of nature.

Jennifer White

This Whale Watch Cruise was an unforgettable experience! We were thrilled to witness a group of humpback whales breaching and splashing around just a few feet from the boat, making it a truly up-close encounter with these majestic creatures.
