It was awesome, took our grandson who loves the water but lives too far away. Only thing that would have topped it was the experience I saw on the news from a whale watch out of Provincetown where the whales came over to the boat to say hello! Hope you saw this and I totally understand you don't control what the whales do but just saying, it would have been an unbelievable experience. Your experience was awesome too and can't wait to bring more grandchildren on your tour!

I enjoyed the tour but the number of actual times we could see the wales were few and far between. I wouldn't do it again because of that. Nothing that can be controlled by them. Once was enough for me.

Always amazing. We go several times each summer. Guides are extremely knowledgeable. Boat is clean. A great way to spend a summer morning or afternoon. We'll go a couple more times this season to enjoy the wind, waves, and whales.

We love Cape Ann Whale Watch! We brought our grandchildren with us and they love it too! This one was the best experience we have had over the years. The whales were very active and playful and we even had a school of dolphins pass by. The crew is excellent as well!
