There are no guarantees that you will see anything but we spent an hour and a half surrounded by up to 30 Humpbacked Whales feeding in coordinated pods. The sort of thing you normally only get on television documentaries, a fantastic and informative experience. Well done to onboard expert who spotted and commented throughout.

It's important to dress warmly early in the season as it does get chilly on the boat. The naturalists on board were very informative and available for questions. It was so exciting to see this many whales and so many different varieties. We recommend this highly.

Tops in their field, educational, bathrooms, snack bar. A data gathering vessel, not just a commercial venture. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, jackets with hoods, (hats can fly off!) cameras/videos, binoculars. Try to be hands-free so that you can hold on, move around deck with ease. Wear sensible stable walking shoes too! Boarding ramps and stairs. Indoor coverage is available! Been 4... More

We went on the whale watch on a picture-perfect day in early October. I wasn’t sure what to expect since we were nearing the end of whale watching season. I pretty much figured that we would cross our fingers and hope we saw a whale. Since it was past peak tourist season, there were probably only 40-50 people on the... More

VERY worth every penny!! We went here today (4-17-2013) and we were pretty wary of not seeing any animals, considering how early in the season it is. BUT Mother Nature did NOT disappoint!! We saw a BUNCH of animals. I know this is not under the control of the place, but the guides were fantastic! VERY knowledgeable & VERY friendly!... More

A trip to remember. It was just an awesome sunny day, best for the whale watching. The views of Provincetown were magnificent. There were whales everywhere right in the middle of the ocean, i took lot of pictures and loved it. If you are in Boston or MA, must make a day trip plan for the Provincetown, i am sure... More

OMG if ever the opportunity presents you..DO THIS! It has to be one of the best moments of my life. Never do you expect for a sight to be so breathtaking but it truly was. We have been fortunate enough to do a day time and a sunset trip with the Dolphin feet and both times were beyond our expectations... More

A good trip with informative crew. Also enjoyed the view of Provincetown and coastal area from the sea. We were told that it might get a little rough but anti-seasick tablets were issued and I did not sea any "mishaps".

We had a great time searching and finding whales off of P-town. The crew is friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot. We saw about a dozen different whales, and followed a group of 3 for a while. I took incredible photos that I framed and hung. I also got some good video. Listen to the person selling the tix.... More
