On this ocean adventure, you’ll board a high-speed catamaran and head out into New England waters to spot some of the many resident whales. A professional naturalist will be your guide, and they’ll teach you about the different species you could see, like the humpback, finback, minke and pilot whales or even the endangered right whale.

You’ll reach the Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary where you’ll have the best chance to watch the magnificent marine mammals in their feeding grounds. You could also see other wildlife like dolphins and sea birds.
