Whale Watch Trip: Embrace the Mystery and Magic of Whales

Embrace the Mystery and Magic of Whales

Join us for an extraordinary adventure in Plymouth, Mass—an early summer whale watch trip. We will embark together on a magical journey to encounter these gentle, soulful giants. Expert naturalists will lead us on a four-hour expedition, promising both enlightenment and excitement.

• Witness the world's most elusive and graceful mammals—humpback whales, finback whales, pilot whales, minke whales, and the endangered right whales—up close.
• Our voyage takes us to Cape Cod Bay and Stellwagen Bank. This National Marine Sanctuary is a rich feeding ground for a variety of whale species, including humpback, finback, pilot, minke, and endangered right whales.
• Keep an eye out for:
  • Humpback Whales: Known for their acrobatic behaviors like breaching and tail slapping, they are a common sight from April to October.
  • Fin Whales: The second-largest whale species, they are best spotted from May to September.
  • Minke Whales: These smaller whales are known for their curious and independent nature and can be seen from April to November.
  • Atlantic White-Sided Dolphins: These playful dolphins are often seen alongside the larger whale species, especially from June to October.
